I like to refer to it as "happy feet"

I don't know...I have bought and sold double digits of copies of 31 and 35...after a while, really no pain at all

Hi Swapto, I'd say around 23,000 give or take. Not many compared to some but they are nearly all pre 1980. that is still most impressive (thumbs u

agreed, I have yet to see any price pull back on Batman covered, pre robin Tecs...even the non bat covered tecs seem to be consistent, though not 100% in the upward direction... FMV there is a definitive answer (well, kind of) grade for grade, Tec 29 and 31 sell almost neck and neck, followed by Tec 35, followed by tec 33, followed by 36 and then 37 (I left non bat covers out)... FMV conclusion would seem to point to 31 as probably "winning" the race, but 29 is almost interchangable at this point I personally like the combination of 2nd bat cover, and scarcity, to propel tec 29 over tec 31 to the finish line...so there is my definitive answer... I rank bat covers, value wise as : 27,29,31,35,33,36,37... (thumbs u since many many of these books sell privately, GPA will never fully capture the market... I will be submitting a lot of sales of tec 27,29,31,33,35, 36 and 37 (as well as others) to GPA, and that will help clear the picture up...maybe I am fortunate to have a lot of sales info the public doesn't but, if you review gpa, tec 31 is the winner, followed by 29, then 35, then 33 Imran has posted and echos my sentiment...I believe 1koko and Andre and Primetime and Ronaldo, etc are well qualified to comment (as having put the entire run together)... I think folks on the boards know that I have bought and sold more pre robin tecs than any active member of the boards (and no I don't count metro, heritage , clink , they have all sold more than me, but I don't consider them "active" posters like most of us) 31 is very cover driven, 29 is scarcity and cover driven, 35 is scarcity, cover AND what only primetime has pointed out, SPLASH page driven (the best bat splash page there is, imo)... now, that said, much like the 33's origin story, the 35 splash is only a factor as far as folks "know" it is there, but can't see it when I figure put my run together, you know the issue I bought first... tec 33...not because I thought it was the best or whatever (I do love it), but because it was the most readily available copy in the market (and still is today)... there is more supply at current prices than demand for 33, when compared to the other "3"... Sorry Rick, where's 28 in all of this? I only analyzed bat covers... clearly tec 28 is the toughest to find both unrestored and even restored, and sells for multiples of guide (thumbs u

several for you too!

Quite a few are in my hands. indeed they are (thumbs u

very cool...I wish I was more organized

Note the amazing facial resemblence to Billy P, (thumbs u Luv you Bill Bunk

the entire KDF run is great... I kept one of my 2/7's for the first app of the Masked Marvel I kept my Detective Eye 1 and 2 I kept my Stars and Stripes 2-5/5 (complete 6 issue run) I kept my Funny pages 35 (just too cool) and I have kept some others here and there...but out of the 250+ I had, all are now in other hands!

yes, looks pretty nice for a 1.5

I have been looking for a nice Bulls Eye 11 for some time now (thumbs u

The first time I saw photos of BZ's collection I had a similar dream that night. It has happened more than once since why would gary's wife be in your dream

my dream was I was invited over for a weekend of geeking, and realized that a weekend was not even enough to scratch the surface, so I stayed a week and was offered to "take home" a few goodies

Beautiful books! Wow! Nice!

Ian, the book Jerome mentions above is the same book scott found on ebay. i do not know what he paid for it. I paid scott $400USD for it. it has a large chuck missing from the FC but otherwise complete. holy ... $400 for a .5 now I don't feel bad selling a vg/fn for $250 (that is what I was offered at mega con for the copy I paid $15 for just hours before, and I was actually a little uneasy about someone paying me "that much" but the customer insisted it was worth that to him)... wow

I cannot believe anyone would sell that for fifteen dollars. It makes my head reel. and that one was cheaper than the surrounding buzzy issues he had in the box, because it was lower grade... I assume he priced it off the guide but I didn't wait long to ask him... simply said "i'll take it" and plopped down a ten and five spot and walked back to my booth... seemed like the guy had a lot of the buzzy run

Wow. How much was it ?? How did you get it ?? Mine was six years ago. I found mine at mega con in March...$15 from a smaller dealer... I put it on my wall (no price) and due to the "legend" of the book from the cgc boards, I got a VERY nice offer for it ...so, indirectly, I have Ian to thank
