This is an older post about Lewis Wayne Gallery from an older thread It's this restoration guy: Comic Art Restoration who runs the Lewis Wayne Gallery. Here's info dug from an older thread - Posted by EsquireComics: "Here is the response I received from Robert Dennis earlier today. The delay for posting was to receive his approval to disseminate it, which I now just received. Hello Mark, Lewis Wayne Gallery doesn't have anything to do with Heritage Auction Galleries beyond normal, good business relations and dealing with many of the same clients. Heritage does not own LWG or any part of it, and LWG has never offered a single comic book or piece of art while that item was owned by Heritage. The contact information initially used for lewiswaynegallery.com originated from Heritage while my family and I closed on a house near Dallas. I used to do freelance cataloging for Heritage, which is how I met Jim Halperin. Jim is one of Heritage's owners and also a major comics collector. As I didn't have an address or home phone number and really needed to get the business going, Jim said I could use Heritage contact information until we were settled in. I didn't think it would be a big deal until I was contacted about the CGC chat boards a few months ago. I changed the information then. While some of the people at Heritage have helped me greatly, I've made apersonal challenge for myself to see if LWG can sell certain pieces for more than Heritage. Business is business. I know that, for now, LWG isn't in the same league as Heritage. But I've shown that with a clean, easy to navigate eBay store layout, greater insight into the artists that produce the art, good service, and images that better reflect the actual color and texture of the pieces, we have been able to sell similar pieces for even more than they previously realized in a Heritage auction. I took on a similar challenge when CGC first started. CGC and others often pointed out the unscrupulous grading practices of certain comic dealers on eBay, and the price of unslabbed comics on eBay plummeted. Under my agraphicstateofmind eBay ID, I wrote an editorial about CGC and my experiences as a comic dealer, and then successfully sold three raw Silver and Bronze age comic collections over the next couple of years at an average of about 80% of Overstreet Guide, which is a lot higher than most other comic dealers were getting for raw comics.

Love the Crippen Pre-Robin Tecs, great book, still have one left myself

you make it sound like you had a choice last week.

And I'm trying to get rid of my Chatzilla status. Almost there +1

I've always looked at a custom title as a badge for the "special" boardies or a warning...

That is a beautiful copy!

Display-name changed from "Detective33Kid" to "Wayne-Tec". Not having posted much in the Batman threads for the last 2 months, I am grateful for the hint in your sig, I would have had no idea who you were and would have thought there was someone new collecting Pre Robin Tecs

Great book , I rate 29 much higher than the 31

Do you have a 28? why did i think u did This was just a shot of my Bat covers. My coverless 28,30 CGC 3.5 ,32 raw, and coverless 34 are not pictured. (And I actually just very recently sold my 28 ) O i gotcha you should take a pic with all them in it All but 28 Most impressive. And I think I have owned one of those books

Too bad you're across the pond. You've got some nice stuff that's reasonably priced. I'm sure I could work out a deal for a nice person like you (thumbs u I'd run, that's his chat up line...

+1 Anyone land any Pre-Robin Tecs recently? Just got this in yesterday.. A nice upgrade and early X-mas gift to myself AMAZING. Any story behind this one? I believe he was tempted by the devil for this book and all it cost was a piece of his soul. Sweet book well worth the price

Nick,can you send me some scans of your run of Fantastic Four? Front and back scans pretty please

It's all sorted out with Nick, Romain. (thumbs u

Yes, especially pedigree copies of 36 will shoot through the roof.

Wow

Congrats, I love this book, nice looking copy as well

now that is an acceptable " "

Congratulations to both of you! Actually it will be a 3 way deal which was great and really shows how great this board is. I will be getting Andre's undercopy and will post as soon as I get it :-) I have now managed a run of 28-30, but think like many others I will just not be able to get that 27. Time will tell. Thanks guys for making this deal work out and thanks also to Gator. James G Yep. a great deal and we all ended up with stunning copies of Tec 28, surely one of the most undervalued Pre Robin Tecs. Enjoy the book Andre, I know I did

I'd wait till Nov, then nominate the boardie and keep the $100 if he hasn't paid by then.

Now I know you're lying. The Ark was a box. Never seen the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark

If you PM me your mobile I can let you know when and were most of us are going to meet up. I remember last year you said the same to me and then never answered your mobile

This is the wrong thread, this is the PRE-ROBIN thread!!! Great great book, incredible grade. I actually wrestled with where it belonged. Maybe we need a third thread designation. I wish you had shown me the book in person, looks great

Finally picked up this little book at NYCC with a little help from Rick
