WOW! Very very cool!

4K in my opinion is a pretty fair, even low price, if it's complete - for that Tec 31 Gator is offering. A CGC .5 Tec 31 missing a back cover and missing a bunch of the front cover sold for $3,400 in 2008. http://www.comicspriceguide.com/blog/post/2008/11/13/Detective-Comics-31-CGC-5-Brings-243400.aspx I think 4K is the bottom floor on the Tec 31 nowadays.

I love it!!!

Awesome pick up! Freaking love that cover!

Massive Congrats to you RedFury!! That's as awesome as it gets!!

Very overlooked, I have never even noticed this book in my years of collecting. But I must say that is very cool! Tom and Jerry brings me, and I'm sure all other boardies, fond memories of another time. Do you know if this came before or after they aired as a cartoon?

Incredible!!

WOW! Now that's a super high grade GA gem if I ever saw one!

That's a real beauty, with a nice surprise! Congrats!!! WOW!!!! You could call that centerfold a MASTERPIECE, but having Kirby's signature is PRICELESS!!! Great pickup. (thumbs u +1

My guess that it will sell at $4250 $4350. There may be a ceiling for restored or even slightly brittle copies, but it seems like there's also something of a floor. I'd guess that "most times" a #35 with a cover that presents that well is going to break $4K, almost regardless of its other qualities. I agree with both of your range of estimates. And P5, I completely agree with your reasoning of Tec 35. As I said earlier I believed (and still pretty much do) that the general going rate of a Tec 35 with a cover regardless, should be more in line with 5K. These EP are just odd balls right now and the fact that there are too so close probably hurt the rate of the former. I think your dead on with the floor being 4K, and frankly due to the volatile nature of the book, even though sources indicate the 3.0 EP should logically sell for much lower (say a grand or so) than the 5.5 EP, I still would not be surprised (however unlikely) if the 3.0 EP somehow sold for more than the 5.5 EP - given how volatile the market is. And as Rick said that 5.5 had a poor visual appearance in person. It's already sitting at $3,101 with 12 days left.

Ben, you the man! You the man! Gravy, just gravy. Does it get any better than those four monster grails, nope. Quite something Ben, to say the least. it helps to have the Gator connection Does indeed

Here's a new one I picked up off eBay, and my first foray into high grade Tecs.

Fantastic book John!! Very very strictly graded IMHO.

Great book John!

I think Pre-Robin King, is more appropriate for you, with your collection. Ha, I wish! Maybe I can accept the title if I add that 4.0 Tec 27 There are two on the market! What's an organ or two anyway?

Hey, my old 32 is back in your hands again Alex. Glad you did get back. It is a very solid low grade coppy. Yes indeed, I enjoy my Yannis hand-me-downs. Third time I've bought this book. (And believe it or not, the cheapest! )

Hoarding is great since it's what you enjoy (pre-robin). It is, and feels good to hoard. I have an obsession! Great Batman collection Alex. Thanks!!! Now if I can only find a Tec 34! Someone please sell me one!!!

I've officially turned into a Pre-Robin hoarder My second Tec 32. (And my third double Pre-Robin)

Fantastic!, Very fantastic!

Wow, great piece RedFury!!! One of the all time greatest covers (and GA artists!)
