a special thank you goes out to Jamie Graham for making this happen. And to Gator for being so patient and answering my questions. FYI, the white lines are on the case (i'll get it reholdered at some point), not the book, which looks much brighter than my scanner.

Great copy! Very nice!

Rick is the man!

Pretty sure it was the cream to off-white pages that brought the grade down.

Happy!

 

 

Wow! That's extremely pretty!

Fantastic cover and white pages!

That .5 Tec 33 sold for $4,800 on comic link, seems I was pretty close on my 5K FMV estimate.

No problem.

I don't know if it was a true tutorial, but it was defiantly a comic geek rambling about his opinions.

And yes it is, but I purchased it after the auction, (for a bit more )

There are true .5's :

(Est FMV: $1,500-$2,000)

And then there are "diamonds in the rough" .5's like the one you point out on clink:

(Est FMV: $5,000 asking seems "justified")

I would say depending on how it presents a .5 Tec 33 is worth about 2-5K max. This Tec 33 you point out on Comiclink is an exceptionally nice presenting .5, and appears to be a .5 out of technicality (the detached and split cover would be 1.0, but that combined with the chunk out of the back appears to have pushed it over to .5)

In this one instance, because it presents so nice, I think the 5K is justified.

There's got to be a floor on everything. These kind of .5's are very uncommon "diamonds in the rough"

I sold a Tec 35 much in this same shape (detached and split cover and first wrap) and was restored as a .5 CGC and got $5100 back in early 2011.

In my opinion a true Tec 33 2.0 is worth roughly 8-10K depending on how it presents. That 2.0 that sold did not look bad but not great and the wretched case may have hampered its appeal. (I can't stand those cases and might even skip a book just because of the wretched case - can't store those conveniently at all and looks terrible). So the $7,000 or so made sense on it there.
