I have to admit that I was a little surprised about the Tec 36 price being so high, but then again, nothing surprises me in the Pre-Robin Tec world anymore. As for the Tec 27, possibly the fact that it was incomplete and didn't have the best page quality kept it under 30k.
BARELY under $30k. My point was that I thought the Tec 27 price was HIGH. The trifecta of coverless / incomplete / brittle is pretty brutal. I think there's a HUGE difference between coverless but complete, and coverless / incomplete / brittle (and I would expect that to be reflected in the price). Makes me wonder what a coverless but complete copy would sell for now.
I guess the take home message from the recent CL auction is that all the Pre-Robins sold for higher prices than expected. These Pre-Robins keep going for crazy prices with no slow down in sight.
