Bedrock: I would love to hear your opinion of fmv as well of the as 3 in the 6.0-7.0 range...
-J.

in the past 10 years, I have owned almost 30 tec 31's, 15 tec 35's, 10 tec 29's and 1 (that's right, just one) tec 33....
demand over the past 10 years has lagged behind the other 3....now, don't misinterpret, demand for 33 is strong!, it just generally pales to the other 3 (always exceptions)
Wow, spread the love baby!
What about this recent data though?
Heritage Auction: Tec 33, 8.0 (fourth highest graded, of three): $68.7K
Heritage Auction: Tec 29, 2.0 $10.7K
Heritage Auction: Tec 35, 1.5 $7.1K
CC Auction: Tec 35, 7.5 (second highest graded, of one): $63K
CC Exchange Sale: Tec 33, 1.5 $12.5K
My Comic Shop: Tec 29, 1.5 unsold at $12.8K for months
Ebay: Restored, raw Tec 35 unsold at $11.5K for months
By the way, I make no secret of my bias towards 33, which existed long before I actually owned one.

Rick I would have thought #35 was the easiest to track down? I have seen endless copies in the last 10 years in comparison to #33.
33 is the "toughest" to sell. 35 one of the easiest (with 31). But there had been more 33 on the market historically due to the origin content and ospg designation. But in last 10 yrs demand has skyrocketed for 31/35/29 due to covers. They are all "available" but 33s, when not auctioned , seem to sit the longest and hence are the most available
This may have been true in recent years past, I have no doubt, but the last two non-auctioned Tec 33's I saw available on CLink and CC's exchange sold within days, and I snatched mine off ebay within 24 hours of the seller listing. As of now there is not one available online that I know of. Whereas there is currently a 29 on mycomicshop/ebay for months, and a 35 on ebay as well, with at least three other 35's I've seen sell in the last six months alone. Gator is definitely a far more savvy expert than I, but in my layman experience I have seen the scarcity-common line more like this recently (of the big four, excluding 27): 31, 33, 29, 35.

Hi there Gator!
You're obviously The Man on here, what with your very own thread and nearly 350 pages! Wow. Mind if I ask you what the FMV on an All Star 3 would be in a 6-7 range in your opinion? I have a buddy with a copy I'm looking at and I'm new to the GA aspect of collecting so an assist from a dealer's point of view would be much appreciated.
Warm regards, and thank you in advance.
-J.
A 6.0 would be in the 8-9k retail range...maybe 10k
A 6.5 likely 10-12
A 7.0 likely 15k range
Depends on eye appeal and pq etc.
Thanks Gator that's super advice, and very glad I asked. I notice those prices are quite a bit below guide even. I'm taking it that the book is soft right now? PQ OW/W by the way.

These superior spider-man variants seem to be good buys no matter who the artist is. (unless its Skottie Young)
Eh....#22 (Campbell) didn't really seem to hold. Right now the only one that looks to have real staying power is #20. But we shall see.....
-J.

yeah, pretty sure. someday Ill know for sure.
Damn, if it hasn't had anything done, that looks AT LEAST as nice on the one that just sold on CC. Mega congratulations on that puppy either way.

Picked this up a couple of months ago. I kept forgetting to post it in this thread. I've been wanting to join for a while now.
Fantastic book.
Gotta be worth as least double the face value.
Holy sh*t. Spectacular copy. We might as well just shut this whole thread down after that bad boy.

as they say in Star Wars "there is another…"
Absolutely gorgeous. Has it had restoration?

That 7.5 Tec 35 was a 6.5 which sold for 50K in the Heritage Auction in 2012. Great book, but how did it jump a whole grade point since then?
That's a good question....TWO grade points actually.
-J.

29s seem to have lost some steam the past year or so. I've seen a decent amount of copies circulate publicly. 31s have been far and few on the open market the past several months. 7.5 Tec 35 sold for $63k this evening. Pretty strong price.
can't really compare price points for low to mid and high grade--they are all on different levels. Low grade must compare to low, mid to mid, high to high. I sold my 3.5 Tec 29 in the low 20s earlier this year which it traded hands a few times since at slightly more. And yes, the 31 has its own gravitational pull as do all quintessential covers
the gun holster and full webbed wingspan (quite different than 29) are underrated. We've talked many days on how the 29, 31, and even 35 have been selling at higher price points for several years now. 33 is still cool.Ben I agree but I still love it. Great action shot, gun holster, just awesome.Is that belief backed up by recent sales data? I am wondering what, if anything, you guys make of the recent auction results and sales the past few months when it comes to 29, 33, and 35:
Heritage Auction: Tec 33, 8.0 (fourth highest graded, of three): $68.7K
Heritage Auction: Tec 29, 2.0 $10.7K
Heritage Auction: Tec 35, 1.5 $7.1K
CC Auction: Tec 35, 7.5 (second highest graded, of one): $63K
CC Exchange Sale: Tec 33, 1.5 $12.5K
My Comic Shop: Tec 29, 1.5 unsold at $12.8K for months
Ebay: Restored, raw Tec 35 unsold at $11.5K for months
These recent results seem to suggest more of a parity in pricing to me. Yes they are only the most recent from the last few months, but all trends start somewhere. 31 still seems to be on another level, as always.
Food for thought.
-J.
I don't think I'll ever sniff a 31 in this lifetime
.But yes, I did try to locate the sales in the 1.5-2.0 range along with the two comps in the 7.5-8.0 range. I just found the recent comparable sales data on the three books to be a bit intriguing. Not that 29 or 35 are losing ground, but 33 is perhaps making up a little.
-J.
That was a strong price on the CC auction for the 35 tonight. CC was good with their marketing on it as well: "second highest graded" in the ad and such. How would you reconcile that price against the nearly $69K for the 8.0, 33 on Heritage a couple weeks back? Also a strong price for that one? It seems to me when there are a bunch of one or the others of these things in any given year, it quells demand for them quite a bit. Right now (and usually) 31 seems to be the least available. For awhile 33 seemed readily available. I've seen a bunch of 35's and 29's this year.

Duh!
. I wouldn't say that one is collected for the "cover" though.-J.

I sometimes think if Kane drew the 33 as a night cover loaded with a full moon and rolling fog (like the 29 and 31), it would be in ranks with the 29/31Time to bump this thread with my new Tec 33
Just love this cover, congrats Bill that is a keeper!
....Or if one of the dudes in the car was holding a syringe to the other's neck.
I personally dig all four of the "classic cover" pre Robin Tecs (29, 31, 33, 35). None of them come cheap, but I gave the 33 the nod for the first told 1930's Bats' "origin" story inside.

I might as well post my own recent pick up and admission ticket to this club. She is well travelled for sure but has now found a permanent home with me. I affectionately call her "Ol' Tapey".
-J.
Wonderful book! Major congrats. And white pages to boot
I thought you liked them tan
Thank you Ciorac, I figured somebody would call me on that too
. The "white pages" designation is certainly a nice cherry, but I would have still picked it up with Tan, Dark Tan, Pink, Brittle, or whatever pages it had, just to get one that I could actually afford.

Many thanks for the kind comments chaps - the # 28 I actually took in trade along with a # 34 & # 38 from a customer last year, all raw, and had Matt redo the #28 & # 38 (they had spine tape) - I'm rather pleased with them.
The # 31 I bought rather impulsively from CC last year after seeing it at the London Con, after I kept getting outbid on a 4.0 MP copy they had in their auction, which ended up selling for over $15K, less than a $1K cheaper than this 7.5 - I put it up in the Want to trade forum last year to see if anyone wanted to trade me a lower grade copy, but I guess no-one wanted to part with a low grade one.
Nice! Don't let the purple label bother you, that's a beautiful book in any slab colour in any condition. You actually HAVE one. It's a treasure to be sure.
-J.

Would be better to bump with an acquisition.
OK then...
That's the ticket!
Unreal books. Wow. Where have you been hiding these puppies?

pretty weak 8.0Here we goNew to market, 8.0 CR/OW. Wonder where will this end up?
I was thinking the same thing too. I don't like the centering as much as I wanted to. Too many tick marks on spine to warrant an 8.0. Seen better looking 7.0/7.5 copies
...and call me crazy but I would like to see a back cover scan without having to ask for it at anything near this price point.
-J.
Worst thing about Clink.
Scroll all the way down in the auction though Argh. Missed that. Doesn't show up in the main pictures section when accessed through the mobile ebay app.

By the way there's a couple of nice looking ST 110s (a 5.5 and a 7.0) on Heritage ending tonight, both still sitting at very low bids. Opportunity knocking mayhaps?
-J.
I saw your post so I just went to see the results:
Strange Tales #110 (Marvel, 1963) CGC FN- 5.5 Off-white to white pages: $1,553.50
Strange Tales #110 (Marvel, 1963) CGC FN/VF 7.0 Cream to off-white pages: $3,079.52
I don't wanna sell mine but
that's a lotta money.The 5.5 got a good price. I think the 7.0 was a little low considering what their 8.0 just went for on there. But they both definitely got some late auction action. Nice to see the book is still chugging along though.
-J.

I don't see it going much above its starting price. Has a reserve yet started at 27k...
Yes that's kind of odd but I think it will top $30K easy.
-J.
That much better presenting than the last 2 8.0s? Doesn't have the nice PQ the last 2 did.
True. But 8.0's aren't exactly falling out of the trees and a CR/OW book can easily come back an OW book or better on a resub if it really bothered someone that much. Me personally, I give PQ the least amount of weight on a label, so long as the pages aren't brittle or noticeably Tan on the edges.
-J.
Oh I agree they aren't common and PQ is the least important, but 2 have been reported to GPA this year with the last one back in october for just over 29,000 and then a 7.5 in nov for 26,000.
Wasn't there an 8.0 on CC that sold for $30K+ recently? Or was that an 8.5?
Yes Barry did just make his debut on Arrow. Good times.
-J.
There was a Showcase #4 CGC 8.0 that sold on CC for 29K & change. I was on the prowl for that one, but decided to go with an IH #1 CGC 8.0 White Mtn pedigree copy instead!
That Hulk 1 was a sweet pick up, good job on that one.
After hearing those GPA results, I am inclined to agree with you guys now, it will probably go a smidge under $30K. But it only takes two squirrels fighting over the same nut to push it past that. We shall see....
