I have had hardly any luck picking up books I am looking for, however I was able to get this. Detective 30 7.0 unrestored and here is a nicer image of my 29 I am still looking for a 27 and 28 mainly with no luck :-( Ironically I now have 3 29's 2 coverless and my restored copy above. James G

Thank you,I've been working on it for some time. I agree,the 28 does seem undervalued, especially by guide.I would guess that an unrestored 2.0 copy may push past the 5K barrier. try 6K+ easy...in fact, I think our own Kimik sold one in cgc 2.0 for about that (thumbs u HAH this is funny I think it would go for more then 6K as I have been trying to locate one in any shape with little luck. I would pay 8-10K for a unrestored 2.0 depending on how it looks. I have wanted to track down a 27 and especially a 28 for a long time. I think I will have to get one if not this year then next. I also have always thought that 29 was undervalued as well, but we have discussed that a bit in this thread already. James G

Here is a shot of my 29 in the CGC holder. I think in may respects it looks better then the 3.5 grade, I am guessing the pages sticking out pulled the grade down? James G

I have loved this thread and have been watching it until I had some time. I have a Tec 29 that I bought about 10 years ago off ebay. It was missing the centerfold, about a month after I picked it up a incomplete coverless copy showed up on ebay and I was able to win that was well. The down side was that the coverless book had a few panels cut which wasn't mentioned in the auction and so my now restored book is complete but has 4 married wraps. Matt thought it would be a 5.5 but it got a 3.5. I have not had any luck buying any other books and of course I regret selling the 34 and 36 I used to own. Also had a coverless 38 at one point but I don't miss that as much. James G
