Tecc 33 in Comiclink Exchange

[Dark Knight]

Well, looks like the PGX 4.0 Tec 33 is now in a CGC 3.0 label

 

Tec 33

[Silver Surfer]

I commented that someone was going to potentially land a gem if they gambled on that PGX slabb. Didn't it sell for around $7,500[/i], check that $7,900. White pages!

[Dark Knight]

I'm wondering how much a 3.0 with white pages is worth

[Silver Surfer]

Maybe at least $10,000?? as most copies I have seen are restored and a Tec #35 runs about that much and this is more of a key. I see that the Crippen Tec #31 is coming up in Heritage's October auction.

It looks like someone made a good call picking this book up. I think 12K is somewhat high though, $9-$10K is more realistic.

[Yannis]

Yea maybe , but now its a cgc book, so you never know.

The white pages won't hurt either.

[Dark Knight]

I estimate the book to be about $9500

[TFL-migration]

I'd say $8750 A nice book, that's for sure.

[Dark Knight]

I think it should go up in the C-link focused auction. Not sure why the seller did not do that

Yea that is not easy to come by at all. It could hit the 10k mark with this.

That's a lot of tape on that book.

My thoughts exactly.

Ditto. tape is a killer for me on unrestored books. I see it as Amateur restoration since if it were rice paper it would have a purple label. But with tape it gets a blue label and notes. And I'd rather it be rice paper.

 

I have never understood this position by CGC. Just my viewpoint, not even trying to make an argument.

 

Still a nice book.

I'll say $9250...

Yeah there is a lot of tape. It really bothers me when I see books like this get taped up just so they can fit in a blue label. Couple drops of glue is a no no but go ahead and throw as much duct tape as you want and its okay.

5.5 is probably a little out of my range, unfortunately. I would LOVE to own that book...thoughts on what that book hammers at??

I've never understood CGC's position on this either. It doesn't make sense. You can put gobs of tape all over the book and get a blue label, but just a little bit of glue and you get the dreaded PLOD.

 

Also it seems the regrading on this book was a little bit of a double edged sword. While the seller got the coveted unrestored CGC blue label which I know everyone would certainly prefer over a PGX blue label, unfortunately the grade on the CGC book went down a whole point from the grade on the PGX label. Now what would everyone prefer, a CGC blue label 3.0 or a PGX blue label 4.0?
