Greenlake Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) 8 hours ago, Sqeggs said: I actually hate to see names removed from covers. Admittedly the appearance is improved, but you lose the provenance of the book. It's kind of neat that decades ago a girl bought this book off the stands and wrote her name on it. Before the Larson pedigree was a big deal, some collectors/dealers had his signature removed from some books. Who know, maybe some day we'll find a big stash of Barbara's other books. Yeah, I hate to see owner's signatures get erased. It seems like such a cynical way of making money. Edited March 12, 2018 by Greenlake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one don't care much for double covers. I find GA 15c covers MUCH more cool (Crippen Tec 43 for instance).

Dark Knight Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I used to own that Tec 48 double cover. Bought it from the original owner. Graded out as 1st cover 7.5, interior cover a 8.0. Gotham Kid and Tbone911t 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lhcomics Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 With so many Detective comics ending tonight on ComicConnect I sure there will be surprises high and low. I'm tempted to place a bid on #28. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotham Kid Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) The Tec 33 6.5 is a clear winner. Currently sitting at 75K, it sold 2 years ago on ComicLink for 51K. Edited March 21, 2018 by Gotham Kid Knightsofold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn. #33 was a pre tec I thought was undervalued a couple years ago and put off getting one. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjeanius Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I am leaning towards consigning my blue 1.5 Tec 31 to an upcoming ComicConnect auction, so very interested to see where those books end tonight. Does it make a noticeable difference whether a book is placed in one of the "Super Monthly" auctions, as opposed to an Event Auction? On one hand, the Event Auction gets more pub. On the other, the Event Auctions are also always loaded to the teeth with backbreaking blue chip books. So...maybe it would be better to be the only Tec 31 in a Super Monthly...as opposed to being one of many many amazing books in an Event Auction...?

These days, I don't think a book like Tec 31 is overlooked wherever it's listed. That said, I'm still inclined to think that Heritage Signature auctions are the best venue.

At 17.2k i think i have a shot. Maybe the two coverless copies have dried up the bidders. The chicago boy heritage brittle trimmed copy missing cf 43k and and the 22k no cf and not batman pages. I could get it under 25k:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lou_fine Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Didn't have time to take a close look at the scans yet, but it appears that the 'Tec 31 1.0 is going (so far only) for $10K more than the CGC 2.0 graded copy. Do the Brittle pages really knock the value of the book down by that much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
