Dark Knight Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Yeah I passed on that Tec 33 because of the name in pen writing. Just a turn off for me. Cant believe Stephen Ritter tried to sell it a full grade higher, actually doesn't surprise me because I bought a raw book from him before and it graded out a full grade lower than what he graded. I wonder if he does a lot of this crack out of slab to sell raw at a higher grade sort of thing Larryw7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatCaesarsGhost Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) 7 hours ago, Gotham Kid said: from a PM I sent to an insterested boardie: That book was bought by Stephen Ritter ( WorldWide Comics ) at auction on ComicLink for $27,805 5/28/2019 as a 3.0. I think it circulated raw before that on ebay a while before. He cracked it out and was selling raw as a "4.0" (full grade higher than CGC grade) on his site for 38.5K. Got fed up after a while, had it pressed re-subbed and managed the 3.5. Same asking price. It has a "pending sale" on his site. https://www.wwcomics.com/comicdetail.asp?Product_ID=Detective_33_88484 It will likely be shilled on ComicLink (apparently not hard enough) It didn't sell strong as a 3.0, it won't either as a 3.5. The reason is obvious. That particular copy will always under-sell, all things being "free of shenanigans." Scan for posterity ALL I have to say about all this is suck it !!! This may seem presumptuous of me, given my low post count, but . . . Good job everyone on this thread. I, too, passed on it earlier this year, and then again last night, due to the unsightly name. I own books with kids names written on them(Tommy Thorson, anyone?), and I guess to me it just depends on its placement on the cover and it’s level of neatness.

I have 2 from the Tommy Thorson collection, one with the name and one without...cool collection, nice to know another quality boardie has one (although I cannot compare mine to your fine collection overall!)
