Aman619 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Id think it would sell for more.. one of the highest graded copies... but no bats on cover is a heavy load. Gotham Kid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since 'Tec 28 is not only Bat's second overall appearance, but also a book that is considered by virtually all collectors in the know as being the rarest of all the pre-Robin 'Tec books. A ccheck of the CGC Population Census Report definitely confirms this as 'Tec 28 has far fewer copies graded and slabbed by a long shot as compared to any single other pre-Robin 'Tec books out there.

Popular Post Aman619 Posted September 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 19, 2020 It should eventually catch up! Action 2 was a Poor little puppy dog for a long time and suddenly took off. Tec 28s scarcity ought to kick in at some point. Larryw7, GreatCaesarsGhost, lou_fine and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but to offset that in paart, it's got one of those absolutely goregous early DC GA Guardineer classic cover images.

Gotham Kid Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) Total of 37 graded copies on census ( and likely 1 or 2 more should be removed, haven't dedicated much time to tracking them down ) Edited September 19, 2020 by Gotham Kid Larryw7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is then followed by all of the other pre-Robin 'Tec issues at pretty much double plus the census count of where Detective 28 came in at.

If you are comparing the Fred Guardineer 'Tec 30 cover image artwork to his 'Tec 28 cover artwork, it's really no contest from my own personal POV as I would definitely go for this one here in a flash: Larryw7, podboy66 and Chief1332 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larryw7 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I like the 28 better too, but I think it's because I know it's Batman second appearance. Nothing (except the first appearance) is better than that. lou_fine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing (except the first appearance) is better than that. Gee, and I guess that's why I also prefer 'Tec 29 over the much more highly acclaimed 'Tec 31, since it's his 3rd appearance over his 5th appearance.

bpc3qh Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I really like the cover to 30. Maybe not more than 29, but I think it's very cool nonetheless. 31 is less cool to me, but that's maybe because I'm tired of Batman 227 being so incredibly over-valued.
