jerome34 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Lots of entries here BUT most are "I like" or "I want this one to be higher than that one" rather than "expected value is:" The consensus seems to be 27, (29, 31), 35, 33, 36, 37. 29 seems to be slightly ahead of 31 or, if not now, is expected to pull ahead soon. 28 is so scarce it is a wild card. Would anyone knowledgeable guess? (above/below 35??) 30, 32, and 34 are the laggards (using Overstreet order).. Is this where we whine "Can't we just get along?"

Flash105 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Lets face it, they are all going to go up. The question is which one wins the race? agreed, I have yet to see any price pull back on Batman covered, pre robin Tecs...even the non bat covered tecs seem to be consistent, though not 100% in the upward direction... The second question is which race? Overstreet price guide: 33 wins other are catching up. FMV: No definitive answer posted here. FMV there is a definitive answer (well, kind of) grade for grade, Tec 29 and 31 sell almost neck and neck, followed by Tec 35, followed by tec 33, followed by 36 and then 37 (I left non bat covers out)... FMV conclusion would seem to point to 31 as probably "winning" the race, but 29 is almost interchangable at this point G.A.Tor: No definitive answer posted here. I personally like the combination of 2nd bat cover, and scarcity, to propel tec 29 over tec 31 to the finish line...so there is my definitive answer... I rank bat covers, value wise as : 27,29,31,35,33,36,37... (thumbs u GPA (and others): No definitive answer posted here. since many many of these books sell privately, GPA will never fully capture the market... I will be submitting a lot of sales of tec 27,29,31,33,35, 36 and 37 (as well as others) to GPA, and that will help clear the picture up...maybe I am fortunate to have a lot of sales info the public doesn't but, if you review gpa, tec 31 is the winner, followed by 29, then 35, then 33 Detective33kid: No definitive answer posted here. Others??? Imran has posted and echos my sentiment...I believe 1koko and Andre and Primetime and Ronaldo, etc are well qualified to comment (as having put the entire run together)... I think folks on the boards know that I have bought and sold more pre robin tecs than any active member of the boards (and no I don't count metro, heritage , clink , they have all sold more than me, but I don't consider them "active" posters like most of us) I think we can all agree that 33 is very important and that, at the present time, 29, 31, and (perhaps) 35 have "hot" covers. Will these overtake 33? If so when? And by how much? 31 is very cover driven, 29 is scarcity and cover driven, 35 is scarcity, cover AND what only primetime has pointed out, SPLASH page driven (the best bat splash page there is, imo)... now, that said, much like the 33's origin story, the 35 splash is only a factor as far as folks "know" it is there, but can't see it For someone who wants them all and has a budget, the choice of which one to go for is simple: which one is available at a price I can afford and which I consider to be reasonable? For years, the answer has been: none of the above. when I figure put my run together, you know the issue I bought first... tec 33...not because I thought it was the best or whatever (I do love it), but because it was the most readily available copy in the market (and still is today)... there is more supply at current prices than demand for 33, when compared to the other "3"... So if a man wanted to drop 10-12K on one of these, which one and at what grade? Blue/Purple? And the big question, is there one on the market that would even meet your qualifications.
