You gotta love ebay sellers The 36 1.5 on eBay was spiked up to 11.5K late last night but is now down to 9K this morning. The CC 36 closed at 10.

Given the CC Tec 29 price, you definitely made the right decision to jump on that Tec 29 when you did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Knight Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I wasn't surprised at all about the sale of the Tec 1. A classic cover and well-deserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it had eye appeal better than the grade suggested +1 Most definitely, and that is why I thought it probably deserved to do a little bit better since all 3 of them had superior eye appeal relative to their grade. Especially since the other 2 Detecives basically blew the roof right off the building by selling for double the record price per points that their previous copies had just sold for, only a few short months ago.

One of my all-time favorite comic books +1 I guess the simple fact this is one of our favorite books really goes to show how long we've both been collecting. Absolutely loved this book and I still remembered thinking this would be the last book that I would ever sell from my collection. And yet it turned out to be the first book that I sold from my personal collection, and I still miss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was it's last stop: http://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?id=1128265 Glad to see consignor is still being modest in his flip. That is roughly the same price SparkleCity offered it here for when they first brought it slabbed to market, the same price they sold it on ebay (as no sale here) for and the same price it sold last year on ComicLink for. All this over the last 3-4 years. Nice book but that bottom piece out will detract from a 50K sale. We'll see ...
