campued1010 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Anyone have any new Pre-Robin Tec news to share? My 28-37 run. Not the greatest picture, but the only one I have before being tucked away. This is the type of thing that makes me miss the days when this thread was more active. What a fantastic group-shot. (thumbs u Any stories behind the "why" and "how" you landed all of those? All these books have either been owned by George(1KOKO) or Rick(G.A tor). The first book I bought was the TEC 33. George had it in the forum sales, I debated, pondered and pulled the trigger. It was nearly not meant to be, I had just purchased a Mac and had the Caps on. When I emailed George I presented an offer earlier and was asking if we had a deal, the second pm was all in CAPS.... it really came across as I was yelling or demanding, George responded as expected. I looked back and sent an email explaining it was not my intention, and if he took it that way I apologized. George being the nice guy he is, brushed it off and we came to a deal. I was lucky to close a real estate deal during the year and as well receive commisions from my job. As I already contribute to my RRSP savings and watched the market collapse, I decided to take stab at the run. As mentioned all these books came from Rick and George, and they are awesome to work with. The allow time payments and are willing to work with you. With our Canadian dollar close to par with the US$ and with these books being offered to me, I couldn't say no. Having an awesome wife always helps as well. The only book that gave me stress in acquiring was the 28. It's an incredibly hard book to acquire unrestored. I know of a beautiful 5.5, but it was out of my price range at the time. A 3.5 came to auction on comic connect, I thought I had this book won, and was ready to celebrate when a snipe bid came in and extended the auction. 20 minutes later and several bid increments more the book was finally mine. I asked both Rick and George what they thought the going price would be,,,,,, both were dead on. If I find out they were the underbidder... well let's not go there Lastly, we have the grail of grails imo. TEC 27. Rick had one in SDCC 2009 and if not for a medical mishap, I'm convinced I had a good shot at landing it, probably would only have the 27 and 33 but I'm happy with this run. I just need to add a mid to high grade restored book at a reasonable price if that exists. And to conclude this is what makes collecting comics so great from Archies, to tranformers to GA... the thrill of the hunt and the overwhelming feeling of triumph when the run or series is complete.

I still would choose 29 , 35, 31 in that order. The 33 comes 4th for me but still special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
