Silver Surfer Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I was never a big fan of DC growing up but pre-Robin Tec’s are awesome. Gotham Kid and Primetime 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lou_fine Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Any bets these two pre-Robin 'Tec's would have gone for more money except bidders were holding some money back to nab this one here: https://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?back=%2FAUCTIONS%2FSEARCH.ASP%3FFocusedOnly%3D1%26where%3Dauctions%26title%3Dmarvel%2Bsuper%2Dheroes%2B18%26ItemType%3DCB%23Item_1707644&id=1707644&itemType=0 Sold for just a piddly $76K and who said the more recent comic book marketplace was crashing with still no stop in sight.

lou_fine Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Although not technically a pre-Robin 'Tec book which it clearly is not, I have always considered issues up to 'Tec 40 as part of the same grouping: https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/superhero/detective-comics-40-dc-1940-cgc-fr-gd-15-cream-to-off-white-pages/a/122341-13070.s Not sure if it's just me, but what is everybody else's thoughts here on this copy selling for $8,400 in yeaterday's HA Sunday auction as I thought it was a relatively strong result from my own personal POV, given the assigned grade of only CGC 1.5?

I thought about 6 to 7,000. To me the book is overpriced. Why it sells for more than #39 I do not know. Joker cover or not Tec 39 is a much prettier book.

Well, I imagine that Joker covers and first appearances/origins always tend to bring a premium in the comic book marketplace as compared to surrounding regular issues without these demand driven characeteristics. Especially when the 'Tec 40 is considered by most in the hobby to be the first Joker cover plus the storyline also features the first full appearance and origin of Clayface.

I wonder if that will hurt it . If it was just the front cover with a Blue PG label it might sell for more, and they would still have the back cover to sell seperately. Now that I think of it seems really odd. Cover only, back cover married. This deserves another emoji. Does that mean they are physically connected somehow? If the front and back covers are from 2 different books I guess they could also say the front cover is married as well. action1kid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detective Comics #27-37... *Your copy: how did you get it? *Where did you get it from? *Why did you get it? *What kind of condition is it in? *Stories behind the book. *Interested in picking up a copy? *Interested in picking up another copy? Pretty much anything that you can think of related to the Pre-Robin Tec run is fair game. (thumbs u If my new display name hasn't already given it away, allow me to be the first to share... http://i779.photobucket.com/albums/yy74/Detective33Kid/mine3.jpg Detective Comics #33: CGC .5 (Back cover missing; WHITE Pages) This was a book that I had wanted for many years. I learned long ago that Detective Comics #27 would be way out of my price-range and at this point, the same could be said of any copy of Batman #1 that isn't coverless. I was very fortunate that a fellow board-member, "Bat-Man", was willing to sell me his copy. It was a book that I had wanted ever since he first shared it with me and I feel very fortunate to now be able to call it my own. Obviously the book has been through a lot. It has some serious mouse-chew and the back-cover is missing. What I found amazing is that despite the obvious defects, what remains of the book is still in fantastic condition. White pages and the classic image of Batman on the front-cover is still 100% in-tact. If it were not for the defects, this book would have never been anywhere near my price-range and I'd have to settle for a higher graded copy of a much less significant issue. Detective Comics #33 has always been one of my personal favorites because I simply love the cover and feel that the story of Batman's origin is the most important Golden Age story ever told. And thus...I'm proud to call myself "Detective33Kid". Hi Detective33kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike Timely, DC gold from this time period almost always had matching inside BCs/outside BCs. This makes it easier to marry up missing parts. If one needed a BC to complete their Tec 27, a much cheaper alternative would be to find an incomplete Action 12 that has a BC. The outside BC has Dept 995 on both books. The inside BC is a house ad for AA 2 and Movie Comics 2. Edited October 26, 2023 by Primetime Yorick, SushiX, Gotham Kid and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
