Yannis Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 My question to D33Kid is... Where is your Tec #33...or did the mice have a Christmas banquet and finished the leftovers? Or have I asked that one before? Seriously, what happened to your book...and why the name change? Lets just say that I am currently in the middle of a transaction, the details of which I will be happy to share on the boards the moment it is complete. What I can tell you is that I changed my display-name because I no longer own a copy of Detective Comics #33; and preferred to update my display-name to something a bit more generic to the Batman character while still retaining my love for GA Tecs. (thumbs u Now that you're selling the Tec 40 and going for a FF 1, you're not changing your name to FF1Kid, are you? I was going to suggest a new name...BaxterBuildingBastich...but I don't think he'll like that. I'm with Yannis on this one. The boy needs some serious intervention and maybe rehab for his Silver Age addictions. Perhaps something as stern as what happened to Christopher Moltisanti on the Sopranos. im keeping out of this I think he would go for the first two Bs but not the 3d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it end up selling (most likely not) it will be one of the best flip in history. It really is the prime example of a museum piece. And it would be! I would not argue (I would actually expect) an 8.0 33 to be worth in excess of 100K. But with the market bearing only bringing 74K on auction a month ago. I'd be hard pressed to see it sell for 2X only a month later. But it would be cool if it could! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t3quila Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) This is an older post about Lewis Wayne Gallery from an older thread Can anyone tell me the association of Lewis Wayne Gallery with Heritage? I was interested in a book they have on eBay but it is priced too high without a 'best offer' option. I was wondering how reputable they are. It's this restoration guy: Comic Art Restoration who runs the Lewis Wayne Gallery. Here's info dug from an older thread - Posted by EsquireComics: "Here is the response I received from Robert Dennis earlier today. The delay for posting was to receive his approval to disseminate it, which I now just received. Hello Mark, Lewis Wayne Gallery doesn't have anything to do with Heritage Auction Galleries beyond normal, good business relations and dealing with many of the same clients. Heritage does not own LWG or any part of it, and LWG has never offered a single comic book or piece of art while that item was owned by Heritage. The contact information initially used for lewiswaynegallery.com originated from Heritage while my family and I closed on a house near Dallas. I used to do freelance cataloging for Heritage, which is how I met Jim Halperin. Jim is one of Heritage's owners and also a major comics collector. As I didn't have an address or home phone number and really needed to get the business going, Jim said I could use Heritage contact information until we were settled in. I didn't think it would be a big deal until I was contacted about the CGC chat boards a few months ago. I changed the information then. While some of the people at Heritage have helped me greatly, I've made apersonal challenge for myself to see if LWG can sell certain pieces for more than Heritage. Business is business. I know that, for now, LWG isn't in the same league as Heritage. But I've shown that with a clean, easy to navigate eBay store layout, greater insight into the artists that produce the art, good service, and images that better reflect the actual color and texture of the pieces, we have been able to sell similar pieces for even more than they previously realized in a Heritage auction. I took on a similar challenge when CGC first started. CGC and others often pointed out the unscrupulous grading practices of certain comic dealers on eBay, and the price of unslabbed comics on eBay plummeted. Under my agraphicstateofmind eBay ID, I wrote an editorial about CGC and my experiences as a comic dealer, and then successfully sold three raw Silver and Bronze age comic collections over the next couple of years at an average of about 80% of Overstreet Guide, which is a lot higher than most other comic dealers were getting for raw comics.

Filter81 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Is there any chance that my old post can be taken out of this thread? Around the time of that post a certain owner of Metropolis comics used to call me up to tell me about "secrets" that needed to be shared with the hobby. The information he gave me was often half correct at best and I was a little too new at the time to know exactly what was going on. I reached a few conclusions on my own that weren't always correct either. That post has been hanging out there for a while but I'd really love to have an undo button on that one.

cheetah Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I'm relatively certain that the books bought by at least some Heritage personnel during auctions are what end up for sale Lewis Wayne Gallery. They used to be listed in the 'For Sale' section on Heritage but most seem to have been removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
