rockman2008 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Indeed. Wayne-Tec is back in the pre-Robin club. He has a Tec 36 of which he will own and treasure. Look for it on eBay in 30 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne-Tec Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) Thanks guys. It was certainly a book that I didn't expect to see available -- you almost never do with unrestored Tec #36's. Edited August 19, 2012 by Wayne-Tec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrunkenhead Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 $14-$15k? That sounds about right to me, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campued1010 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 $14-$15k? That sounds about right to me, too. Just a FYI that book was on Clink for sale 2 days before it was removed and put in the auction. It had an asking of 17k and was bid up to 14.6k before it was removed and made it's way into the auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am actually glad its in auction since there is another book or two im interested in this very same auction. Decisions, decisions. I will probably bid up around the same amount if i dont win the other book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trory140 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Does anyone know the history on this? It was mentioned in another thread that this and the other early TECS may have had detached covers that were recently fixed with tape. Im not going to bid. There arent many of these and I dont want to own one with a scarlet letter attached to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJR Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Well according to CGC tape isn't considered restoration. I'd be happy just to get an affordable pre-Robin Tec and if the tape bothers some people than I'll have a better shot at getting an unrestored Pre-Robin Tec!

EJR If tape was used to improve the grade, is it really unrestored? there in lies the issue...can tape really improve a grade CGC says yes. Yup, but think most people would agree this practice should stop. See my proposed solution and poll in the "The BIGGEST problems in the hobby right now" thread in Comics General, on page 11 of that thread (under default posts per page settings). Here's a link to that thread: http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=5941522&fpart=11 If anyone has a better idea for a way that CGC could close this silly loop hole (that allows for higher grades by adding tape), in a fair way, given the precedent that they have set on this issue, I'd love to hear what you have to say in that thread, or here. I'm personally getting tired of seeing more and more books with detached covers get grade bumps after the cover is reattached with tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
