Primetime Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 A huge thank you to Ben for making this happen. I promise to give it a good home. Congrats! Is this the same copy on CL last year or a new one? no, this copy has been in private collections the past 6-7 years at least. A lot of 3.5s coming to market lately have looked similar Thanks, wow that's like five copies in the 3-3.5 range in the last 12 months. Lots of volume and support for the book. yep and 29s tougher than 31s but in last year more 29s have been available public and privately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrunkenhead Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Thanks for the kind words, gang. I'm very excited to have this book in hand. As some of you know, I sold off a Tec 29 last year because I bought it at roughly the same time as my other big-book purchase (tec 1) of 2012--and that made my wife a bit nervous. I'm very glad to have a replacement copy (and a very similar-looking replacement copy at that). It's in stronger hands this time 'round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoarder Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 By the way, I am a little (pleasantly) surprised that someone paid 1200 for the loose, trimmed, spiral bound tec 31 pages in the latest comiclink auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be they are playing the parts game and this was the last piece in the puzzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabcom Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 By the way, I am a little (pleasantly) surprised that someone paid 1200 for the loose, trimmed, spiral bound tec 31 pages in the latest comiclink auction. my bid of $667 was trumped with about 25 mins. to go. The action on the #31 kept the snipers away on the #35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bid on that, but I still think $1,200 was too much to pay for that in the condition it was in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrunkenhead Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I'd pay 1200 for a ratty version of just the cover, but not the trimmed interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illustrious Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I'd pay 1200 for a ratty version of just the cover, but not the trimmed interior. I'd probably pay that for a cover too, since that's really the main selling point of that specific issue. I'm really surprised though how #33 is dropping off the radar now with all the attention on #29's, #31's, and #35's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really surprised though how #33 is dropping off the radar now with all the attention on #29's, #31's, and #35's. 33 takes the back seat all the time. The origin just doesn't satisfy many unless you are a Batman completist. CGC has driven many to a "cover only" collecting spree--thus the 29-31-35 get all the glory. Even the 27 is a middle ground cover but its Bats first appearance so it gets a pass. I still think the 31 is the best cover. 29 second. 35 third (has the best splash page though). Respect to Ponsetti though who I know loves the 33 the full wingspan and pistol holster is still very cool. I predict the 33 will catch wind and make a rebound but I don't think it will ever pass FMV of the 29 or 31 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illustrious Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 CGC has driven many to a "cover only" collecting spree Well that makes sense when you mention it, I just remember when I was collecting in my younger days in the 90's it seemed like #33 was the book to have after #27.

Yep, but now the "2nd cover" chase has made stars out of Tec 29 and action 7. Good thing they are both awesome covers to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrunkenhead Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 That's why Action 1 is the perfect book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
