TEC 35 on ComicLink ?what's a fair price?

CGC blue 2.5 Tec 35 on Comiclink for $12K+

 

In this economy, for that book, what is a fair price?

[Bat-Man]

That's a board member's book. It was for sale here a few months ago.

 

As for fair price, $12,750 obo seems pretty fair. As the last Tec 35 at CGC 3.0 blue tier sold for $11,800 or so on a past Comic Link auction.

I am sure Rick will shine in with a good estimate....but I think $10k might be the "right" number.

Thanks for the comments. If ever a book was recession proof that would be one...

 

I am in the market, so I wanted some educated opinions on that book.

that is indeed my old copy...

if it is a boardies, and they will sell it direct for 11Kish, that is not a "bad" price for that copy...the book is much nicer than the 2.5 number (thumbs u

[Point Five]

Great colors!

Great colors!

 

 

With golden age I am all about the colors. Faded covers are almost as bad as resto for me. Dull covered 8.0's

So we can all enjoy.

That book too was my former copy. Bought it off ebay about 4-5 years ago. It's a great copy with great colors and presents much better than the grade assigned. The spine along the tape brought it down to a 2.5.. but what's funny is that I've seen a couple of books graded as a 4.0 and had its complete spine taped together

Sorry to go a bit off topic, but If anyone happens to have a copy Matt could use to help me create a first wrap please contact me. I will reward you for your troubles

I remember... I was wishy washy on the guys' 4500 asking price at the time...I think I must have eventually bought it from brian

[Yannis]

Honestly I don't think its even a 10k book. 9k would be my max offer. But that's me.

And you wonder why we call you poopie pants?

Guide is $2708, double guide is $5416. Are these books really getting almost 4 times Overstreet?

 

I want a blue chip book, but if I pay $9K, the upside looks pretty weak. Then again, from the comments here, this book was worth $4500 5 years ago. It may be that you just can't go wrong with this book...

 

Things to ponder...

[Yannis]

The market is strange on the 35. Sometimes it goes for 6x guide then other times for 5x. Its easier of course to get 6 or even 7x guide for say a very low grade restored copy.

[Yannis]

At the same time a tec 37 cgc 1.0 blue was listed for $2500. How do we put its value on this? A recent copy I had (from Roy) in the same grade I believe sold for slightly over 2k. The 1.8 copy I had over a year ago sold for $2800. Then yet another copy I had at 1.0 sold for $1400 months ago. The recent one I got I possibly (keeping it as possible for them moment since its still raw) paid Under Market value.

[Primetime]

unrestored low grade 35s have always been a 4x-5x book in my experience...now that the guide price is starting to climb, that multiple may drop a bit in the future.

[Wayne-Tec]

How long has Tec #35 been as red hot as it seems to have been over the past year or two?

 

Obviously the demand for Pre-Robin Tecs with Batman on the cover is always going to be very high, but it seems as though Tec #35 in particular has become THE hot book as of late.

 

I imagine Tec #31 and Tec #29 would still sell for more, it just seems like #35 is the "cool" issue that everyone wants to get their hands on.

 

I'm not sure how long it takes to establish a "trend", but I wonder if the demand (at least to this extent) for this book is something that is going to be ever-climbing or something that will cool down when the next book becomes the "chosen one" by the comic collecting community.

[Primetime]

with 27, 29, 31, and 33 being out of price range for most collectors, 35 has received a lot of attention the past 5 years. It has the best Bat-man splash page of all the Pre-Robins IMO and the cover is not bad either. Now, demand and FMV is pushing 35s out of reach of more and more collectors...soon, the 36 and 37 will likely follow, however, I don't think the prices will escalate as much.
