Hi Gator,

 

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I couldn't find where you've posted it in the past, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to get your current opinion on the topic...

 

Can you compare both the current and projected FMV's (lets say 10 years from now) for Detective Comics #29 and Detective Comics #31?

 

-Low grade.

-Mid grade.

-High grade.

 

How many copies of each would you guesstimate to still be in existence?

 

The highest CGC-certified copy of Tec #29 is the Allentown 9.6 and the highest unrestored Tec #31 is an 8.0; how much do you estimate the Tec #29 9.6's current FMV to be today and how much would you estimate a Tec #31 would sell for if one existed in the exact same condition?

I consider tec 29 to me more valueable, grade for grade, than tec 31...that said, there is more apparent demand for 31, than 29 (which is a good thing, since there are more copies of 31 in the market than 29, so that kind of evens out)...

 

low grade tec 29 and 31 sell at comparable rates...as do mid grade ...high grade just don't "exist" with sales, so really no way to know... my guess is someone would easily pony up 500K for the allentown 29 if they so desired, and would pay the same for a 9.6 tec 31 if out there...I think in 7.0 both are worth about the same (there is a tec 29 in cgc 7.0 coming up for auction soon, so we will have some more empiracal data soon)...

 

long term, 10 years out, I suspect both will appreciate faster than inflation (thumbs u

 

Thanks for the feedback Rick. (thumbs u

 

Do you know where the 7.0 Tec #29 will be auctioned off (CC, CL, HA...)?

 

Also, how many copies of both Tec #29 and Tec #31 would you estimate to still be in existence?

 

150-250?

 

I've heard that Tec #29's are harder to come by than Tec #27's, has that been the case in your experience?

heritage as jeff pointed out...

 

my guess is there are several hundred tec 29's and maybe 2x that many tec 31's

 

I have owned 12 copies of tec 29 and over 25 copies of tec 31 just in the last 7 years, so that gives a good sampling...figure no way I have owned 5% of all the copies, so that is where my minimal est comes from

 

"several" hundred Tec #29's as in 200, 300, 400? (shrug)

 

And Tec #31 would be about (and I know this is just a guesstimate) double that?

Let me try another angle on this one, since nobody other than God (not even Gator :o ) knows everything;

 

Dear Gator,

 

Is there anything you don't know about Golden Age comics?

 

Again, I'll answer for my buddy Gator since he is busy. Artist and story information aren't his strong suit either

 

Interesting. Who is the board guru(s) for artist and story information?

 

Scrooge,AdamStrange, Bangzoom

Taught them everything they I know :headbang:

I had 5 minutes to spare.

 

lol

for a 1.5, this has great presentation IMO. Colors are tough to get bright on a Cap 1, and this one has it. Not sure what the BC looks like but a nice 1.5 :applause:

That's owned by a board member. The back cover isn't so bad for a 1.5.
