Auctions and thoughts

 

A few weeks ago or a week ago...I was trying to win an auction at HA.com for a tech69 at a 6.0. I was actually the highest bidder at around $1400. I thought I had the book when the Live part of the auction came around and I was busy with Family and I literally lost the book for someone who paid $50 more dollars. The book sold at double the overstreet price guide!

 

I have always wanted a copy of this book but it is pretty rare and apparently desirable by many collectors. I decided I would try for a raw copy then CGC it, but for years I passed up a few and others just didnt come around.

 

Last night I found one on ebay! (picture shown below) it was 3x times the overstreet price... So I emailed the seller and got them to take it down to a little over double the price guide. I was okay with it. This is literally my top 5 favorite golden age covers. My Detective comics collection is raw and not CGC, I will keep this book in its case. When I find a better copy I will crack this open so it can go along with all my other raw copies. (hopefully someday)

Great book! I have a decent lower grade copy myself and love the Detectives in this range -- great work by Robinson.
