shrunkenhead Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 very nice appeal Tom! BTW, Tec 35 is dated January 1940, but I've seen arrival dates on a few covers for Dec 1939; as we know books were out 1-3 months prior to cover month Good point. (thumbs u Still, I have to have grandiose statements like "last Batman appearance of the 1930s" resonating in my head when making a four-figure buy.

Hoarder Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Thanks, there should be some clause so that boardies don't drive the price up against each other.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EJR Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Tec 69 is a very tough book to find especially in high grade. Sparkle City Comics sold a CGC 6.0 earlier this year for $2530! I think Eric Roberts owns the highest graded copy which is the CGC 9.6 San Francisco copy. EJR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bat-Hound Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I purchased this from Metropolis "raw" at a Chicago Con about 12 years ago or so. I think they graded it VF- and priced just below a grand at the time. I hesitated buying it on the Saturday but by Sunday afternoon it was still at the table for me to purchase it. I inspected the book and agreed on the grade as well. Nice white pages with no folds inside but was concerned about possible color touch. Not because I could detect any but the blacks on the cover are stunning! Anyways off to CGC and came back 6.5,,close but expected at least a 7.0. I won't be parting with this one anytime soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bat-Hound Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 This book seems scarce in higher grade,only 3 higher from CGC census to date. The scan missed the full grade details, I can tell you it's a 8.0 with bright yellow with only a slight shadow upper right corner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
