"Grayson" looks to be a hit so a bump for Tec 38? 0

[gino2paulus2]

Looks like we have a new contender on eBay

 

10 Day auction, currently up to $15,000 (after 42 bids) with 7 days to go.

 

 

 

$35k final?

 

Wow, what makes you think this book is going to go for almost 4X condition guide, or am I missing something here?

 

After all, this is only the introduction of the much laughed about Robin, not 'Tec 31 which we are talking about here.

 

The 3.5 that sold on GPA had better PQ OW-W and hammered well below 35K. I say 26K for this copy MAX with the winner being William Leach

 

Don't be upset though Red ol pal...my prediction is the book will sell here then show up on CCs site in a few months with a Sticker price of.....you guessed it...35K

Last GPA on a 3.5 was $26k. Maybe a couple people get frisky and it jumps up to 35. No whammies! No whammies!

You're right. This book is far far more important than Tec 31. Although with a pretty goofy cover.

Light Tan to Off-White Pages? Has that replaced Cream to Off-White Pages?

[Mutie Fan]

No, its a step down from CROW.

[Jaydogrules]

Throw the so-called "PQ" on the label out the window on a key of this caliber.

 

People don't care. They just want the book.

They didn't even bother to post a back cover scan on that eBay auction. That's a must for low grade books.

Now I see. I was looking on the mobile app and there's only one picture in the pictures section. Once I clicked on Description I saw the additional pictures.

33 minutes left. Where will it end?

Hammer falls at $22,422

Looks like it came in a bit below the last GPA recorded sale of $26K, but well below the wish for price of $35K. The PQ might have hurt the final price on this book, but hard to say.

A 15%+ hit just for the "PQ" on the label on a grail? That's a stretch. That price is below the 3.0 that just last sold as well.

 

That's just a soft result for the book, plain and simple. Either demand is softening with so many copies coming to market at once or someone got bamboozled when they paid $26k+ for that other 3.5 a couple months ago.

I also noticed the item description called it a 3.0 even though the picture of the slab is of a 3.5.

 

Given that many auction results have looked soft of late I'm inclined to go with the former. But there might be a touch of the latter in there as well. Either way it's all just speculation.

Was the $26K+ sale and the last 3.0 sale also done through eBay or through one of the comic book website?

 

Oh, I know what's the cause of this drop..........it's that CGC label! If it was a 3.5 from the other distinguished company, it would have hit $26K without any problems at all.

[Red84]

I think it's also noteworthy that there is a name written on the cover. That's a big no-no for some collectors.

Not for the true diehard fans of William Leach.

And another copy currently on HA:

 

Detective Comics #38 CBCS Restored FN/VF 7.0 Moderate (A) Off-white pages.

 

"Amateur Restoration Includes: color touch on cover, pieces added to cover, cover & centerfold reinforced, spine split sealed, tear seals, cover cleaned. Bottom of cover & right edge trimmed."

 

Currently at $2,600 with 17 days remaining.

One small correction: The 2 1.5s were already listed on eBay. At their asking prices, the books will stay there for the longest.

 

Also, it closed at what I expected it would. ~6k/point book.

 

And finally, the Tan to OW likely will become C/OW if regraded given it was graded yesteryear. I wouldn't be surprised at a resub.

[Gotham Kid]

In addition to the 2 1.5s, there's the HA copy and the CC 6.0 MP coming up.
