Bat-Man Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 This place is turning into a Tec 31 thread! Offhand, I didn't see if someone responded to the question I posted earlier but what is the market like on coverless copies of this book? I haven't seen any on eBay or any of the major dealer sites. Wasn't sure if any of you have seen sales on it or not. I am pretty sure someone said it would be around 3K for a coverless one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socratic Wonder Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Page 300 Nice addition! I think you need to sell me back that NA 30 to help pay for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Man Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Kind of make you wonder what's worth more: the coverless copy or the cover itself, you know? I'd almost think the cover, being one of THE definitive Batman covers, would fetch more than the actual complete interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd almost think the cover, being one of THE definitive Batman covers, would fetch more than the actual complete interior. I could really see that happening. It makes sense. If I had a coverless copy I would pay top dollar for the cover. For any coverless copy I own I would pay more for the cover than I did for the interior, as it would seem covers are harder to come by then interiors. I know a front cover only (no back cover attached) to Tec 35 sold for $1,500 a little while back on heritage. Lot a variables with "parts" especially for key issues.

That being the case, I find it really interest as well because a .5 PR copy of Batman runs about the same price. Now, if you remove the defining characteristic of the Tec 31's value (the cover), do you think it SHOULD be worth the same as a book the contains the first appearances of Batman's two most important villains?

No offense to 29, 33 (except the origin), and 35. All have great stories. But personally 31/32 has the best pre-robin story in my opinion. A two part story that ends with Batman shooting his enemies in cold blood to finish them off once and for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Knight Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Been saying this before and I'll say it again.. Det. #33 is soooo undervalued its ridiculous!?!? This issue contains Batman's origin retold,, How cool is that? It's like owning a mini Tec 27.. Same with Bat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with Bat 1 not sure it is undervalued...heck, it has been higher valued in the guide for 20+ years just for that reason the difference today is that books are encased in cgc holders, so the content seems to count for less, and the cover more...hence, 29 and 31 are now both passing 33 by Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen James Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I'd go with Bat 1 over the Tec 33, for some reason I've never been overly fond of the 33. Toughness wise goes to the 33 though. I would think Tec 38 would be a higher prioity, it's only Robin, I know, but then again it IS Robin. Not exactly a one hit wonder. Great 29 you got there!

Covers rule the day when we collect slabbed books. And for Tec 33 - I feel it should be on the same level as say 29 or 31 (or less) because yes it is the origin but heck the story following is the worst of the pre robins in my opinion.

The 31 would not be valued as it is today (or as coveted IMO) if it did not have that castle cover. I never really thought about it before in those terms. But I agree that the cover makes it. All the top Pre-Robins are based off which one has a Bats cover and even then the stars are 29 and 31 with 35 as the rising star. But luckily we do not have to wonder whether or not 31 would be what it is without the cover. Because lucky for us the 31 does have the defining Bat cover and an incredible story. Besides 27, 31 is hands down my 2nd most desired Tec of them all! (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
