comicdonna Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I already posted this in the Golden Age cigar area but want to post it again with these other Detective beauties. I have never been so happy acquiring a comic, and it went directly from grail status to keeper status Wow, really cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RareHighGrade Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Tec 26 is a great book. Love that book. Hi, Peter. Jeff. Tec 26 is a great book. And thats probably the greatest copy There's actually one copy that is graded higher -- the Allentown copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor Odinson-1970 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Here's a few key Tec's of mine.... I figured that I better get at least these ones while I still can because all those pre-Robin Tec's in any decent blue-label grades are now out of my price range.

Thor Odinson-1970 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I just bought this one a few hours ago on eBay. I simply couldn't resist. Not as big a key as my other three, but still one special issue. This came from an original owner collection. Thanks Adam. Here's more of the eBay description: "This comic is part of a small but still very cool original owner collection. These books were purchased for the original owner by his parents while he was away fighting in WWII. He never got much into comics so when he returned home, these books were put away in the closet (many of them never read) where they sat untouched for almost 70 years until just last week!

Yannis Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I love Joker covers. Without doubt after the preRobins they are the best of the whole Detective run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEAUMONTS Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 It was submitted for grading appx. month and a half ago from the gentlemen I purchased it from. It received a VG 4.0 grade with "Slight (A)... small amount of glue on spine of cover" and a Off-White Page designation. Within appx. 5 minutes of receiving the Tec 35 we were in the nail biting process of freeing it from the slab. It looks so much nicer out of the slab, nice cover gloss and really fantastic paper. Being able to leaf through the pages of this classic was fantastic! The other reason for freeing it, was to turn it from a possible "commodity" to "keeper" status. I feel that anything in my collection end's up being "fair game" if it remains slabbed. This is honestly the pinnacle of my collecting thus far and I couldn't be happier. Especially thankful for my good friend who unselfishly made this come into fruition, it's not everyday that a regular Joe Schmoe collector like myself has this opportunity.
