Bat-Man Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I've been lazy about posting new purchases over the last couple of months but I will post this one: I was the underbidder, or one of them anyway! No worries, glad to see it found a good home. (thumbs u Awesome Thanks for letting me win. That auction felt like a sleeper hit, I was not expecting to win.

Larryw7 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I've been lazy about posting new purchases over the last couple of months but I will post this one: I never buy restored for my "vault" but I made an exception on this one. I purchased this as a placeholder, I sold my Tec 36 CGC 3.5 last year, but this one is so nice I may keep it as my "vault copy." Over the past year I've been trying to find another Tec 36 after I sold my last one but I could never find that special copy. All the ones that came to market were either heavily restored, or a slightly off color print (where Batman's eyes are blue), or the PQ was terrible. This copy, albeit restored, finally fell perfectly into my needs. I dont like resto but this one is slight (near spine where tape pull was on front and back cover it appears) and does not affect the Batman image. So I made an exception and to be honest the price was such a steal I am pretty happy! Man, I love those early 'Tecs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for those who did not play the game, but the success of the "Arkham" series cannot be denied, now an entirely new generation actually knows who this classic GA villain is. Your copy is sharp.
