I was contemplating getting at least one Pre-Robin, the way everyone has been drop-kickin' to get to these books lately, I started thinking that I'd better do it soon, of course the 29,31,33, and 35, are out of my league, so I thought maybe a 36 or 37. like I say it would be nice to have at least one pre-Robin Tec to round out my collection, but now, I guess I don't have to worry about it. oh well, back to the Action's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian it is the crippin 4.0 (might be 4.5, drawing a blank right now), search the heritage archives....I was going to bid/try to win it on heritage (I would have paid slightly more than it went for), but I got the nights confused, and missed it when heritage called for me for the phone bid (I wasn't home)...been trying to get coolj to part with it just about since... rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.A.tor Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I am under the impression we are specifically talking about the $3K vg/fn tec 36 that has been on the site for the past 4? months....that I was told was restored (I inquired about it the day it hit the site, brian and I exchangd emails on it, Vincent and I exchanged multiple emails on, and I left it at that), but that S. is saying wasn't restored?...if they had another 36 that didn't make it to the site, I would like to know about it (has been on my metro want list, for a while)... rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen that is not what Vin told me (and brian, I believe) via email...or I would have bought that copy moons ago....seems we have a breakdown somewhere? rick The book is not cleaned. Just looked at it a moment ago. The book has a microdot of ct at the bottom of the spine. Would make it into a blue holder with a note about the color touch. The label on the book mentions the tiny amount of color touch. I assume it mentioned it on the website. If Vin told you he thought it was cleaned, he was mistaken. I can tell it was not cleaned rather easily. S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
