Dark Knight 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 Yep, an unrestored tec 36 has also been on my wantlist and I emailed Vincent about it. I even called Vincent up concerning the VG/FN Tec 36 for $3000 which was on the website for yeah about 4 months and asked him again if it was restored, and he said it has been cleaned. Unless yea there was another tec 36 that didn't make it to the site. Very interesting.. But if Steve is talking about another Tec 36 that wasn't on the site, then did someone else buy the VG/FN restored copy for $3k? Because its not on the site anymore.

coolJ Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 DAMMIT- who snatched the 37 from metro- I was about to move on it!!! they snatched the UNRESTORED 5.0 #36 I was thinking about as well hello all... metro did not have an unrestored 5.0 #36 on their site yesterday?...Vin told me that the cover had been cleaned on that book ( the $3K copy)...otherwise, I would have had it long ago since I completed the tecs, I had not been hitting the detective part of the site daily, recently...was the 37 the $5900 copy?...that one looked pretty good, but it had been on their site since last year? or was this a new copy? rick ok, so now I'm confused, I remember they had 3 copies of Tec #36, one 8.5 cvr cleaned for $7,390, (still on their site) one 8.0 ct/cvr cleaned for $2,000 (still on their site) and the 5.0 for $3,000, which is the one that is gone now, was this book restored ?? the listing didn't say anything about resto. Yeah, I called Vin too about the 5.0 tec 36 and he told me too that there is a high possibility that it was cleaned/restored. If it were unrestored, either myself or Rick would have picked it up when it first came out. well, now I don't feel so bad about missing it,.. someone did buy it right ? hello all... we can assume so, since it is not listed on their site...don't feel bad, I had vin confirm the cover had been aqueously cleaned, if I remember correctly (but this was last year)...both brian and I had been looking at it...since an unrestored 36 is tops on my list (COOLJ, oh COOLJ...help a brother out!).... but, I used to see a ton of 36's, so I am sure some will pop up sooner or later! rick I was wondering why one of you Tec guys hadn't snatched that one up, , now I know. Yep.. We are pretty much on top of things on Metro's Tec books. Rick, what condition is COOLJ's tec 36? Has he posted a pic on here yet? Thanks.

G.A.tor Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 You are thinking of the high grade #36 which has a cleaned cover. The VG/F does NOT have a cleaned cover. 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 ok, since this was 4 months ago, I just re-read the email exchanges....first answer to my initial inquiry on the book: he (V) said he thought that the book had some work done to it, he thought it might have been cleaned (likely working from memory)...in my follow up email, I asked him if he could confirm what was done, and he did say it had color touch....so, my "bad"... but I still consider color touch restoration, so in the end, the color of the label cgc would give it is irrelevant, it is restored (albeit extremely minorly from S description)... I feel better now...I apologize for incorrectly making the erroneous statement as to what work was done...sometimes just too many books, and not enough brain cells left... rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolJ Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Not really; I'm trying to put together a run too! (mine will stop at 37 though).

J...I have an Adv 40 on the way in 2.0/2.5 ....my MF 60 is only a 3.0 , but I am working on getting a 6.0 raw from a friend...but, like J, he wants something in return to part with the MF 60, which I have no leads on, so it is all getting to complicated for me! rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice pickup as I have almost picked it up, but I decided to go for a 31. I think we made some good decisions there. Darnit, so you're also looking for a mid-grade copy of tec 36!?! I don't want to go up against you again. Hopefully there would be at least 2 that will come up sometime soon. I thought that you were looking for any grade, even a higher graded unrestored. Besides, I'm also looking for a mid-grade unrestored 37, which I know you have a Tec 37 already..

Primetime Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 DAMMIT- who snatched the 37 from metro- I was about to move on it!!! That's hilarious. I saw that book last night and thought to myself "decent price" and almost made an impulse buy. Seems to happen every other day lately. Yah, just like the Marvel 5 swipe!
