Norrin_Radd Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 guide is 1.5K plus. My guess is 3k for it maybe more Cripes! That much? I hoping around 2k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durden08 Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 guide is 1.5K plus. My guess is 3k for it maybe more The last copy of TEC 35 Heritage sold was a CGC 2.5 but it has tape all along the spine (otherwise a clean copy though) I think it sold for around $2,500. So, I'm thinking maybe $3,400 for the 3.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman_fan Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 I agree, certainly a lot more than guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durden08 Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 I agree, certainly a lot more than guide. Whoa, I just double checked the Heritage archives for the Tec 35, and I shortchanged the selling price. The CGC 2.5 with tape sold for $3,450 in Feb 05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These don't come up often enough to rely on Overstreet. Plus, all you need it two bidders deciding they have to have a copy and away you go.

That's right and don't forget about the 19.5% juice going to Heritage as well. I will stick with my beat up coverless copy! [/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedarkknight Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Here's one of my favorites. I'm surprised that it didn't show up yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 This just arrived yesterday. It isn't anything to write home about, as it's just a beat front cover only. But it's my first stab at Golden Age Detective, and I like seeing it in hand. Now, does anyone have a coverless copy, or a back cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point Five Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Hope you can find that coverless copy, Rob! Tec #39 was a grail of mine for some time, and is one of the few early DC grails I've actually achieved...will post it here sometime. I love the cover (great color scheme & perspective, plus Batman knocking the guy off the building!) and the story is very cool too...2nd Robin, but they take on an "Oriental hatchet gang" and the story definitely has that ominous pre-Robin mood to it. Nice pickup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timulty Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Yeah, I was going to say, it definitely has that "New Book" appeal. That's first appearance of Riddler, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ft88 Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 10K if unrestored and no back cover issues - just a guess. One of the best villain 1st appearance issues, if not the best. Batman and Spiderman are known for having the best villians. But this puts ASM 14 to shame. Since the Joker Luthor Magneto Loki and Red Skull are very early issues you don't get the same singularity there. Doc Ock?, Penguin? Mxytpytzik? Not in the same league. TEC 140 - top ten grail. BTW wheres the 142? A much better Riddler cover IMO. Less common, more likely unrestored and a better value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Detective # 140 was cleaned and pressed with a few small tear seals to the front cover by Susan Cicconi about 10 years ago. My guess the grade of the book before restoration was a GD+. She simply did an amazing job! Here are my unrestored copies. [/img] [/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you can purchase it so you can have a cover for your copy. I bet you can't even tell where the piece was added to the front cover Here's the scan...

That book has too many large pieces added with bad artwork resto to justify the reserve listing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedarkknight Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I agree. It looks more like it as restored by a 10 year old. Why does his man have chest hair? Did they look at a picture of the cover while doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
