G.A.tor Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Pehaps this could be true but for some strange reason I have had the same type of luck as primetime. More 37s came my way than 36s. if only that were more "31s coming your way than 29s" I have had 5 tec 31's come my way in the last few months and only 2 tec 29's... I think I've mentioned this to you before, but when I was putting the run together for the first time in the early 1990's, and attending EVERY convention worth going to, every year for a decade, this is what I observed in terms of most commonly found for sale. List is ordered most common to least common: 34 36 37 30 32 35 27 31 33 29 28 The 33 was the most elusive for me back in those days, but the bottom three I would go a year or two without seeing a single copy at a show and if you recall, about 2-3 years ago, there was like 15 copies of 33 available...market has finally absorbed many of them... but it was the "scarceness" of 33 that drove the price up so much that 33 starting coming out to capture the $momentum Rick, what do you project market prices will be when comparing 29s, 31s, and 33s in the next 10 years? Do you see the 33 stabilizing and the 29 and 31 passing it? without a doubt 29 and 31 will/need to catch up and pass 33 in the guide, though they have long passed them in real world value already... 33 was always "important" due to the origin...but in the cgc world of today, covers tend to get more attention than content...so, my "gut" is that 33 will fall behind 35 in the guide (as it is already behind it in price) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.A.tor Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 a 5.0 copy of tec 31 is approx a $23K book today a 5.0 copy of tec 29 is approx a $22K book today a 5.0 copy of tec 35 is approx a $20K book today a 5.0 copy of tec 33 is approx a $18K book today now there are all kind of variables, like structure, presentation, what defects are visible, pq, etc...so, not all 5.0's are created equal... but, that is about what I have seen in the market over the last few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope 33 plummets like a meteorite I respect 33 for it being the origin but the Batman adventure following it in 33 is for sure not my favorite. I like 29 and 31 much more because the stories are better and they are earlier Batman!! i have never liked the 33 Bat story too much either...

G.A.tor Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 OK, humor me. What would a 1.0 #33 sell for these days? Any idea? $4-5K easy if it presents nicely for a 1.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
