A new addition to my low grade Pre-Robin (and Tec 38) Run! Won this guy on eBay for what I consider a steal price. Originally I was only out to complete a Pre-Robin run, but this one was so nice and considerably cheap (My winning bid was 1/2 of my max bid lol ) - I said why not I'll take a Tec 38!

 

CGC NG (coverless) Restored (Centerfold is trimmed on 1 edge)

Thanks everyone for the kind words! Very thrilled to have picked the 35 and 38 up. :banana:

 

Been dreaming of a 35 and 38 for as long as I can remember. :cloud9:

 

I pulled out my Tec 38 reprint from the 90's and it hit me I had finally landed a real one. :acclaim:

 

My lower grade Tec Pre-Robin run has been growing, a feat I never thought would happen. As a teen never thought I would own even one.

 

 

Still can't hold a candle to DarkKnights unbelievable collection of Pre-Robins though. :shy:

 

 

 

 

Also - Jon (PointFive) is searching for a lower grade Tec 35 - let's all keep our eyes out for him! I've been keeping my eyes peeled for you man! ;)

Ya me too i need one, and if someone finds one i need 10K to buy it also. Is that too much to ask for?

Back in February I was watching the Philip Wiess auction of Eldon Dedini Detective Comics with great interest. It is a fair assumption that Heritage bought #1 and #2.

 

PW price:

#1 $28250

#2 $19210

Let's assume a private collector purchased the DC#2 on-line or via telephone at the PW auction for $19210. I don't know how the HA auction price of $26290 gets reduced down to a net check to the seller of the PW item. Using 20% as a guide, that comes to $21032. That's a lot of risk put on the table for a very marginal return. Then again, assuming HA purchased the Dedini collection, they made a nice 30% return in a few months time in a tight market.

HA also has the Action Comics #19 from the collection being offered in the August Auction.

Congratulations Matt!

 

That book is beautiful and a true sight to behold.

 

Even though I know it's restored, it's just amazing to look at a book like that and see how well preserved it has become after 70 years.
