G.A.tor Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Whoa. Incredible indeed. Incredible book coming up in the November CL auction... Should bring 25 grand or more! Rarer than the Tec'140! i doubt tec 142 is rarer than 140....perception only...it is offered for sale in the public eye less than 140 due to the value difference (and thus far less copies are slabbed, again due to the value to fee ratio)...but at cons and such, I actually see more 142's than 140's, so not rarer, but very rare in 9.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevenrams Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) I almost never see the 142 at cons that I attend, but again I just attend Comic-Con in SD and local cons here in SoCal, but in San Diego I always see Detective 140s in many different grades. I just never--and I mean never--see the 142 in any grade. But that's just my limited perception. Maybe there's more copies Back East and in the Midwest. SLR PS--It's akin to Detective 225 and 226. I always see 225s at cons, but I very rarely see a nice 226. Edited September 23, 2011 by Stevenrams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always see 225s at cons, but I very rarely see a nice 226. again, has to do with value and demand...tec 140 has greater demand and greater value and thus is showcased more than 142...but this past year at sdcc (since you mentioned it) I counted 4 tec 140's for sale and there were no less than 7 tec 142's for sale (mostly in boxes)...I bought 2 of the tec 142's , but passed on most others I saw...you generally do have to dig for 142's, I have found, though most "major" dealers will put up on a wall... same with tec 226...there are just as many out there, but far less demand means far less sales and far less "visual" availability....as mentioned, it is a "relative" thing, but in terms of straight numbers, both 142 and 226 exist in equal to or great quantities than their more highly sought out counterparts, imo...you just have to hunt a little harder for them (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously that's not an all-encompassing indicator, but I bet a few people have been waiting for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point Five Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Well boys and girls, we've got a true entry level Tec 35 coming to auction. a "nice" CGC 1.0 with Slight P, this will be fun to watch. http://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?back=%2FAuctions%2Fsearch.asp%3Fwhere%3Dauctions%26title%3Ddetective%2Bcomics%2B35%26x%3D0%26y%3D0%26ItemType%3DCB%23Item_898570&id=898570 What is going on this year?? Last year we only saw one Tec 35 offered publicly on auction. And this year, this is #6 to come to the market on auction! #6 or not, it's still going to go for a fat premium. Presents nicely and gets the job done, so yeah, it'll be interesting to see where the hammer lands at the end. Ends tomorrow night... it's up to $2,952 right now. Final bid $3,356.

Hibou Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 That's awesome and congrats! I saw that book a couple months ago in the preview and thought that it might go for a couple thousand... that's how much I know! So instead I went for something more in my price range and FINALLY picked up a nice looking copy of this book (I don't mind the resto)... One of my favorite Robinson Tec covers!
