G.A.tor Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I've chased or put together the Pre-Boy Tecs a few times, and the 34 and 36 were always the first ones I would find. hello all.. and you know what is weird, I cannot find an unrestored tec 36 anywhere?....none on clink, metro has 2 restored ones, auctioning a restored one, I own a restored one, so I would say the 36 is the 3rd toughest (at least for me) unrestored tec (next to 28 and 29) to find out of all of them from 28-53...sign of the times? rick Must be. As you know I just sold an unrestored 34. Perhaps collectors are hanging onto their 36's right now. hello all... yes, I know, would have LOVED to of bought it, but I was a little late to the party ... now someone pony up with an unrestored 36 for me! rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiverbones Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Thats a tough call, for real, but I' have to go with AF15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrin_Radd Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Not a tough call at all for me... AF #15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
action1kid Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Thats a tuff one. The Allentown Tec 38 is the best exsisting copy and the White mountain AF15 is not the best copy. Both are very popular characters. Neither is a rare book in any condition[yes in 9.4 they are] Im a Batman collector So Ill take the Allentown.

action1kid Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 You really think the white mountain copy is a true 9.4 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filter81 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I would take the 'Tec 38. I could be wrong, but I bet there are more AF 15s in 9.4 and better out there waiting to be discovered. I would be surprised if there are many, if any, 9.4 or better 'Tec 38s left out there. I think the 'Tec 38 is probably considerably rarer in grade.

FFB Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 If it were a different CGC 9.4 copy of AF#15, I'd say it's a no-brainer for AF#15. But the White Mountain copy of AF#15 is one of the softest 9.4s I've ever seen. I'd still probably go with the AF#15, but it's much closer with the WM copy.

showcase4 Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 I very much respect everyones opinion here, and realize this is a GA forum....but I am shocked at the number of members who choose the 1st appearance of Robin over the 1st appearance of Spider-Man in a smilialr grade....I don't care if the Tec 38 is the highest graded copy, and this AF15 is not......Robin could not carry Spider-Man's jock strap. Any NM 9.4 AF15 should trump even a 9.6 Tec 38 ---hypethetically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
action1kid Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Well Ill answer for myself. Im a Batman collector so..... Spiderman is more popular. But from a collecting standpoint a 9.4 Detective 38 is tuffer to find that a 9.4 AF15[in my opinion] I think the white mountain is a tad over graded. I do believe The Allentown copy is as good as it gets.I think there are a few copies better than the white mountain. I think the Allentoen TEC 38 IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME SHOT that I missed out on.I do not believe a 9.4 AF15 is a once in a lifetime shot.There will be more opportunities. My Batman collection is not complete with out Robin. These are my reasons. No universal laws here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
