Mutie Fan Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Tec 27 all day. Batman is just closer to my heart I guess. Plus I think it has a better cover. Good pairing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciorac Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 well alright, this is a good one... the MF 52 is rare as heck unrestored, but I still go with a mod restored tec 27...just can't kill my namesake Normally I would take the Tec 27 in a heartbeat, but since the focus of my collection is mid grade key GA, I am forced to choose the more fun.....

Miraclo Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I think I would have to go with the MF, being unrestored and above a 5.0. That is a rare find indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjpb Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Tough - from an investment standpoint I'd have to pick the Tec #27 - but if I were actually buying books in that price range for my collection I'd take the MF 52 - as I'd rather own it than the Tec.
