Tec 37 for AS 2 trade

[Primetime]

Hello All. This is my first post. I wanted to get some opinions on a swap I did a few months ago. I traded a CGC 5.5 All Select 2 (GREAT cover) for a Tec 37 in 6.0 with moderate(P) resto. I think it was a fair trade. I had owned the AS2 for many years, but this was my first chance at a Pre-Robin Tec. Thanks.

BTW, the AS2 was graded about 7 years ago when CGC was a little looser on their grading. They gave it a 5.5 at the time, but I am sure if it was re-submitted it would get a 5.0 at best.

You got a tougher book and a cooler book. Financially I'd say the AS probably has the edge (moderate resto pushes the 'Tec down too much in a resale situation), but in straight up trades it's hard to hit the value perfectly. I'd make the same trade you did all day long.

 

Post a scan!

thanks! yeah, the Tec is much scarcer plus I had two copies of AS2, so I thought what the heck!

Most, by a slim margin, feel early grading (old label) books were graded tougher. This is my opinion based on those CGC GA books I have seen, which of course represent but a minute fraction of books graded to date.

OK, everybody post their Tec 37 for the new guy until he opens a photobucket account. Seems like everybody has one.

Use the line they mark as "URL Link" to put between your image tags, like this:

cool. thanks Centaurman...the link worked, but how do you load the scan so that the image appears in the text box?

 

BTW, I think the chips on the lower right bring the grade down. I don't think CGC would call this a 5.5 today...maybe I'm wrong...
