Gotham Kid Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) Hello @rsouxlja7 for a 29 restored I don't think you will pay less than 4-5K a point. Of course overall look, PQ, extent of resto, etc will be factors but that is the ballpark that I would expect today. There is a 3.0(R) copy that will go to auction in 2 weeks (ComicLink) Notwithstanding the issues on the cover I don't expect the book to sell for less than 15K. For a Universal copy be prepared to go anywhere from 17-20K+ a point. Higher if the entry level copy has great eye appeal for assigned grade. The last Universal copy that sold at auction (Dec 2019) had exceptional eye appeal and went for more than the 20K/point. 5.0@107K Edited February 3, 2020 by Gotham Kid rsouxlja7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsouxlja7 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Thanks, hoping to pick up a 29 this year. The 27 is a pipe dream but you never know.... What do you think a mod/ext restored 27 would go for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GreatCaesarsGhost Posted April 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2020 I haven’t read thru the string, so forgive me if this has already been posted. One thing about this quarantine is it’s giving me time to drag things out that I hadn’t seen in awhile. this is from 1992. I can post the rest if there’s anyone on this string who hasn’t seen it waaaghboss, Gotham Kid, Dark Knight and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CBM's and OSPG had all the inside information that was appreciated at that time. Now it's all about what color that label is and what information is on/not on it.

Things were simpler back then. I had a Tec 31 and 33 then, but at the time they weren’t held in the same regard they are today. and how do you like that Scarcity Index? Really, when it came to our estimates of surviving copies back then, our methods now seem quaint. We were all just stumbling thru the fog with flashlights Edited April 11, 2020 by GreatCaesarsGhost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were all just stumbling thru the fog with flashlights I remember the 33 (Origin) seemed to be more desired than the 31. Every book has it's time in the sun. The Gerber scarcity index seemed accurate with some books and really off on others. I still use it as a reference along with OSPG, the CGC census numbers, and my personal experience.

Especially in the case of 'Tec31 which finished right at the top of the pack in a survey of the top GA covers in a Heritage Auctions survey done back in 2016. Definitely different from the CBM survey done back in the mid-90's where I was the only respondent to have it in my list of Top 5 GA covers of all time.

Yes, it was in one of the CBM issues back in the day, either in the 20's or 30's. I remember Gary Carter actually sent me a copy of Jerry Weist's Comic Art Price Guide as the winner of the draw for the readers that sent in their Top 5 covers. waaaghboss, GreatCaesarsGhost and ThothAmon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tape all along the spine was the reason it sold cheap. This book is notorious in lower grades for having condition issues and all of the recent lower graded copies have had some issue - writing on the cover, tape all along the spine, archival tape...even the 3.0 coming up in CL has Lt. Tan pages and heavy tanning. I think a really sharp 2.0 would sell for high 20s similar to an AF #15 without chipping selling for a premium over one with chipping.
