G.A.tor Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 10K was my top on the 29. The 31 i thought was to high for the grade. The 35 was the best. I really thought the 35 would sell with nothing left on the table. Was wrong. Think a swamp man bought that book? a Maryland man bought the 35. Not sure if he is on the boards or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woowoo Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 10K was my top on the 29. The 31 i thought was to high for the grade. The 35 was the best. I really thought the 35 would sell with nothing left on the table. Was wrong. Think a swamp man bought that book? But that book could have issues not seen. It just really worried me. I know some of the pre hero books popped back up rather quickly and I wonder if that is because people didn't like what they got. I won the 37 with an angry bid, so we will see how it comes I guess. James G +1. If it was in my hand i might have gone more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluechip Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Forgot about these auctions 'cause I was at a reception concentrating on the free food. Looks to me like they all went pretty cheap except for the Tec 38. That went higher than I'd expect, which I attribute solely to the fact that I sold every copy I had for much less.

StingerMcK Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Yeah, a thread over we are trying to figure out what's going on with 38. I was high bidder for awhile, but then it took off in the last few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not Glenda Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) Yep the 29 still has some juice left & no question all 3 went on the lower end. However the 35 was by far the deal of the night as its a book that almost never slips by. Had the seller put it up on a BIN he would have gotten the right number at some point 15/20 range IMO. It presents well for the grade and is just such a wicked cool cover. I am always torn between it and #31 they are so different but both are really two of the best BM and Golden age covers of all time IMO but the splash page on 35 is just stunning & represents everything The Batman was before bird boy arrived.

Dark Knight Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Maybe the tape and the tape stains played a factor in the selling price of the book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotham Kid Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 The 29 was a 6.0 MP/EP so likely a 1.0 blue before resto. It closed at 11k. Inline with a ppp of a 1.0 blue. The 31 went for cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjeanius Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Any complete copy of 31 seems to be $20k+ at this point, so that was a great value. Even better if the glue can be removed and still pull a blue 1.0. Given the potential for paper loss, there is a very good chance it would come back a 0.5. Even so, you'd be hard-pressed to find a 0.5 for less than $15k, so seems like a free roll if the buyer sends it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoarder Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I agree. The seller was also resistant to posting more pictures. I would have gone after a few if I was more confident in what I was getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am not Glenda Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Iv, had some deals with the seller and he was top notch , just very busy, all books were post the next day or two, but he was a little slow on the emails. Over all a A+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought ppp for a TEC 29 was less (9K-10K). Maybe I was looking at sales with poor PQ. Has there been something recent other than the ebay copy that just sold?

RICKYBOBBY Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) Since I am a owner of a tec 29 my opinion might be considered a little biased but I think that the tec 29 is and should be at least if not more valuable then a tec 31. Few reasons why: 29 copies on the reg vs 44 for the tec 31 2nd cover of batman vs 3rd cover Both covers are iconic(I think 29 is better and I know lots of others do as well) If I see incomplete tec 31s go for 25k I would think a complete 29 should go for if not more but at least the same value. Tec 29 1.0 sold back in March of 2011 for 9800.. We saying it didn't grow for 4 years? Maybe the book doesn't move enough for it to really get its full value. just my 2 cents..
