Gotham Kid Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) Not the prettiest 4.0 for sure but it will surpass the 54K, but not by a huge margin. This one went cheap in comparison (Dec 2016) https://www.comicconnect.com/bookDetail.php?id=686230 Edited October 1, 2017 by Gotham Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely an overdue and much deserved increase on the book, especially since it had long been derided by the fans for the introduction of Robin and seen as the signal for the end of the much more highly sought after darker Bat-Man period as epitomized by the pre-Robin 'Tec books. So much so to the point whereby the Allentown copy of 'Tec 38 hit the auction block 3 times back in the previous decade, and seemingly going for less money every time it came out, and at only barely double what this much lower graded 3.0 copy sold for. As a result, definitely nice to see this book go up steadily over the past couple of years from something like $6K on a price per point (PPP) basis up to the $9K PPP prior to the March CC auction. Not sure if the March CC result at $54K or at $18K on a price per point basis is an outlier or the start of a new turning point for this book similar to the CGC 5.0 AF 15 sale at $57K in the same auction. Interesting to note that Blazing Bob's CGC 3.0 graded copy sold immediately at $36K or at $12K PPP mere hours after the March auction ended, after sitting unsold on his site for awhile. So, if this CGC 4.0 copy manages to get over $54K, it looks like the new support level for 'Tec 38 might just be at the $14K mark or thereabouts on a price per point basis which is a significant increase from where it was a couple of years ago.
