I guess we will find out a little something something about how Covid is affecting sales when the Clink hammer comes down in 5 days. It sold for more as a CBCS 2.5 copy, same year https://www.comicconnect.com/item/758997 Almost $4K more or as I imagine what they would refer to in this marketplace as the value or the hidden advantage of the CBCS label. Definitely doesn't present very nice relative to its assigned CGC grade and possibly one of the main reasons why this copy here wasn't able to acheive its condition guide price on the last 2 go rounds as a CGC graded copy. Especially when previous copies have always sold for multiples of condition guide a few years ago, and then at a healthy premium to guide over the recent past as Overstreet is apparently slowly catching up to the marketplace on this particular book. On its third go round here this time, looks like it sold for even less on CL at only $12,916. If I was the money losing consignor here, I probably would have gone with CC because they seem to be the market maker out of all the auction houses when it comes to the pre-Robin 'Tec books. Now, if it was a highest graded copy for anything else, I would have no problem with CL since they seem to be the preferred venue of choice for the CGC label chasers.

Definitely NOT as transparent as you may think and hope since as we all know, the CGC unrestored blue Universal label is actually already hiding a lot of books that have been artificially manipulated into higher grades.

Yeah no one can stop that. But if it’s still restored I would like it be clear cut restored purple label. Not some blue label that describes the the restoration in small print Gotham Kid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D84 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 They should have a label for pressed books. Oh wait, that might put them out of business. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne-Tec Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 Where does Tec #33 stand today in terms of FMV when compared to 29, 31 and 35? Say blue label 2.0’s with equal eye appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of the grade, my thinking is that a 'Tec 33 would be valued lower than both the 'Tec 31 and 'Tec 29 in that order, but still higher up on the chart than a 'Tec 35.
