not damaged as backside / all edges are same color.
tec means what on Bricklink is also called 'brittle blue'. It is basically
normal Blue, but changed in color by a degradation process. This is not necessarily
related to UV influence but is similar to the yellowing of white bricks.

Me too - I really like the color though. And in most cases the discoloring is
really uniform all over the piece, not patchy like the white discoloring. I wonder
if there's a chance to list this as a separate color so they can be traded?
I've considered building something in brittle blue, as I said, I think it's
pretty. Probably not, right?

I doubt it — it's not a completely consistent color, there's a whole
gradient from Bright Blue to the darkest Brittle Blue. And sometimes Bright Blue
still decays into Brittle Blue over time — I once built a blue Tardis with half
the parts being Brittle Blue and didn't even notice until I took it apart
years later, when the color difference was stark!
Sellers can always (and SHOULD) put it in the description of course.
