Should collecting pedigreed comics be a collection?

Does collecting mis-matched pedigreed comics from mis-matched series make a collection? Would it be possible to get one of each?

I love to collect pedigreed comics that fit into the comic book series that I collect. It's so cool to spred out a series and see a White Mountain or Bethleham pedigree comic mixed in with the other unpedigreed slabs. I mean, how neat is it to have a Mile High Or "D" Copy pedigree book and to be able to think that Edgar Church or Davis Crippen held that book in his hands and then sit it aside and now it's owned by us. I get such an extra "POP" when I look at my Gold Key Star Trek collection and see my Star Trek #2, White Mountain pedigree copy. Over the past few years I've felt a real tug to buy more pedigree copies for those series even if I already own a nice unpedigreed copy of an issue. As I said before, I understand the want of owning a Church or Crippen comic or any other pedigree comic that fits into my colleted series, but as of late, I find myself wanting pedigreed comics from series I don't collect, And I don't know why. Why should I feel I need a Carson City pedigreed comic of Twinkle Comics when I don't even know the full story of the Carson City pedigree or had never heard of Twinkle Comics, but when one was offered on ebay I purchased it. As a little side note, when is Pedigree Comic Book (comicbookpedigree.com)ever going to publish that book on pedigrees that they've been talking about for 5 or 6 years now. I tell you, it's been so long ago that they said it was, coming out soon, that I've lost interest in it. Okay, back to my main point. I've found myself buying these random pedigree comics more and more and I keep telling myself not to, but I can never quite do it and then, there's a new pedigree comic I own. Looking at the CGC site they list about 50 diffirent pedigrees that they slab of which I have 14 and only 3 of them are not in the series that I collect. Now here's the problem. I've all but talked myself into trying to collect one comic from every pedigree that CGC slabs. Seeing that I already have 14 different pedigrees that would mean getting another 35 or so. There are even a few pedigrees that CGC hasn't put on thier list yet, Circle 8 for one. Hold on, what about some of the collections, like the Nicklas Cage collection, I'd want one of those too. This almost seems like to big a project to do as some of the pedigrees on the list I've never seen for sale, Hawkeye, Salida, or Twilight amoung others. Thanks for letting me vent about this as I try and come to a plan about what to do. Send me a email and let me know your thinkings on the subject. Best2u PS-a scan of a White Mountain I own.
