    This is an NH book from my own collection-- don't know why I find the pedigree thing so interesting, but I'd love to learn more about the origins of these NH books if anyone knows the story.

    Nice book! I love the "?" instead of month -- I think it makes it more interesting. I've always found western books to be appealing and I want to learn more but not too sure where to start.

    Anyone have any info on the new hampshire pedigree beyond what's in the very short blurb on CGC's site?

    Update: So I ended up getting in touch with Vincent Zurzolo from ComicConnect, & he verified that the book was from the Cage collection as it was submitted to them by Cage along with a decent amount of other remaining books from his collection (some with the "from the collection of cage" labels, some without) . Really impressed with how helpful ComicConnect was with all of this (especially considering I didn't even buy the book direct from them). That said, I was also able to get in touch with the head graders at CGC, and, unfortunately, they are no longer adding this designation to labels. Bit of a bummer, but oh well I guess I might just have to deal with the ugly old CGC case. Out of curiosity-- the certification # stays the same when you do a reholder, right? because I may still consider reholdering--as long as I can get a physical signed COA from ComicConnect of the Book's Cage connection to replace the current sticker. I really really don't like having the old cgc case next to all my newer ones . Thanks to everyone for your opinions/advice.

    He is attributed on the Sky girl story on the interior of March '49 Jumbo #121 though--- was it possible that he was freelancing at the time? What year/month did he fully leave Iger Shop? I suppose if he was freelancing for Fiction House on just the the interior sky girl story, that would make it quite a bit less likely that he did any of the work on the cover (which I think was packaged by iger shop), right? Does anyone know of a specific Sheena cover that is confirmed to be Baker?

    Interested to see if anyone knows of specific traits or identifiable features that could be used to identify likely cover artists on Fiction House books? It seems like a lot of these Jumbo Comics covers are unattributed on comics.org. I imagine it's near impossible to attribute these books now with confidence--just wondering if there are things to look for? I'm specifically hoping to identify the likely cover artist on Jumbo Comics 121 (1949). Did Matt Baker create/contribute to any of these Jumbo Comics Sheena covers? Or just the sky girl interior art? Thanks!

    Great answer! I agree that I think comic connect’s claim is pretty credible considering how involved they’ve in selling his books(& the amount of other cage books sold in same & other auctions—some with the cgc label designation and some without). I’ve held off on emailing CGC to see if I could get a response from CC-but none so far. I’m guessing CGC cust service will give me a canned response like “it would have to be reviewed in-house on a case-by-case basis” —which they told me about a separate NH pedigree Jumbo Comics book I recently picked up. @CGC Comics would you like to save me an email and reply here? I’m worried they would crack the old slab, throw it away, and not put nic cage collection on the new slab—effectively destroying my evidence. Tough decision ahead for sure. I’m not planning to sell for foreseeable future (it’s my first EC book), so I might just try to deal with the old cgc case for a while.

    Fingers crossed, Capra—I found the original sale from 2012 and included that in an email to their support team. https://www.comicconnect.com/item/461738#description I’m sure I’m giving way too much personal value to the Nicolas cage ‘pedigree’ (I know it isn’t technically).

    Hi Sean, that definitely occurred to me. I was considering sending it to a presser/cleaner because the rest of the book seems to be in great shape—but that just makes me even more nervous about the cage attribution since currently my only proof is a 10 year old comic connect sticker attached to the slab. But I do really hate the look of the old slab on my wall next to a bunch of newer ones I did end up finding the original CC sale from 2012 where I think the cage sticker was added—geez I wish I had only paid that much lol. https://www.comicconnect.com/item/461738#description Does anyone have experience with CGC honoring (or ignoring) comic connect attribution for other pedigrees? Should I peel off the comicconnecr sticker and submit the book with a photocopy? That way I’m not risking losing my only evidence. Thanks!

    Hi, I recently purchased a 7.0 cgc copy of Weird Science #11 that has a Comic Connect sticker attributing it to the Nicolas Cage's personal collection. I don't believe it comes with any additional paper work other than the sticker. It's in an older cgc slab which doesn't have the nicolas cage attribution on it. If I send this into cgc for a new slab, what are the odds that they'll give me the 'From the Collection of Nicolas Cage" attribution. Do i need to include any documents (maybe photocopy of the comic connect sticker)? Is there any shot I can reach out to Comic Connect to see if they have additional records/provenance supporting that it's from cage collection? Edit: here’s the previous comic connect sale: https://www.comicconnect.com/item/461738#description?tzf=1 Anyone have experience with CGC honoring (or not) comic connect’s pedigree attribution? Thanks for the help! Alec
