What is your question ? If you want to know the last sale, why don't you do some research on your own ?

Hep, you are one of the few, true collectors out there and I hope you continue to add to your wonderful collection for years to come. Don't ever change !

Love this book, just got it.........................

Good stuff !!!

Beautiful copy. I've never owned a copy of #49. I'll have to be on the lookout to pick one up. Love your books, high grade, but not uber high grade, with good eye appeal. Now that is smart collecting !

Wow, a really nice looking book. Old Label goodness and White Pages, love it !

Your results add up to 23 copies ?

Cool books. Here's where those Flash books come from, a boxed 6 Pack.

Oooops. Deleted original post. Sorry. Still a cool book worthy of AH.

Definitely my #1 favorite Sci Fi cover. Congrats. We should start a SA 110 club !

The longer this thread gets, the more difficult the research. It really needs a summary. Also, I don't know of anyone that catalogs their inventory by Date stamp. Other than an occasional lucky hit, how is this thread supposed to work ?

Besides comics, I've dabbled with non-Sports cards, coins, and paper currency. For a while I was an avid collector of vinyl, especially 45's, with emphasis on the picture sleeves. Also sheet music from 60's. I once talked to Borock about the possibility of CGC grading sheet music but he said it was too small a niche and would not be worth it. Now, it seems like they slab a lot of different things. Whenever I went off on these collecting tangents I always came back to comics, obviously what I enjoy best. I admire the broad stroke of your collecting scope. I see it as you are collecting a time period, as opposed to any one one genre. For me, whenever I expanded my collecting scope, the biggest challenge was storage space. How do you handle that challenge ?

Great stuff Hep, loving it all !!!

Picked up a few Marvel Age books at 50 cents each. I had no idea #41 has some real value. Crazy. I guess it's a good book for Signature Service collectors. Here's one you don't see too often.

Very cool books.

That better not have been another DG pull you beat me to. Congrats! No worries, NOT an LCS find.

Just got this, love this cover......

I found an old quote from Steve Wyatt on the Don Rosa and it is mostly OO. Regarding the Don Rosa Collection Pedigree, were all these books bought by Rosa "off the rack" firsthand or were they bought on the secondary market? ANSWER: Off the rack. All the books from 1966 to the late 1980's were purchased by Don firsthand, everything. He is the original owner.

I can't think of another. Don and Maggie and Don Rosa have "collection" on the label, but they are counted as pedigrees -- and I guess they are only "celebrities" within the hobby. Carl Barks's own copies of his books have a notation on the label. The Don & Maggie and Don Rosa collections are treated as collections, not pedigrees. They are on the CGC list here: CGC recognized pedigrees They are on the list because they are noted on the label. However, they are noted as a collection on both this list and the label. The reason is the books are primarily not OO, they are not books bought off the stands by these individuals. It seems Don Rosa gets a minimal premium while the Don and Maggie get a full pedigree premium. That's probably because the books are so nice. Don and Maggie had the best copies available.

Not sure what your question is ?

This covers from you to the presser. But what if the presser packs the books poorly ? What if the presser hand delivers the books to CGC ? The presser is handling the books so much more than the graders = much higher probability of that's way the finger bends occurred.

Please note it was pressers that were offering up the fact that it could have been post press.
