I don't even know what page this thread fell too but any-ho. Just thought I'd update the Inventory, just got some back from CGC, they'll be in the auction ending on Apr. 19. ( the day before my b-day ) Enjoy. By the way my dad is so excited about his March Sig. Auction purchase, we just recived everything this past weekend it was like X-mas morning and for now he's # 1 on the WDC&S Reg. Set Talk to ya later. (thumbs u

Thanks Hank, went a little over on that one, but loved the cover. (thumbs u

Thanks, had to get the golf cover. Didn't know it was the first cover of HDL though. Bonus! (thumbs u

My first GA and Duck books. (thumbs u

My dad finally got these in today from Jan 18. (thumbs u

I have a request of the winners of any of the raw books in this weeks, or upcoming weeks, auction. Could you please either post or send me a PM ( I just need your user name) so I can keep an accurate log of the books. Also if anyone gets any slabbed or re-slabbed so I can update the Cert. #'s Thanks in advance. Andrew (thumbs u

My dad is currently bidding on 51 of them may add some more closer to the end. (thumbs u

Still a lot of our books left too Rick. (thumbs u

Thanks guys, your books look great too Bill. Hard to find them raw, at least where we're looking. We should get a box this week w/ a few more I'll post when we get them. (thumbs u

My dad got these in today. (thumbs u

No problem. My dad reads the boards everyday so I'm sure he'll see your post. (thumbs u

Hi Rick No rhyme or reason, we consigned all the books to Heritage at the same time. They made the decision on what to submit to CGC and what to sell first. I think they just went w/ the big money items first. Definitely not loss of interest JLA was one of my dads favs. (thumbs u

Just FYI guys, Heritage sent in 76 books to CGC last week and we have about 76 lots in the upcoming Feb. 15 auction. It looks like their starting with the A's to the B's. (thumbs u

I didn't forget about you Marvel guys. (thumbs u

Next some ME. I couldn't find these two in my inventory program.

Thought I might post some scans of the stuff we still have. Start with some Pine books, I know we have some fans.

I need to edit the list. The Brain was not consigned, I was looking through for some books to scan, to share, and found they were still here.

Andrew, I believe that over time, people will wake up and realize just how hard 'DC Silvers' are in High Grade and the CGC census will reflect these facts. In time, many of the Toth books will be the ones to own. Best Regards, Hank

Great book Hank. Thanks for your interest.

I'd like to thank posters both pro & con for your comments. While my dad and I knew that our collection was not a “slam dunk” we did think we had a pretty good chance. Especially given the fact that, unlike the grading criteria, they do seem to publish what will qualify your collection as a Pedigree. So we didn't make the cut, oh well, doesn't change the grades. I am a bit biased on the subject, as I'm sure most of you would be, based on the fact that it is sentimental subject. I'm sure if any of you were to sell your OO collection you'd feel it “deserved a Pedigree”. To those of you who do not feel that it meets the criteria I thank you for your interest in the collection and your entitled to your opinion. To those of you who do thank you, I hope you will enjoy these books as much as my dad did over all these years, and who knows w/ market acceptance and time maybe we'll get what we desire. I do plan w/ any future sales to include a note about there pedigree and Heritage has decided to start calling it “The David N. Toth Pedigree” in future sales much as they did w/ the Slobodian Pedigree. Thanks again. Andrew

No way to tell on why some were higher than others, as I've said he read them all. I guess some he just read more. Maybe that's why there will be a run of 9.4's w/ a 5.5 in the middle. They were sorta all his favorites, that’s why he bought them. As a 12 yr. old w/ a meager allowance he only bought the ones w/ his favorite characters on the covers. Which is why he didn't have the big B&B and Showcase runs. When Ed came to pick them up he commented that World's Finest should be "World's Slowest" because the books never moved when he was a dealer. To which my dad replied " Yeah but w/ that book I got 2 for 1 on my dime" because it had Supes and Batman. Overall I think his favs. were GL, Flash, and JLA. But I'm sure he'll call and correct me if I'm wrong after he reads this.

I'm paraphrasing for sure but this is from the CGC website on Pedigrees. I agree w/ Tim considering the majority of the books are pre 66' and include the major character titles, I think we have all the criteria down in spades. And especially since some of the "low grade books" are still highest or tied for highest grade. 780 of the 1233 are graded 9.2 or above that’s a majority if you ask me. And there are still a lot of books from pre-60' that CGC has never seen, the Dells and Gold Keys for starters and a lot of those would have similar grades. I guess the main question is not "if" it's just "why not"? I can tell you for 100% though if my dad and I didn't think there were a shot at Pedigree status these books would not have been sold.

Drum roll please. Done. Fin. Finished. Last Page. The End. That's All Folks. I need a beer. I also included the statistics on the last page. Sorry I misspoke earlier our avg. is a 9.0 still pretty good.

(thumbs u The Marvels are all bronze age so I don't know how interesting it would be. But let me finish w/ the Heritage consignment and I'll get back to you.

Yes I'd read a post early on about deleting the set but keeping them in my inventory so I could track who got what. I know we were #1 on a lot of the sets but since alot had been sold by the deadline, I removed the sets, didn't want to step on any toes. Like I said earlier w/ just the first 3 JLA's we were winning that set. I left the ones we weren't winning up so you all could see what was in the collection.
