It crossed my mind that’s all. There is even a bigger conflict with the Allentown Bulletman 1 which Payette graded as a VF+ (8.5). . It’s in a holder today as a 7.0.

I underestimated them also about that time.

Yes, CGC also graded it at 8.5, maybe not daring to conflict Payette 8.5 because of his rep as a very respectable grader. Years later “ They dared” and they are right.

I bought this book for 4 reasons. 1) It’s an Allentown 2) It’s a key 3) It has a beautiful colorful exciting cover with deep colors. 4) I get a kick out of saying this book slept with what is arguably the most valuable comic book in the world- The Allentown Detective # 27.

I think I have a good handle on this . The book is not a 8.5. Payette must of had a bad day. Id never resubmit it. I think the odds are better it would be a 7.5 than an 8.5. I’m happy with 8.0 VF.

I was enamored with the high Grade of 9.8 on an Action comic under the original logo. By the way , it was the last original logo.

I owned the Mile high copy . I was a 9.2. I thought it was under graded in the old holder to this day

Yes

Lol. John Snyder who sold it to Dave

Church- Rozanski- Snyder- Anderson? not too many hands over 80 plus years.

Can’t beat this . I assume July 1938.

Got this off the net. Assembled by a young man who was born around 1929, the New Hampshire pedigree contains approximately 1,400 books mainly representing the western genre of the late ‘40s and ’50s. This collection contains more western comics than almost any other pedigreed collection. In 1989 the man sold his collection through an agent to Jim Payette, who in turn offered the books in his catalog. This was named the New Hampshire collection after the city in which the books surfaced. Many were subsequently purchased by Bob Overstreet. They are easily identified because of a distinct penciled date on each cover. Long considered a pedigree by collectors, CGC has finally recognized the collection’s status. (per CGC website)

Yep

People who are not in the hobby always ask me one thing. How much is it worth? And only one thing.

Excellent advice!

I will

That is such a red hot book

Thank you Rick. I always liked you. I hit the road hard this month. Picked up 5 Mile highs. 3 Larsons, 1 Allentown, , 4 White mountains. I’m collecting only Pedigrees now.

I actually meant the Yellow kid , sorry

I agree with you the comic book in it’s more modern format should be considered the first comic book. If my memory serves me correctly, say going Back 30 plus years ago Funnies on parade was considered the first comic book.( a give away) Famous funnies series 1 was the first comic book “sold” (in stores) and famous funnies #1 was the first news stand comic book.. Then the duck came into the picture ( more an actual book) and f@&ked things up. Lol
