kudos to comixcroz for some nice sets (and for hunting down a few simpson books)- a well communicated and quickly shipped transaction.

more like temporary insanity. a copy sold in november for $360.

kudos to peasofcrap (his choice not mine) for the tick trade- easy transaction, lightning shipment.

This would be true if CGC hadn`t just given pedigree status to the Rocky Common Mountain collection. I didn`t comment when the Toth collection was first brought to market by CGC, because in fact they had been pretty tough about giving pedigree status over the last few years. But when they recognized a pedigree that as far as I can tell represented lots of ultra-HG books from an era lousy with ultra-HG books, I was puzzled and irritated. I think both collections are borderline Pedigree quality. The Toth collection is DC only with a lot of the earlier stuff, although it may be highest graded, is still below 9.0. There are some phenomenal runs in ultra high grade though. The RMs are light on the keys in terms of grade but ULTRA high grade from the mid 60s on. My original point was that the Toth collection is not a SLAM DUNK Pedigree, which is what a lot of the posters were saying. I can see it getting the Pedigree designation but I'm not surprised that it didn't either. To say that it is undoubtedly a Pedigree without hesitation is just over-exhuberance IMO. This of course comes from someone who does not collect SA DC and it seems that all the proponents of the Toth collection being Pedigreed are the DC collectors on the board. maybe that's due to: a)the DC collectors realizing how tough these books are to find in HG and b)marvel collectors not giving a rat's

i'd be happy to see a list of books thru '68. the '73 and beyond would be of secondary interest.

I agree, by 2007 nearly everyone will look to improve their books by having them pressed!!

FF #40 9.6 white (pic to follow) :banana:

I can't read the cert. # or I'd be able to tell you if is the Toth copy. I have most of them memorized. If it is the Toth copy it got from Dallas to Vancouver quick. only thing to come out of vancouver that wasn't a scam is greggy.

i'd like to know what reasons were given for not giving the collection a pedigree status.

He was either 52 or 53 in "75" . He does look younger, but looks more like an old time porn star. I wonder what REALLY went on in Stan's Bullpen! Anybody else hear Stan's voice in your head when you read something by him...or is it just me his right hand is not completely shown but i'm sure it's signing some book he either wrote, drew or read hes left handed Grinder should know. He is just out of the picture, at age 5, waiting for a signature and babbling about some Signature Series in the future. he's left handed now. in '75, before he wore it down to the nub from signing he was right handed

i was there. that's a nice item for $10

kudos to bubbagump for moderns and a HC- professionally packaged and quickly shipped.

unbelievable prices in this Sunday's Heritage Auction. 8-11x guide for a few 9.6's, issues #65,66,70

i've read every book he's written (except for this one)

kudos to spookley for a sweet slab and the handholding thru an 8 day "priority" delivery

9.0-9.2

stick to noticing 9.4's and leave the dregs for us little guys. A 9.2 #24 is like a 9.4 of any other book. someone got a steal the last time this book appeared based on the price this go round. i was the unfortunate underbidder. i believe spookley bought it.

given that there's only one 9.6 on the census, i would say 'no, it isn't going to be easy to obtain." And given that a 9.2 sold for $1400+ this year, i think you're looking at something like $6,000 for the 9.6. given the scarcity, that is probably on the low side.

this seems to be happening more and more frequently. does the seller hope someone will be ignorant enough to throw out the min bid (50% of list) and catch a sucker that way? Plus, WTF is with the non-even $3,033 price? 1/2 the sign of the beast for the mathematically challenged
