  1. Im sure that Heritage promoted the collection to CGC as a Pedigree, and to the Toths that they would give it a strenuous but not guaranteed effort to do so. CGC has been very stingy about Pedigree status for years, so this collection missing out just puts it on that list of near misses. Still great company to be in.

    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. hm

    Many of the non SA DC collectors look at books like Superboy #54 in CGC 8.5 and don't realize how hard these books are to find in anything above VG.
  2. Thanks Bill....had to do something to get away from the television.....I am truly ashamed to be a Panthers fan right now.

     

    Ashamed.

     

     

    Be proud of those cool books though Scott :applause:

     

    But yeah, the Panthers (especially Delhomme) stunk it up. Long time coming for the Cardinals though.

    Fricking Rams made the worst decision in franchise history. Besides leaving LA.

    :mad:

    The Rams owner was :censored:
    Possibly the worst time ever to be a Rams fan.
