I stopped by his booth while I was there at the show. 

I may have bought something from him maybe once this year. Can’t recall.
Never again.

A little more interesting information. This was delivered to Heroes Aren't Hard To Find this morning, anonymously. 

I loved the note. The fake postal distro markings were cute as well.

Can you share any details about the perpetrator? It's sounds like Earl may have known the person. Was it another dealer?

It was possibly another dealer

Congrats to your friend.  The question is, did he win them at his max bid or did he get a good deal on them?  Pedigree doesn't really have a stellar reputation based on past negative practices. Not sure how it is now, but bidders and collectors can form their own opinion and make their own judgements whether they want to do business with Pedigree.  I'm just reporting based on some of the experiences and research board members have posted here in the past. 

Also, I'm curious to know why I have not seen Pedigree Comics set-up at any major comic conventions. In my 20 years being in this hobby, I've never seen a Pedigree booth.  You would think being a pretty known comic auction house that they would set up to take in consignments and promote their biz.  It's something I just thought about and I don't think I ever saw an answer to this.   

I saw Schmell had setup at Baltimore this and last year

I noticed that as well, but it is afterall Pedigree Comics...  Who knows if there were any shenanigans with the bidding.

I don’t think there were shenanigans. A friend of mine won some of them. He’s an aggressive bidder like me, and simply wanted them. I was talking to him real time during the bidding - of course he was tipsy.

I told him to pump the brakes a bit, as I have 9.8 candidates of some of them likely to get graded soon, but he has a stubborn streak.

Every book I have bid on in the last three months has set a new GPA high. Maybe it's just me.

It is you 

For the most part, the prices of the FFs in the Pedigree auction last night were pretty strong.
The only notable “ouch” moment I saw, was when the 9.8 136 went for only $300. The very same book sold for $3800 on clink a couple years ago.

It went to G/QC last Thursday

All great covers there, Lou. And I won't say anything negative about Buscema.

I just find Kane's PF covers more dramatic and memorable. And there's kind of a 3D quality really takes advantage of the PF format. 

Subby 48 is hands down, my favorite PF cover of all time. Just spectacular.

I heard about this after I got home. Hope they find out whomever did it. 

At the bar…

Any thoughts?

If I purchased a book in 1980 for $0.50 and sold it today for $2,000 but 6 months ago copies in the same grade were selling for $3,000, did I just lose $1,000?

You can’t miss what you never had

My 1/13/22 economy books are GEI. 

Hopefully my 1/19 group isn’t far behind

Very nice 6.5!  The top half is super clean ... looks like the only major defect is the staining in the lower right corner, which to be honest I always feel they hammer more than they should in some cases.  A stain that doesn't detract too much from eye appeal, like this one, is a great way to get a beautiful book for its assigned grade.  Congrats!

Thanks! I’m super stoked to finally get to own one 

Last call. The two ‘Tecs end tonight. 

Good luck and thanks for looking!

If they said that to you, you should have asked for a manager. They may have given you a free Economy submission certificate for being talked to like that. 

That would be ironic. A free Economy submission. So more books can sit a year 😂
