showcase22gr1959 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 It will be interesting to see if the Rocky Mountain Collection GL run that Clink has scheduled for the March auction can hit the same type of highs that the Marvel books did last year in light of the current market. How far back do they go? #15; and there isn't a 9.4 listed until #34. that run is ho hum at best. Further illustration why the collection doesn't deserve pedigree status. 9.2's are not pedigree worthy? For a SA pedigree composed of post-1964 books, no. or the incompleteness of the DC's? (weren't the marvels back to 1?...) The Marvels aren't complete either, to my knowledge. If there are major Marvel keys in the collection, I'm not aware of them. The collection simply doesn't go back far enough. I really didn't pay attention...sounds reasonable then I found this on CGC site Posted by Collectors Society on 12/10/2008 CGC is now recognizing the pedigree Rocky Mountain. All comic books certified from this collection are eligible for the notation “Rocky Mountain” indicating that they were part of this original owner collection. Rocky Mountain, so named because it is from Colorado, contains over 5,000 comic books in high-grade runs of Marvel and DC titles from the 1960’s and up. The collection is being offered by ComicLink, and they have already sold books from the Amazing Spider-Man, and the Silver/Bronze Age Fantastic Four and X-men runs. According to Josh Nathanson, ComicLink President, “There has been overwhelming collector interest in these comic books, and this is the finest collection we’ve brought to market since we opened in 1996.” The Rocky Mountain Avengers run, along with other runs, is slated to be auctioned by ComicLink in their February sale. The comic books were stored meticulously for decades in a cool, dry basement, and have bold, newsstand-fresh colors and white or off-white to white pages. There are many Rocky Mountain examples that are the highest certified for their issue. Examples include Amazing Spider-Man #31, Fantastic Four #54, and X-men #39, all of which received CGC grades of 9.8. Mark Haspel, CGC President and Primary Grader comments, “One of the unique things about the Rocky Mountain pedigree is that there are photographs of it in its original state, making it one of the most thoroughly documented pedigrees. It has long runs of Marvel and DC, and because of their high grades and their market acceptance, this collection certainly has special merit.” Comic books previously sold by ComicLink as the Rocky Mountain pedigree without notation on the CGC label can be sent in for pedigree reholder for an $11 service fee. To qualify, books must remain in their CGC holder as originally certified. Contact CGC for additional information. To learn more about pedigrees recognized by CGC visit: CGC Pedigrees .

He's probably one of my favorite runs to collect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
