[akaSteveRogers]

Is there a list of pedigrees recognized by CGC? Anyone know of this "Reynolds Collection"? I have no clue about this stuff...

 

Thanks!

Marketing ploy.

Only collections which are noted for their quality and their quantity of titles can qualify for Pedigree status. Some collections which fail to qualify as pedigrees are noted on the CGC label such as Don Rosa but this is uncommon.

 

Most "collections" are not noted on the CGC label but are marketed by dealers based on quality or the original ownership and certificates of authenticity produced by the dealer are commonly used to identify these books.

 

I am unfamiliar with the Reynolds collection. The seller should be able to provide you with some kind of provenance if they are marketing a book as part of a specific "collection."

Pretty much anything you buy from reynoldjay on eBay comes with a piece of paper saying it's from that collection. It's all marketing like Doc said.

Thanks for the info!

He used to include certificates that they were from the Legends 2007 (or 2006 or whatever) Collection and you were the first owner of the book.

Yeah, he still does this.

 

I just wonder how many people actually follow his instructions and do the transfer of ownership on the certs when they sell them, as I'm betting many of these just end up getting tossed afterwards.

Anyone have any information on Western Penn. pedigrees. I recently purchased a Giant Size X-Men #1 western penn and have found little to no info regarding this pedigree.

Matt Nelson should have a pedigree book "Real Soon".

That's only the Golden Age pedigrees though. He doesn't have summaries for the Silver Age collections yet.

Stolen from another site:

 

The Western Penn collection was a single owner/original owner collection that was purchased over a ten year period, from the late 70's through the end of the 80's. The collection contained approximately 30,000 mostly from 1940-1989 (Yes, the seller was still buying nm/m copies off the stands as he was selling off the collection!). The Western Penn comics were unread and saved in like-new condition. They are beautiful books.

Do a search of "Western Penn" in posts by Linmoth. He was one of the first dealers to get access to the collection from the guy who uncovered it, and knows about as much as anyone about the collection.

What is everyone's opinion on the Don Rosa pedigree? I would appreciate whatever input you can provide. Thanks!

[seanfingh]

My opinion is that it is a collection, not a pedigree. Some of the books are super sweet, some not so much.

Hi: From what I recall, the Western Penn Pedigree wasn't a single owner collection. It did include Golden Age as well as Silver Age books. Later SA books in multiples of as many as >20.
