Bomber-Bob Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 This was the only book I was disappointed with. Not with the grade; I expected an 8.0 but it was sold to me by Gary Carter as the Church copy and CGC determined that it wasn't. Oh well, it's still a nice book with a great Gil Kane art and black cover Great book ! Regarding CGC not recognizing it as a Church copy, I believe they have a cutoff, datewise, for each pedigree. This happened to me on some Mass pedigrees from the 80's which they did not recognize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, Carter sold the book to me and he claimed he bought it directly from Chuch Rozanski. At next year's San Diego Comic-Con I'll ask him. He always has a large booth there. Although Carter's prices on his MH books were pricey even for the era (early 1990s) he always struck me as sincere and honest. He was the editor of the Comic Book Market Place fanzine for many years. He's not involved with the hobby any more as far as I know. The last I heard is that he's a junior college insturctor in the San Diego area. I bought a Detective Comics book from him that he claimed that was the MH copy and it did receive the MH designation from CGC at the time of submission. According to Gemma at CGC the interior pages of the Church copies have a distinctive smell to them. And the pages of the MIS 34 did not give off that distinctive smell and the Detective Comics did. I'm not able to determine the smell myself; I have a very poor sense of smell having been born with a deviated septum (Look it up on Wikipedia) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the pages of the MIS 34 did not give off that distinctive smell and the Detective Comics did. i had a similar situation w/ an ASM #30 Green River. Haspel told me it had the same aroma as a couple of other ASM's i submitted at the same time which weren't Greenies. At some point i will appeal to a higher authority because according to RedHook, the date stamp is definitive proof it's a GR. Lovely books, btw.

BustedFlush Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Jeees those books look good. Superboy 40 at 9.4?!? Nice. BTW what did the Lois Lane 1 get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmay Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Did someone just quote 15 scans just to say "sweet"? Anyway... Sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larryw7 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I believe there are 11 copies of this book in the census. Second highest graded. I may be wrong but I'm slowly arriving to the conclusion that a 1950s DC in 8.0 is tantamount to a mid and late 1960s 9.4 and above. Obviously that goes for the 1970s books and beyond. That is stunning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the420kid Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 From 1959. Love the DC Greens and the OW/W pages.
