Take a look here - this talks about comic pedigrees

 

It does show the typical marks for a Big Apple.

 

Yeah....I read this and it didn't have the "j" exactly as the samples showed....that's why I figured I'd ask all you guys. Guess the only way is to track it back to Weiss....but how to convince CGC, do I need actual paperwork or do they look at it and smell it and put a nice "Big Apple Copy" on the blue label??

 

That may be a very "fat" j on your book and CGC may be able to match it up with others that it is aware of. If they can't, then they would want to know who you bought it from and they will attempt to get information from him. The less work CGC has to do and the more reliable the source, the greater the chance they will certify it as a Big Apple. Regardless, it looks like you have a very attractive copy.

 

Thanks......very helpful. I actually bought it from Metro....I'll ask Steve what info he has.

 

...if your send to CGC, just provide the Metro mylar label (or sales invoice) that states the Big Apple pedigree. Did that for a couple in the past.
