WORLD'S BEST RUN AND #1 CGC REGISTRY SET OF SGT FURY IN PEDIGREE'S GRAND AUCTION

[Captain Tripps]

Pedigree Comics, Inc. is extremely proud to announce that the focus of their upcoming Grand Auction (starting on Thursday evening, February 5, 2009) will be the incredible Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos run and #1 CGC Registry set of noted collector Mark Arrand, the recipient of the Comics Registry's "Achievement in Comics Collecting 2008" award. To accomodate this unbelievable, high grade set (a complete run of Sgt. Fury between #2 and #67), Pedigree Comics will be modifying the Grand Auction format and suspending the $1,000 minimum bid requirement on almost every book in the auction.

 

This amazing run was meticulously put together by Mr. Arrand over a course of a number of years, as he bought the highest certified issue he could find of this undervalued Silver Age title and would then purchase an upgrade on an issue if one became available. This world's #1 set has to be seen to be believed! There are 10 9.8s, 38 9.6s, 16 9.4s and 2 9.2s in the run and most are the highest certified copies. Nearly all of the issues (save for a couple earlier ones) are being offered without any reserve and so this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to pick up issues of the most popular Silver Age war title in grades rarely, if ever, offered for sale. As an added bonus, almost every book (43) offered in the set comes from one recognized Silver Age pedigree or another, with the majority from the great Massachusetts and Golden State Collections. The pedigree factor translates to superior page quality, as almost every book offered has either white or off-white to white pages. Do not miss this fabulous opportunity to snatch up ultra high grade 1960's Sgt. Furys. WAH-HOOO!!

 

The Grand Auction will run for ten (10) days and will end on Sunday evening, February 15th on the Pedigree Comics, Inc. web site (www.PedigreeComics.com). They are currently accepting new items for the auction and will continue to up until the auction commencement on February 5th.
