Pedigree question: Detroit Trolley Collection???

[VintageComics]

I'm sure that CGC didn't consider it a pedigree because the collection did not contain enough keys, high grade and breadth of material but it's held in high esteem by those in the know. Very cool story and always nice to find a pile of OO books that have stood the test of time.

hey louise, check that green dress! hey sha', check that purple!!

 

Billy Parker, Louise says

 

Marnin Rosenberg from www.collectorsassemble.com brought the collection to market. He has them all archived on his site.

 

These are my Trolley books. Both from the same month and likely sat side by side on the newsstand.

 

 

 

 

I'm not finding my Detroit Trolley MF67 CGC Universal 5.0 that I just picked up from Rick on Marnin's website archives.

Could it be somewhere else and/or are some books just not on the site???

collin, tell me it wasn't you who erased the "L." it had one back when marnin sold it.

 

That is definitely NOT the same book. Look at the rest of it (bottom right, the wrap on the spine, etc. - look at the yellow wrap on Lantern's leg on the top, totally missing from the bottom copy).

 

I agree, doesn't look like the same book

may not be the same in this case, but the Detroit copy has been slabbed and still is - I believe.

the 2 books shown are definitely 2 different copies of the same issue. I was the original purchaser of the Trolley AA21 from Marnin......never touched the "L", had it slabbed / sold it thru eBay to a fellow Boardie some time ago....

So Dizzy, this must be your stealth way of starting another new thread for a book you just got.

there are actually several missing from the archives...likely that marnin has not had time to get them updated yet...but rest 100% assured, it is the trolley copy (thumbs u

correct...the 21 collin has might have been bought from marnin (he offers other GA ,etc) but it is not the trolley copy (thumbs u

Hey! I got a Trolley book! And no scan of it.

 

Here's a photo I took when it arrived from Socratic Wonder (ignore the book on the right):

Well it sure sounded as if Collin thinks it is. Hope this is not bad news for him to hear.

The inks on that book are sick, very nice. The book on the right is ok I guess.

Nope...not me...but this makes me wonder if my copy is the trolley copy as they look a bit different. I bought it from a well respected boardie, so I'll have to ask a question or two.

So my purchase apparently wasn't the Trolley copy.....

 

Still a very nice book...but dang.

Hey Big R, I never doubted it, just confirming the details of Marnin's website regarding the entire collection. P.S. I can't wait 'til Tuesday morning!

I thought that looked like my old copy... I got it from Ed Jaster back in the late 90s, Ciorac got it from me.

Not only does the DT Collection have a cool history, but it sure seems like the vast majority of the books have exceptional PQ.
