IRS pedigree

I've only seen it mentioned once. It was a raw book advertised as NM/M, and the book was ASM 41. I don't know how the grading was, but I remember checking the feedback the guy left after receiving the book and I don't think the buyer was all that pleased.

I have heard of this Pedigree but dont know nothing about it any help would be nice thanx.
It was a collection accumulated by a former employee of the Colorado Revenue Service who financied his collection by embezzling $$. When he was caught, his collection was sold off to pay off the amounts that was stolen. RTS Unlimited bought the books. From what I remembered, the major keys weren't present or in great shape!

I remember this,wasn't it in the early 90s.How'd they get a pedigree designation? Weren't that great to begin with and certainly weren't from one original owner.Did enjoy the irony though.

cgc doesn't recognize it as a pedigree as far as I am aware. It was marketed as a pedigree in the early 90s, obviously to entice people to pay more.

The IRS collection was long & deep. Even in San Diego July, 2003, there were still triples availiable of some obscure vf #1 Gold Keys from the 60s. 893blahblah.gif

As a long time dealer/collector,I just want to remind you there was not a big market for obscure Gold Keys when this collection hit the market.Times have changed but at the time I don't recall any ooohs and aaaas about this collection.

 

BTW-Do you know if this was the source of the several HG Frankenstien Jrs that popped up this fall?

Like Greggy says, the IRS collection is not a pedigree at all - just a COLLECTION of a bunch of comics put together through various sources by a fellow who has the same name (coincidentally?) as your User ID. Hi Aaron! How's life in the slammer! cool.gif

Did anyone read the latest Wizard, where they refer to some of these (including the Nic Cage books) as a Pedigree?

There's all kinds of books in that collection. Early number Actions and other DC's if I remember. But mostly mid to lower grade.
