adamstrange Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I seek out pedigrees regardless of CGC but I thought that Billy's goal was one of each CGC-recognized pedigree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straw-Man Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 I seek out pedigrees regardless of CGC but I thought that Billy's goal was one of each CGC-recognized pedigree. i want 'em all too, but this specific project started out, as the very first post says,as a run of the "cgc recognized [now or formerly] peds." i have books from harold and eldon and from cookeville and new hampshire and detroit.... they're just not a part of this thread. i wasn't trying to dodge books, as my choice to go for any ped with books prior to s'case 4 shows. i just figured the cgc label would take care of authentication issues as opposed to books that one couldn't be sure about. maybe i need to start a "not recognized [now or ever] by cgc g.a. ped thread."

Moondog Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Billy, do you have a Windy City in that collection of yours? Billy, I think you may need to look for another Windy City for your pedigree run. I didn't remember this title being in the collection so I double-checked my records to see what the original grade was for the book and confirmed that there was no listing in the original inventory. I then checked all the photos I have of all the books and it does not show up in any of them either. It's a shame that dealers in the late 80s were representing any nice GA number one with C/0W pages and/or a dusty cover as a Windy City. Clearly those characteristics aren't definitive enough to prove the claim. This photo has most of the big books of the 1930s and early 1940s.
