What's your defination of a pedigree???

[PUNYHUMAN]

Mine would be one owner,Edgar church, Lamont Larson,ETC. High Grade most of it, Large collection for the most of it, preferably Golden Age and some early Silver Age. Alot of the collections in my opinion, like the Dave Sim's collection, should be a providence, not a pedigree. Same as the Mile High 2 collection found in a warehouse. These weren't colllected by an individual. IMHO Dave Sim's collection isn't even old enough to be considered a pedigree. These were hand picked by him. Too many multiples! Maybe I'm wrong. what do you guys think? I mean, would you guys put this collection up against the San-Francisco, Edgar Church, Larson, Bethlehem, etc. I also don't feel that Bill Gaines is a pedigree either. I think it should be considered a File copy. What do you guys think? I'd like to hear your opinions. Don't get me wrong these are great books from what I've seen, but there are too many collections nowadays passed off as pedigrees.

One owner. Full runs of all, or most, the major titles of the era. Original owner. Abnormally nice copies of the books. Books were stored in like conditions and have some kind of "trademark" to them. Includes major keys, and is mostly G.A. to early S.A.

My opinion is a pedigree is a collection created by an individual. The books were puchased as they were published. They were stored and maintained in a similar manner and share a common, general HG condition.

It's when Triple H sticks your head between his legs, hooks your arms with his and then he jumps up and lands on his knees giving you a nice little face plant.

Would you classify all the books that Nic Cage put together

as a candidate for a pedigree?

I wouldn't.

But then again art collectors and dog breeders brag on

pedigrees, and some of them actually create their 'product'?

And if we were famous we might be able to arrange the labels on books we submit to say "From the collection of So and So."

The "Ian Levine Collection" has a nice ring to it.

Is being famous a requirement, or do we get the designation automatically by consigning our books to Chuck?
