Because Rob Roter of the Pacific Comics Exchange sold a bunch of books unslabbed, but after CGC became popular, he slabbed his remaining ones and stuck the sticker on there prior to selling.

Can anyone provide some info on the historical background or origins of the Oakland Pedigree? I had one drop into my lap and was just curious was the consensus is on this collection.

Red,I may be wrong ,maybe another collector knows,but I think Mike Carbanarro found the collection!!! If it's the one I'm thinking of, the collector was real meticulas with his purchase's .He wouldn't let anybody handle his books ,he would wash his hands first & put the comics on a towell to read so he wouldn't have to touch them. I think when he grew up he went into a cleaning buisness!!! OCD!!! All the Way!!!

[Red Hook]

Major OCD! Sounds like. Some of the stories behind the pedigrees are fascinating. I wonder how Matt Nelson is coming along with his book.....think I'll drop him a line.....

[Red Hook]

Found this on Matt's website. Sounds like it's moving along.

 

[PUNYHUMAN]

Red,I know I want a copy when it comes out.Sounds like it gone to be good!!!

I love the history of these collections ,as you guys do,never tire of hearing or reading about them!!!

[Red Hook]

Yeah, hopefully he'll go into all the sordid little details!

What book did you get? I have the (almost) original Oakland list w/prices if you're interested...

[Red Hook]

It is Avengers 41, which someone has in their registered collection here, so I can't slot it into my registry set yet. Thanks!

[drbanner]

Ruh-roh, looks like that one was sold before I got the list...

[sterlingcomics]

red, what's Matt's site URL?

[Red Hook]

Classics Incorporated

 

Looks like he revamped it recently. Looks better.

[clarkkentdds]

Hey Dr. Banner- Can you post the original list?

Red, check with Vincent Zurzolo at Metropolis. I think he was also involved in the discovery of these books when he was running his own dealership, before he hooked up with Metropolis.

[Red Hook]

Thanks for the tip!
