The Top Silver Age Pedigrees

[Gotham Kid]

Great thread Barton. (thumbs u

I'd switch Pedigree position 8 and 9. But that's just a matter of personal preference.

[Ghost Town]

Again, not my books. White Mountains:

Really something. I remember the AF15 sold by Sotheby's in the early 1990's for a record $50K and folks were calling it a silly purchase.

[Ghost Town]

(Not my) Pacific Coasts:

Western Penn books have beautiful bone white pages.

I would put the PC's as #1.

I have always said that the PC's are the Edgar Church/Mile High collection of the Silver Age.

The depth of that collection, as well as the quality of the books, are unreal.

 

Pacific Coasts are unreal... the structure of them with their plump spines is what convinced me that pedigree books are the real deal in terms of quality (the right ones that is) and worth a premium.

 

Oh the perfect centering doesn't hurt either.

(Not my) Pacific Coasts:

 

 

 

 

But they can be Barton , when Doug auctions off his drek on Heritage

[Ghost Town]

Not my Mass books (except one):

 

 

 

[Ghost Town]

(Not my) Twin Cities books:

[Blind Owl]

Oh yeah, that Spidey #2 one of a kind.

 

Now i know who picked it up...love to have a copy like that...

[Bomber-Bob]

The show and tell in this thread is outstanding. Keep arguing !

[Ghost Town]

Oh yeah, that Spidey #2 one of a kind.

 

Now i know who picked it up...love to have a copy like that...

Just to be clear - these aren't my books. (Well, the Mass ASM #17 is, but the others are just scans I found on the web.)

I have yet to see nicer SA war books than those that came out of the Boston Pedigree Collection. I wonder if the question as to best pedigree should be qualified in terms of genre?

[namisgr]

As always for this discussion on SA pedigrees, your mileage may vary.

 

Early DCs: Western PA, Pacific Coast, White Mountain (many of the Mass early SA DCs are unattributed)

Early Marvel keys: White Mountain, Pacific Coast, Curator, Massachusetts, Twin Cities

Early Marvel non-keys: Curator, Pacific Coast, Massachusetts, Twin Cities, Western PA, Northland

Mid sixties comics: Rocky Mountain, Pacific Coast, Boston, Curator, Massachusetts, Twin Cities

Dell/Gold Key: White Mountain, Pacific Coast, Bethlehem, Northland

 

We could probably have fun considering each pedigree by title.

That's what makes this a tough question to answer.

That's what makes this a tough question to answer.

 

Seems everyone is pretty much in agreement that Curators are tops. After that, its definitely a shoot!
