Larryw7 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I was pretty happy to pick this one up a while back. I think it might be the highest graded copy, even though it's not technically "high grade". Go figure Love that book. Considering how tough it is, I'd consider that high grade for sure. Completely agree - that's a lovely book! Here's another very scarce Quality, I've never seen one above mid-grade: Is that yours, Steve? I have a copy, but it's fairly low grade. I never see it for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Those Hits are phenomenal books. They are out of my league but I try to console (sp?) myself with some Moderns or Blackhawks. Just got this one - First Blackhawk story splash - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagii Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) Another Detroit Trolley Hit...I've always liked this cover: Stellar cover. Lots of little details going on in that one. It is a nice copy. I only have one Trolley book, but it's not a Quality. I know the case has probably been made why it's not a pedigree, but CGC should recognize the books on the label (maybe in the space where the page quality USED to be) ?

sacentaur Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I know the case has probably been made why it's not a pedigree, but CGC should recognize the books on the labe (maybe in the space where the page quality USED to be) ? Since the Detroit Trolley books were parceled out in small batches over a long period of time, my guess is that CGC had no choice in not designating the collection as a pedigree.

Thanks for the insight. Was wondering what the 'glitch' was. Haven't seen too many high grade examples from the collection, but most are recognizable from the 'L' scrawl. Before i became more 'ahem' informed, i thought a Sensation i once owned a ways back was probably a 'Larson' because of the 'L'. Then i learned, there were no Sensations in the Larson collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacentaur Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Since Larsons ended in 11/41, that's why there are no Sensations in the collection. The 'L' is a fairly common distributor code that usually doesn't indicate a pedigree (never for Larsons), though as you note many Trolleys did have the marking. I like the Trolleys a lot.

sacentaur Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Thanks - I like underwater scene covers too, and am probably in the minority when I say that I prefer the National 7 to Hit 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
