sfilosa Posted February 15, 2005 Author Share Posted February 15, 2005 Well its no wondering why Northlands would be your faves, Steve, with a stunner like that one! Just stick with the early to mid '60s books - I can tell you from firsthand experience that the later Silver and early Bronze, while still nice, do not have as good color preservation as the earlier part of the collection. I've heard that several times. SInce I believe my newest Northland is 1968, that's probably why I haven't seen the "less desireable" copies yet. BTW: Nice pickup on the GL #16. Went for a bargain price compared to other sales. Didn't want to jack the price up (since my guess was you would outbid me anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfilosa Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 Yeah, The Dallas Stephen Collection is NOT a PEDIGREE. It is a collection of books and in general, really adds no value to the book. The difference between a pedigree and collection is that the pedigree came from one source (being the original owner or file copy of the publisher or even a warehouse find). What makes them special (to most collectors) is the uniformity in the preservation of the books. Collections are just like what you and I have, and therefore don't share the uniformity in preservation. Yes, they might be in high grade, but that's because they were BOUGHT in High Grade, just like you just did. Of course THAT'S a nice book so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john72tex Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 So it is not considered a Mile High Pedigree? Oh well, it's a nice book anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfilosa Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 It's not a Mile High Pedigree. There are two pedigrees that have Mile High in them. One Edgar Chruch / Mile High which is the premiere GA pedigree. Mile High II which was a warehouse find of SA/BA books and is considered a very weak pedigree (even though if all the books were put back together it would be the largest by far). True PEDIGREES will have the name on the RIGHT SIDE of the LABEL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
