sfilosa Posted April 25, 2005 Author Share Posted April 25, 2005 1000th post on this thread! Probably the best thread I have started. Now, I just have to buy some more pedigree books. Haven't bought any in the past month as I have been buying big dollar, non pedigree books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Hook Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Every serious SA pedigree collector should own at least one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfilosa Posted April 25, 2005 Author Share Posted April 25, 2005 Every serious SA pedigree collector should own at least one! I agree. But unfortunately they are not as easy to find as most of the other pedigrees. And one of the problems in my opinion with this pedigree, is that most of the ones sold on the market, are NOT SUPER examples. I've own 4 Daredevils (sold all but one) and the one that was a 9.4 (the others were 9.2's), looked pretty bad. And while I would have loved to own the TTA #44 CGC 9.4 that was offer several times, it had discoloration at the top right corner. It's my guess that most of the good Curator runs are locked up in a few collectors vaults, and are not available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mithril Man Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I agree. But unfortunately they are not as easy to find as most of the other pedigrees. And one of the problems in my opinion with this pedigree, is that most of the ones sold on the market, are NOT SUPER examples. Case in point, I just bought an X-Men #43 Curator in 9.4. and it has a green printers line across the top which I'm not thrilled about. But I was happy with the price. Make mine a Pacific Coast if you please... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Hook Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I saw that book, and I STILL think it's a very very cool book! Great cover! Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I was happy with the price. Make mine a Pacific Coast if you please... I've had PC copies that had a little ink also. And some of the later 60's issues are a touch yellow. Every pedigree during certain periods has flaws from a manufacturing/distributing or aging, point of view. The beauty of PC copies (and it seems like Northlands also), is that without seeing the book, I can be pretty sure it's not dramatically miscut.

sfilosa Posted May 3, 2005 Author Share Posted May 3, 2005 Muucho Grande Sweeeeeeeeeet! What are the oldest books in the Pacific Coast? Anyone know? Good Question: I discussed this with Doug Schmell and it seems that FF #7 (Oct 1962) is the first PC that wasn't bought second hand. There is a PC of TTA #27 and Hulk #1, but the grades are much lower then the usual PC books, so either they were bought second hand or (and this is my theory), the owner used them like comic books should be used (i.e. read them). Obviously, by FF #7, they are unread (as there is almost no way there could be a lot of 9.8's and still be read, even carefully). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
