So, finding out you have it means that either I'm not going to get it from her for xmas, or that you are my fiancee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tth2 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 I just picked up some new Pacific Coast JLAs, so thought I'd take the opportunity to display all of my PC JLAs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tth2 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Incredible books, Tim. Would you say that the PC books are nicest SA pedigrees? It sure looks like it to me! It`s hard to say. Speaking of DCs only, I`d have to say that where PC books exist in high grade, which seems to be about mid-1963 onwards, they are hard to beat, as evidenced by the JLA run. But, having said that, I could point to the Western Penn Flash run, which from 138 (Aug 1963) through the 150s averages 9.6 and features 3 9.8s. And the quality issues of the Western Penn collection seems to go much earlier than the PC collection, featuring for instance 9.6 copies of Showcase from 1961 and 1962. In contrast, as far as I know the PC JLAs only start in the teens. The truth of the matter is that I really don`t know enough to say one way or another, because I haven`t seen enough of either pedigree. For example, the only PC copy of Flash that I`ve seen is #137 (CGC 9.6). Where are the other PC Flashes? I`ve never seen ANY PC or Western Penn early GLs or Atoms, nor have I have seen any Western Penn JLAs. Do these books exist? If so, what kinds of grades are they in?

tth2 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 So Tim what JLA issues from the first 50 or so books are you missing? Unfortunately, the number of issues I`m missing dwarfs the number of issues I own. For example, the only JLA I own from 1-10 is #5. You can check out my JLAs in the Registry, and you`ll see the embarassingly huge gaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nik Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Yeah but, as you start to close your gap, your registry set looks amazing (even if they are DC's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Tth2, do you know if these incredible books were read at all or just bought and not touched thereafter? I have little memory for pedigree details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tth2 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Tth2, do you know if these incredible books were read at all or just bought and not touched thereafter? I have little memory for pedigree details. There's a thread somewhere where Doug Schmell and Linmoth/Tom Hanlin discuss this very issue with respect to the PCs. I believe Doug was of the opinion that the PC books, particularly the spines, were so immaculate that they couldn't have been read, but Tom said that the PC OO was so knowledgeable about the stories and characters that he must have read the books. I don't know about the Western Penns, perhaps Tom could shed some light on whether the OO actually read the books. For the record, it's definitely possible to get 9.6s and 9.8s on books that have been read. The 9.8 JLA 24 that I posted above was read by me before I submitted it.

How much precaution does it take to keep it in that grade though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timulty Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I think it would be more informative, if you told us how you were able to "Cherry Pick" your comic. What characteristics etc. Also, how you stored it. Though, since that was quite a while, I understand if you can't remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
