lou_fine Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 (Finally some non-Silver Age pedigrees....) While I do have lots of the Silver-Age pedigrees, I agree, there is nothing like a GA pedigree. Basically, GA pedigrees seem to have a uniqueness to them, while I'm not sure that I really could tell the difference between the SA pedigrees. And the Spokane books look extremely nice. Metro has a lot, and they put a big premium on them (and I can see why). You've got a very good point here. Since GA books are so rare in high grade, you can usually reconize a GA pedigree book right away because they stand head and shoulders above the other GA books. With the SA books, there are a lot more pedigrees and HG non-pedigree copies around, it makes the SA pedigree book look like just another book in the high grade branch of the tree.

COI Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Nice! I'm a Marvel zombie, and won't pretend to know anything about that book, but considering the age, and the cover, that's quite a gem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

namisgr Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 (Finally some non-Silver Age pedigrees....) To give one of my fave threads a bump, here is the White Mountain copy of Mad 29. I continue to be amazed at the relative inexpensiveness of the early Mad comics and mags. While the title was begat from Punch, it in turn begat National Lampoon, which begat Saturday Night Live, and so on. Is there a more important non-childrens' American humor title than this one? This particular ish has contributions from Wood, Wolverton, Elder, Davis, Kamen, and Don Martin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfilosa Posted September 18, 2004 Author Share Posted September 18, 2004 Great book. I'm hoping to win a few more pedigree books in the next week or so, and then hoping for a few more in Heritage's Signature auction. And yes, let's keep this thread alive.

sfilosa Posted September 19, 2004 Author Share Posted September 19, 2004 Congrats on your first pedigree. Western Penn's are very nice, and make a good start. Hopefully, this becomes a trend for you (as long as it's not a book I want). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathlok Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 I just got this in the last Heritage auction. Although not a horror cover I do like the layout of it. That knight kicks butt, reminds me of those Batman covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Hook Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 I like it. I like it alot. The mist effect is pretty tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfilosa Posted September 23, 2004 Author Share Posted September 23, 2004 That's an awesome cover. Since I only collect CGC 8.0 or higher (not trying to sound like a snob), I didn't see that one, but the front cover has great eye appeal (the long chip in the back is why it's only a 6.5). I got one of the Beyond's Bethlehem books, so I will post it once it arrives. Keep this thread alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I would have passed by it also, but it was a pedigree and there are hardly any on the census. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

october Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 I just got this in the last Heritage auction. Although not a horror cover I do like the layout of it. That knight kicks butt, reminds me of those Batman covers. Never seen that cover before, but I love it. Reminds me of Detective 31/Batman 227 too. Looks like that will be the first pre-code book I will be trying to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiceX Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 My very first pedigree book. Well I don't know if it's technically a pedigree, but it's my first either way. Actually, I bought it as a Christmas present for my Mother. She's a huge fan of Mad, and will appreciate owning a Gaine's File book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
