mosconi Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Don't think I've posted these in this thread before. Some of the Spidey peds that I've been fortunate to pick up and enjoy... jeffreyk, bc and comic_memories 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovetheLizard Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Could anyone tell me which Amazing Spider-Man issues were included in the Edgar Church / Mile High collection? I wasn’t aware there were any at first, but saw some graded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've seen graded copies claiming that, provide a link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Wikipedia (not necessarily a reliable source) says he died in 1978, and I had previously heard it was the mid-70s, so it's not impossible he personally bought this book. Most accounts indicate he stopped or slowed his comic buying in the mid-50s. The collection was "discovered" in 1977 and I had previously heard he had been dead for awhile and it was his family members who were cleaning out his house. It's not impossible he was living elsewhere (like a nursing or other care home) when he died. I am far from an expert on the Church Collection and I hope someone who is will weigh in.

Dr. Love Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 In addition to the obvious, grading notes do not say it's a ped, just a universal. Must be a QC error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straw-Man Posted December 23, 2021 Author Share Posted December 23, 2021 i sent a scan of this to a certain cgc'er friend of mine when i saw it on the 'bay, and he said a couple words that wouldn't pass the filter on this board. an error.

Straw-Man Posted December 23, 2021 Author Share Posted December 23, 2021 i kinda dig little eff-ups like this, and almost bought the book, but it was a little pricey for such a lark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straw-Man Posted December 23, 2021 Author Share Posted December 23, 2021 here's one where i did pull the trigger on such an error; they accidentally put "the collection of..." info in the pedigree spot as well. i grabbed it cuz it was an upgrade of my run copy, and it was priced correctly.

Frisco Larson Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Scored this Mile High ll earlier tonight and since I see one of Billy's MH ll copies on this page, I'm wondering if anyone knows why it's not list on CGCs recognized pedigrees list. @Straw-Man Billy, any clue?
