The thing about "Greggy" is that he's,....

[PedigreeMan]

Go wash my car !!

 

Do we really want to know what that's code for?

I've made my "M Date stamp". Pretty soon there will be as much Salidas out there as Bostons!

 

Not

FUNG

Funny.

 

Seriously.

 

I'd have much rather you said you were going to start pencilling "G"s on books from 1946.

Word on the streets is that the good books suffered the same fate as the majority of Church Fiction House books. Tanning due to poor storage by subsequent owners. Bruce isn't the brightest guy!

 

Greggy, "the streets" where you sell your short-short wearing are not the same "streets" where people hear things.

So...the reported existence of some keys in this mainly Silver Age "pedigree" is fiction as well?

 

It must take many MAN-hours working out on those "streets" of yours to make enough money to buy all of that crack you're smoking.

Mmm....side tracking the real point. Where's the keys? Hell...there must be a Sgt Fury run in there? So...a 1950 to 1969 collection doesn't mainly cover the Silver Age?

 

In this superhero-centric hobby, a collection of war and humor books isn't going to have many "keys" per se. I could ask you where the keys are in your romance collection, but I'm not a horse's , so I won't.

 

And there are tons of Salidas from before 1950, and the ones from the Silver Age don't stand up in paper quality. The bulk of the gorgeous books are from the '50s. If anyone still used the old "tweener" age connotations, Salida would be more an "Atomic Age" pedigree than anything.

 

If it had more Silver Age-defining comics in it (re: superheroes), one could get away with calling it a "Silver Age pedigree" like Bethlehem or White Mountain. But its defining genres are from a throwback age, thus anyone who calls it a "Silver Age pedigree" is smoking crack.

 

And remember, Greggy: Don't smoke crack, lick it.

So...it's Atomic now! Anything to not call it a Silver Age pedigree because YOU feel that none are worthly. Oh well, I'll leave you to your delusions and I await some more scans of some obscure books. You're lucky that it arrived before CGC so it'll get grandfathered in as an accepted pedigree...or maybe not. Later...show us some more "Atomic" Age books. Looks like the key books from the Silver Age won't be seeing the light anytime soon.

I doubt you'd be able to find anyone with even a passing knowledge of the pedigree to designate it a "Silver Age pedigree." There are books from the '40s in it, for crying out loud! Frank Blankis was born in 1919, for Pete's sake! It's like the Spokane pedigree -- Atomic Age -- but since no one but Pov uses the term "Atomic Age" any more, Golden Age is more apropos a term. You're just a foolio.

 

And I couldn't give a [#@$%!!!] whether CGC recognizes Salida as a pedigree or not. Not everyone recognizes them as the final arbiters of what makes a pedigree. Besides, they're not very high on my confidence list right now when it comes to pedigrees. In fact, Haspel wouldn't recognize a Salida if it was hand delivered by Frank Blankis himself. Truly. Mark had no idea there were any date stamps whatsoever on them when I talked to him about the 15 GI Combats I picked up last year that were unlabelled as Salidas.

 

And if someone posts a Salida key, would you like some salt and pepper with that crow?

[greggy]

Yes, a key would legitimize it.

 

So...if some sucker who bought the non-keys early from Bruce's store not knowing about it's vaunted status as a pedigree submits them, CGC should automatically treat them as a Salida? Wow...just white pages and a "M stamp" makes it a "Salida". What happens when a non-Salida with that stamp gets designated? You going to go on another rant? Can't have it both ways.

 

But...obviously you love this "pedigree" but don't try to shove it down everyone else's throat.

[awe4one]

So Salidas is another proposed pedigree? Doesn't seem like a month goes by that another collection is found and it's status as a "pedigree" is claimed. I think the "naming" of collections has spiraled out of control. The designation of the collections such as Nic Cage or Dallas Stephens by CGC on the labels has further muddled the waters.

 

Not every nice collection found deserves a pedigree or "collection" designation. True pedigrees should remain as few as possible. All these proposed collections/pedigrees only serve to water down the significance of the deserving collections.

My god, there's been more discussion of Blankis/Salida books on these boards in the past 3 days than, well, in all of the rest of history combined.

 

To see 2 grown men (well, 1 grown man and Greggy) fighting about this pedigree is disturbing, to say the least. I may have to shoot up tonight to get the image out of my head.

 

And Greggy, we don't WANT collections with average grades of VG-F to be considered SA pedigrees.

 

And Alan, I still use the term "Atomic Age". Would you believe the world was flat just because Overstreet said so?

 

Oh yeah, when you use the "quote" button, YOU DON'T HAVE TO KEEP QUOTING EVERYTHING THAT CAME BEFORE!!!!!!!!!!! Consider learning to use the delete button so some of us don't have to scroll down for 1 minute just to find some nugget of wisdom like " " or " " or " " waiting for us.

Tim chill out. Not my fault that someone can't handle an initial tongue and cheek comment!

[PedigreeMan]

Yes, a key would legitimize it.

 

GI Combat #1? OOAW #83? Plus, there are a whole slew of "keys" to a war collector that a non-war collector would simply shrug at.

 

So...if some sucker who bought the non-keys early from Bruce's store not knowing about it's vaunted status as a pedigree submits them, CGC should automatically treat them as a Salida? Wow...just white pages and a "M stamp" makes it a "Salida". What happens when a non-Salida with that stamp gets designated? You going to go on another rant? Can't have it both ways.

 

You just have no clue, do you? Mile High had the provenance for the 15 GI Combats I bought, but they were more interested in getting "Dallas Stephens" put on the label than anything else. I had to practically beg Will Moulton for the list of Salida books in Dallas' collection.

 

And yes, if Haspel had been aware of the date stamps I'm sure he would have called to question provenance. He actually remembered the GI Combats in question -- "You don't see many books from the '50s with gorgeous white pages like that," he said. When CGC is randomly calling about books they think might be Edgar Churches or whatnot, of course I would expect them to call about a possible Salida. IF they knew what the hell they're looking for.

 

And if CGC slabs a Salida from, say, 1982, then yeah, I'll definitely go on another rant. And the day that someone can effectively counterfeit a Salida -- complete with accurate date stamp, blinding colors, and white pages that blow away Churches and Reillys -- is the day I get out of this corrupt hobby for good.

 

But...obviously you love this "pedigree" but don't try to shove it down everyone else's throat.

 

Ridiculous. I have less than 1000 posts here, a fraction of which relate to or even mention "Salidas." And yet I'm "shoving them down everyone's throat?" I'm certain more people in the hobby are aware of your collecting habits than mine, Greggy, so who's doing the shoving?

 

I'm done feeding trolls.

Salidas were mentioned in Matt Nelson's pedigree article from 1995. Ain't nothin' proposed about it.

All of my comments were in fun, I actually enjoyed the "debate".

 

Except for my comment about the "quote" button!!!

So...Matt Nelson is now the final arbitrator of what or what isn't a pedigree now? CGC isn't but Matt is because he has a write-up on it! Hilarious...but you are so thin skinned that it's not even funny.

They gots good heroin in Hong Kong, don't they Tim?

Funny, I don't wany ANY collections from the Silver Age proper to be called a pedigree.

 

And Alan, I still use the term "Atomic Age".

 

That's 'cause yer kewl old school style like me and Pov.

So you wanna buy some sweet WDC&Ss? (I'm trying to gauge if my pimping of this pedigree has paid off yet. )
