John G. Fantucchio pedigree 3 3

[Xenosmilus]

I was never really into Pedigree collecting but I have to say Fantucchio's collection is amazing and has changed my mind!  His Pedigree should add value to any book!  I have a few of his Where Monsters Dwell and Sub-Mariner's and they look awesome.

late to the paper quality issue.  Most newsprint was manufactured to professional standards that allowed some variance in tone quality. But overall its manufacture was a chemical derived process. Therefore any overages or underages of ingredients within batches of paper would lead to color variances from whitish to yellowish right from the printer and throughout its lifetime/existence whether in a magazine, or comicbook. Meaning that each huge roll of newsprint will age differently related to its contents at time of manufacture PLUS its storage/temperature conditions --- in their warehouses, in transport to printers, sitting in printer inventory AND in collections.  

chances are good that Sparta would rarely reject a roll based on its whiteness alone, nor would off white tones constitute rejection and returns, preferring to just run the presses as is to make deadlines.
