This is probably my favorite thread on the boards, and I’m always happy when I can contribute to it. Here’s Comics Magazine (Funny Pages) #3, from July, 1936. Paper stock including covers, like a handful of early comics were in 1935/6. 6 blues on the census.

Love it, rarely shared early one.

At this time there are 9 copies of Diary Secrets 26 on the census. Soon there'll be one more. (Sticker is on the bag, not the book.)

Very nice early Ped pick up there!:headbang:

Thank you!  I wrote a little more about it in the Lost Valley Pedigree thread and @LouFine gave me a bit of the backstory on it.  I was very fortunate with that win.

It is going in the collection next to my Church Book and along with my Crippen "D" and others.  I think I am up to about 22-25 different pedigrees in my collection.  The goal is to have one from each, but I know it is very unlikely I will ever have a Larson or Allentown book to name a few.  Some of those are simply WAY out of my class.  I haven't seen any of the Chinatown books out yet, but I have hope.  

I also have a book from Bethlehem, Promise, and maybe a few other GA collections.  I just can't remember off the top of my head.

But yeah, I had to take a shot at getting that Lost Valley book and I got it, so pretty stoked about that!

Very nice!!! (worship)

I was eye-balling a ped here on the boards recently, but I opted for a Jungle Comics #90 instead.  I'll post pics when I have it.

I'll find me a nice pedi one of these days.  It has to strike a cord with me though...I won't buy just anything in order to say 'I have a pedigree comic, therefore I am cool. lol

Well, as I have stated in other threads - my target is to have one book from each pedigree.  I don't care if it's the worst condition copy on the census.  Thus far, this 5.5 may be the lowest grade of the pedigree books I own currently.  I am probably around 25 pedigree books, plus my file copies which may or may not be considered pedigree books.  I have a few duplicates within a pedigree (a couple of Circle 8's and a couple of Winnipegs).  But I don't buy them to be cool, I buy them because that's my collecting target.  I do have three or four which I need to send off for grading sometime soon.

Anyone got any other cheap pedigree books??

You should be able to pick up a Larson that is within your means.  Although it is a very strong pedigree overall, it includes lower grade copies of low demand books.

So far I have only seen one that is currently listed on eBay.  He had it at $1000 or best offer, but that's down to $800, which is still more than I can do right now, but I have hopes that it might drop some more.

That particular book is from 1943, which is a bit later than most of the Larsons seem to be - as I have read, although I know there could be outliers.

If you have other leads, please send them my way!!

edit: Other ones I am keeping my eyes on are Don Rosa, Twin Cities, Suscha News, although those are all SA or later.  I know that the Okajima's are likely to be well beyond what I can swing as well.

Never understood why Shadow is not more popular. While everyone else is overpaying for that limited cover and this Convention exclusive I got this on EBay for cheap. Only six on the census. Can't wait to hold it and read it. Hey Bacon I have your book.:baiting:
