Shark Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 western penn The same question keeps popping in my head every time I see a pedigree book: "How do you tell if a comic book is from a pedigree or not?" I know most of the Golden Age pedigree books have a certain type of marking or stamp on them. But how do you tell if a lot of these Bronze Age books are pedigreed books? Do they have markings too? Do they come with COAs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sufunk Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I have 10-15 slabbed pedigrees and only 1 of them came with a COA and that's a MH2 which isn't even a pedigree anymore. I have no clue how you're supposed to tell other than it saying so on the slab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl4ppy Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I recently bought a handful of raw Western Penn Miller Daredevil books. They each came with a COA, although it was just a print out. No signature, number, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no clue how you're supposed to tell other than it saying so on the slab Unfortunately, usually by a dealer who cant be bothered or a flipper who doesnt care pedigrees are separated from their COAs during slabbing.

All of my Peds came from either clink or CC auctions except for 2 eBay buys. The 1 COA I got came from one of the eBay buys. None of my clink or CC buys came with a COA, just the notation on the slab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the420kid Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 i bet that since there are so many Western Penn's out there they didnt bother with numbering the certs (werent there like 10,000 books?). CGC prob holds onto those certs so they can keep count - otherwise every book could potentially become a western penn copy. They are not very memorable certs to begin with either.

Not sure why but a lot of them seem to be surfacing lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the420kid Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 i was just going by the fact that i have certs from every other pedigree with the accompanying slabs. Never got a slabbed Western Penn with cert. Am I the only one? and yes i do have plenty of raw WP with certs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing but I've probably bought around 100 WP's in the last year including one's from Heritage and no cert's were provided. I'm just curious what a real cert looks like, do you have one handy?

Duffman_Comics Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Well now. That's a very "busy" background. Yet Vinnie "we don't need that, Stan" Colletta inked it. Makes me wonder what was omitted? Anyway enough of your fantastic high grade books, and allow me to pollute the thread with some more of my drek, to wit: The long march to Adventure continues. I must be sick to pay good money for the likes of these. Please also note the inability to maintain focus. One more appalling Doom Patrol book in the stash. Next up are Unearthly Spectaculars #1 (craptacular, actually), a pretty neat Strange Suspense Stories #77 (I have an abiding man-love for Ditko) and Two Gun Kid #70. A Marvel super-villain in a western setting. Finally, three Adventures (#429, 358 & 298).Filling more holes, and all the time wondering why I am doing it. Anyway, I now return you to your regular viewing of 9.8 stunners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
