kc120us Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Is there anyway for you to get verification, Red? Possible GR candidate..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Hook Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Not unless another verified GR comes around with the same date. I would put this conservatively at about 80% likely, without that final bit of verification. From the condition I would say it might have come from Craig Barnett's store in Seattle in the early 90's, but then again, it might just be a book that survived sale through the store back in the 1960's.....but that's less likely. I recently picked up a reader copy of TTA #68 that I believe is a non-pedigree book that sold through the original drug store. I have a 9.0 pedigreed copy of the same book. They both have identical date stamps....I will be posting large scans of both side by side to show why pedigree books are as special as they are to have survived the decades, and what happens to the average book. They both arrived in the same bundle, on the same day, but one book took the road less travelled. Once I have the beater copy in hand, I'll post them.

Wally's Comics Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 could be just another lunatic with a red date stamper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Hook Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Of course.....but like I've said before....all red date stamps are not alike. They're like fingerprints, if you know how to read 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
