Thought nothing of it at the time but years later while looking at it again, I noticed all the check marks throughout. Although pretty low grade, I believe it is also “Cosmic” as well.

telerites Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) I forgot about this one. I am posting it even though it is in an alien slab because I have already submitted and it is CGC's hands for the cross-over special. I assume it will keep the designation but I haven't seen the interior as it was bought in the voldy.

If memory serves me, wasn’t this the first collection to be given a name and designated by collectors as a “pedigree”? No, it was the 2nd collection to be called a pedigree...according to the Pedigree website: COSMIC AEROPLANE The second earliest collection recognized as a pedigree, Cosmic Aeroplanes are famous for their distinct markings. Discovered in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1972, the collection was raided by a few collectors before being sold to David Faggiola, owner of the Cosmic Aeroplane Bookstore (hence the name). The books were subsequently and anonymously liquidated into the market. The collection was amassed by an art teacher during the ’40s and ‘50s to be used for demonstrative purposes for students. This is evident by the numerous checkmarks and notations written in pencil on the margins of each page, or on the cover. Because the collection had been assimilated long before the pedigree concept took hold, there are many unidentified in the market. Collectors enjoy the rush of discovering "lost" copies from the collection, an emotion similarly experienced by fans of the San Francisco, Okajima and Recil Macon pedigrees. There is no way of knowing the true size of the Cosmic Aeroplane collection, but it's rumored to be somewhere between 2,000 and 3,000. It yielded some big key issues like Adventure #40, Flash #1, and the Showcase #4 pictured on the cover of the 1992 Overstreet Grading Guide. The average grade of the collection is a bit lower than that of its fellow pedigrees, but the rumored size, presence of big keys, and easy identification has allowed the collection's legacy to prevail over the years. szucchini, sagii and Frisco Larson 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tri-Color Brian Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Although I visited the Cosmic Aeroplane store in SLC several times in the 70s, I never bought any of these books. I never even saw them...LOL but, I did buy my AF15 there, so I guess that counts for something... KobaltDog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
