The Selkirk Pedigree Thread 0

From Comicpedigrees.coM

The Selkirk collection consisted primarily of Golden Age, and surfaced about the time CGC opened their doors in 2000. A sample of from this collection was first sold on eBay when owner Tracy Henning from Washington state decided to test the waters for his "older comics." 

The collection consisted of almost 500 comics from the early '40s to early '50s with a wide mixture of genre and publishers. Many short runs were present from DC (Batman #3-#27, Detective, Superman) and Timely (All-Winners, Cap, Torch, Subby and Young Allies), as well as Fawcett, Nedor and Quality. The collection also contained many crime and Dell/Fawcett photo cover westerns, but surprisingly no horror or sci-fi. Though few people have heard about this collection, the condition of the books was impressive enough for CGC to seriously consider it for pedigree designation.

Better picture of the Batman 10 and Batman 16 from the same collection.  The ad called them out as from the Selkirk books which I didn't know anything about at the time, but they had me at "white pages"
