mlansdown Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I have a Jumbo Comics #113 in 9.4 that I purchased from a collector who claims it is from the Allentown pedigree. Not marked as such on the slab. Is there an authoritative list of the Allentown books? Is there any way to tell if this book is actually from the Allentown pedigree? I love the book either way - just curious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the small number of books in this pedigree, I assume most of the Allentown books are accounted for - but it never hurts to ask... buttock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the book either way - just curious... That one isn't on the list I have, and is much later than any other books in the collection. +1 Based upon my list of the 135 books, it definitely looks like this late issue of Jumbo Comics is not on the Master Allentown Collection List. Then again, it's quite possible the list might not have been 100% accurate (or a possible simple typo) since I saw another book posted here already that's been slabbed by CGC as an Allentown Copy, but yet does not show up on their Master List. I believe the Allentown Collection is only supposed to have 10 Fiction House books in there, but if you include this one here, it would bring it to a total of 12 Fiction House books.
