Latest addition to my Personal Collection - thought I would share 0

[PDGray]

So, I don't have a great budget, but absolutely love picking up books from the different pedigrees when I can.  I just picked up this Hit Comics #42 from the Ohio Pedigree.  It came in yesterday and I am super-excited about it.  It is only graded a 7.5, but for book from September of 1946 I think that's pretty good!

Still looking for more relatively inexpensive pedigree books if anyone knows of any coming up for sale.  My target is to have one book from each of the recognized pedigrees.  There are some which I know I will never own, but that's ok.  I do this for fun - not to resell or make a fortune.

Personally, I think 7.5 is a great grade level to aim for.  You can get very nice presenting comics, and you don't pay the huge premium that goes into effect when you get much higher. It's a sweet spot. 

White pages is a huge bonus too. I personally will accept ow-w and ow.  I stay away from cream.

I have managed to luck into a few other GA pedigree books since I started this particular venture.  I have become very intrigued by all of these particular collections.  So, these are a few others I have managed to snag.  I have probably posted most of these pics here before, but just to put them all together is kind of fun!

I have more silver/bronze pedigrees, but these GA books are the ones I have pics of with me at the moment - I may have a few other GA books, but can't remember at the moment.  Maybe I should do a pedigree only thread unless there is one already?  AND if anyone has any historical information on any of these, or can point me in the direction of the relevant threads I HOPE to one day do a video series on each of the pedigree collections - I have read a LOT on all of these, but always want more information so I can do it the RIGHT way - when I have time of course.  I plan to use the books in my own collection and whatever resources I can find to tell these stories in a video format.

As well, if anyone knows of any lower grade or less expensive books that belong to pedigrees I may not have - point me in the right direction!!

Slowly, one book at a time.  Fortunately, the books I have picked up aren't the usual Super-Hero genre that carry those huge premiums.  Not that many people fight over the Westerns or the Romance books, or even Tarzan.  But I lucked out with the Master Comics as that is obviously a Hero book, but I think that it being in the CBCS case didn't really help it bring a higher premium.  When I happened upon that Tarzan I thought that it was a spectacular book, but again, not a highly sought after title, so it was a HUGE win for me with it being a 9.6.

I completely agree with you on every count.  I don't mind even the cream pages as I am just overjoyed to have any pedigree book in any condition!!  Or even any GA book, regardless of condition.  I try to preserve them all, as I consider myself the caretaker of the book(s) for the next generation of collectors.

Forgot I had added this Lost Valley Tip Top 62 recently.  Again, I think I posted this somewhere else on the board, but posting it here just for fun.

and if there are 10 or fewer copies on the CGC census (like your Hit #42) post them in my thread:

Ok, good to know!

I have had this account for years, but still consider myself a newb as I haven't posted a whole lot.
