No, pedigree refs are taken from all the non-CGC sources I

could find. It would be fantastic if CGC would add this to the

census!!

 

I'd like to do similiar stats for other series, but it is quite time

consuming since I have to go through about 30 auction catalogs

every time. If someone wants stat for a particular run, I'd be glad

to look it up (it would help me out if they could provide the Heritage

info).

I owned the Allentown Detective #29, it's a 9.6. The Det. #99 Mile High got a 9.8, i think the #92 Mile High got a 9.2, i sold that one 5 yrs ago.

 

 

Timely

 

Has the #29 been graded? Why don't people grade some of these pedigrees? Like the Allentown #27? ect...

Why spend $1000 bucks on grading plus the cost of transporting your $500,000+ comic book to Florida if you're not going to sell? It makes no sense. The people who own these books don't need CGC to tell them that they're nice...

Sorry. I wasn't giving out advice, though, I was just pointing out one reason why these books won't be graded anytime soon.

I know the Church 27 is something like a FN+; high grade but a large corner crease. Dave Anderson (OK) and Rob Rogovin both sold it within months of eachother about 7 years ago. (btw: the grade is what they both listed it as)

I've heard from several reliable sources that #27 was one of the issues

that EC bought second-hand and that these books generally are lower

grade. Some of them are marked "//" (a few of the other Detectives, not

#27, are shown in Gerber). Still, I did not include it in the list since I wanted

one of following types of documentation to minimize errors:

 

1) Sold by major auction house (Sotheby's, Christie's, All Star, Heritage,

Greg Manning, Hake's, Mastronet)

2) CGC graded (all entries taken from eBay were certified).

3) Non-certified copy offered by major dealer with picture that clearly

supports grade and pedigree.

4) The owner him-/herself provides documentation.

 

I've been planning to add my sources to each listing (along with a picture

when possible).
