The "unofficial" pedigrees

[DKB]

Someone help me out. What are the various reasons the following collections did not receive pedigree status:

 

Monterey

 

Golden State

 

Slobodian

 

Cleveland

 

Edenwald

 

Sid's Luncheonette

 

And do you know for sure why, or has the community just sorta offered its best guesses as to the reason? Did they simply not apply to become one?

Why not add "Sid's Luncheonette"?

Why not add "Sid's Luncheonette"?

I think so!

[DKB]

I didn't mention it if only because its had quite a bit of conversation about it lately. But sure, Sids!

 

I mostly wanted this thread to contain all the answers about what's up with these collections. In one place. Handy reference and whatnot.

 

Can add Edenwald too.

Several factors would affect those "pedigrees" from being recognized by CGC as a pedigree.

 

Inventory records incomplete

issues were not high grade copies

Owner/Buyer did not mass submit them to CGC for pedigree label

collection did not contain key issues, complete runs, or consistent quality.

Someone help me out. What are the various reasons the following collections did not receive pedigree status:

 

Golden State

Inadequate documentation by the dealer that discovered the collection, Dan Greenhalgh. He didn't even issue certificates of authenticity for them as he did with the Winnipegs.

 

Slobodian

From what I've heard, it's because there were non-OO books mixed into the collection. Given CGC's willingness to recognize the Central Valley pedigree, where no one even knows who the OO is or whether all the books indeed come from one OO, I'm now not sure why that was even a factor.

 

Sid's Luncheonette

Conjecture has always been because the keys were only mid-grade. Given CGC's willingness to recognize the Central Valley pedigree, which has almost NO keys, high grade or low grade, I'm now not sure why that was even a factor.
