OO COLLECTIONS

[Flaming_Telepath]

Let's face it.. it's hard to prove the provenance of OO books anyway.

...

40 years later, no one can prove it wasn't purchased via my regular method. Still OO.

 

Finally someone gets it. This OO stuff is so much nonsense.

 

All that's really important is do the books LOOK like they're OO - all high grade, similar condition, long runs, similar date stamps, what-have-you. Any story you believe beyond that about where the books may have been purchased from is just good for entertainment value because it's largely unverifiable.

 

If you want verifiable, you pretty much have to have every comic somehow uniquely marked by the retailer.

 

I'm agreeing with some of this, but the part about 'all high grade' is incorrect. An OO collection could be all in VG-...or grades could be all over the board. It's one of the difference between OO and Pedigree.

 

Would anyone even care to wonder about whether a pile of VG comics were OOs? Doesn't seem like an important distinction at that level.

 

Good point, and generally nobody would care. However, it would still remain an OO collection.

 

Just not one likely to be in high demand.
