wasnt there only one copy in 9.4 and three in 9.2?

well, I glanced at the census and now there are TWO.

who's remembers whats what on this?

thanx

I just looked at the census and there's only one 9.4. If there were two before, it's back to one. Strange, huh?

hm Did the number of restored 9.4s change? Maybe a new restored 9.4 was accidentally entered into the universal 9.4 column by mistake?

I just checked Greg Holland's website and there were definitely 2 universal 9.4s on the 06/05/07 census. But I don't see restored copies listed on the site.

Now that I think about it, I'd never noticed any restored 9.4 copies of Hulk 1, but there are 3 in the latest Census. So this just keeps getting stranger. hm

What I know about the Janowicz collection is from the writeup in the Heritage May Signature auction. Joe Janowicz started buying books in the fifties, and bought back issues of Golden Age books as well, but many were apparently left behind when the family moved. He started buying again in the sixites. Auctioned books include ASM1, which graded at 9.0 and sold for $31K, a 5.5 copy of AF15, a 7.5 copy of DD1, an 8.0 copy of GL1, a 5.5 copy of IH1, and 7.0 copies of Showcase 22-24. Many of the other Spideys from this collection were ultra high grade and went for astronomical (insane?) record prices.

 

The collection, therefore, doesn't appear to be of the uniform high grade needed to garner pedigree status. With that said, the color preservation and registration on these books is great, and the early Bronze books are as nice as I've ever seen.

We also know from the Heritage write-up that Joe and his son are partial to muscle t-shirts. foreheadslap.gif

 

On a serious note, I've noticed the uniformly high PQ on his books. Lots and lots of slabs with the "white" page notation. The level of preservation seems to be uniformly high as well, although I've heard some complaints that CGC was a bit generous with some of the structural grades.

 

Why doesn't that surprise me? Large collections that are sent to CGC probably under Heritage's adminstration (don't know for sure) and the grades are generous, how many times have we heard that before. Why would that be, I mean who could possibly benefit from doing that. :whistle:

Hey, I'm new to the Collector's Society. But I noticed the question about the Janowicz Collection auctioned by Heritage. I just won (and received) the FF1 and wanted to let the Society know about it if interested.

 

Can you attach comic scans to this network?

If interested in details on the Janowicz Collection at the Heritage Auction, see my comments in CGC/Comics General/August Heritage Auction.../pages 3-4.

 

You can also see the FF1 I purchased (a Janowicz book). A nice scan is there on page 3 of the same section. Thanks.
