tth2 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Should I crack it out ot the case or leave it so CGC knows it's a Diamond Run book? Won`t make any difference, since CGC doesn`t recognize the DR pedigree anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Daddy Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 So what Pedigree has the most complete JLA run in it besides Ricks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tth2 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Great question. Pedigreed SA JLAs have been notable for their absence from the public market. I have never seen a Western Penn, White Mountain, Mass or Curator JLA. If they exist, they've never been brought to market as such to my knowledge. Given the love of the WM OO for sci-fi related covers, you'd think there must be some WM JLAs. I own the Bethlehem MIS #75, but have never seen any Bethlehem JLAs. I've seen the odd Northland and Diamond Run, but never seen anything approaching a run. The only recognized pedigree that has anything approaching a big run of JLAs is Pacific Coast, which seems to have a pretty complete run beginning from 21 or so. I don't recall seeing earlier issues, although I would be happy to be corrected on that count. The PC JLAs are unbelievable and probably average 9.6 if not higher, and not only represent most of the current top of census copies but there are also more than a few doubles. In yet another chapter in the book "It's Impossible to Ever Understand Robert Roter", he kept a lower grade PC JLA #24, one of the toughest books to find in high grade, and sold the better copy raw on eBay, which I was fortunate enough to win and later slabbed as a 9.8. There of course is an as yet unrecognized pedigree which currently stands above all other JLA pedigrees known thus far, and that would be the David Toth pedigree. As far as I can tell, it's pretty much complete in terms of the earlier issues, and includes the B&B issues (including a 9.2 copy of #28). Average grade must be at least 9.4, with many of the toughest early issues represented in 9.4 or higher, including #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash105 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 That run alone should get Toth recognized as a pedigee. Those are impossible books in grade to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLA_ALL_THE_WAY Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Wish I could remember who I bought my earliest issues from, but I never keep that detailed amount of info on the books. The earliest book I have from a known source is my #21 9.2 OW-W, which I picked up courtesy of Mile High back in '88. I believe it came with one of those "mile-high collection" certificates, but since I don't care about those things...I tossed it. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim, I think there was a Bethlehem JLA #1 CGC 8.5 that sold on ComicLink...maybe a year ago or so...it had a date stamp on the front cover...

spookley Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Thanks for the info. So who is this David Toth? BD, I believe he was a Canadian Doctor that collected comics in the late 50's and early 60's...I know there was a JLA #1 CGC 9.4...I remember that he has a son who also collects (I think the son was more into Marvel than DC).... If you want to know more, check out the heritage website...there may be more of an official biography Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperheart Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 unbelievable prices in this Sunday's Heritage Auction. 8-11x guide for a few 9.6's, issues #65,66,70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tth2 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 unbelievable prices in this Sunday's Heritage Auction. 8-11x guide for a few 9.6's, issues #65,66,70 Rick got a great deal from me on a 9.6 #78 then. Seems like the action was mostly in the later issues, though. The prices for the earlier issues were not particularly impressive, even though there were a decent number of 9.6s. On the other hand, a 9.6 #28 went for $1800 in one of the recent Sunday auctions, which was amazing. The February Heritage Auction previews are showing a very nice run of JLAs, it will be interesting to see how they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spookley Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I can't believe these auction prices...anything in high-grade is going for more and more money I have many of the later numbered JLA's....maybe they will go for $1000+ if I wait a couple more months...
