7 dayskaptainmyke (24968): I would love to have a Gaines , Davis, Craig or Frazetta file copy of anything. What's funny is William Gaines inherited his father's publishing company and didn't want anything to do with it at first. His father, Max, died in a bizarre boating accident.

Thoughts on the new “Chinatown” pedigree.

CatmanAmerica

16

2 monthsCatmanAmerica (21114): There's also Mile High ( Edgar Church) which is a separate pedigree from the Denver pedigree. Two different collections coming from the same city can have different designations. I'm just suggesting that a reasonable argument could be made for third party grading companies reconsidering designations based on cultural sensitivity. Revising a pedigree should not be a big deal. .

11 monthsDarkseid_of_town (7813): Hard to even imagine the marvel universe today without TTA 27 honestly....it was intended as a horror story that then became a hero story secondarily. Ten cent cover, and truly one of the first marvel hero books before there were marvel hero books. November of 1961 saw the release of Fantastic four 1, and TTA 27 would follow almost immediately in January of 1962. As the character was retooled from being a horror type story into a more hero type...

TOM REILLY PEDIGREE a bit of proper history

BLBcomics

32

4 yearsOrbitCityComics (1483): It actually has to do with the way people pronounced the word detective. In the time Batman debuted the US was filled with newly arrived immigrants. They would struggle with DEtective, and shorthand it to DAtective, or just tective. How TEC27 was thought up COULD very well be based on this.

4 yearsResurrection (661): There are two types of people who grade comics. Those who can, and those who can't. The ones who can wanted to learn and spent time learning. My best suggestion is attend conventions, talk to reputable dealers, and of course send books to be graded. Write down your estimated grade, and defects you spot to determine your grade and compare to what grade you get and graders notes. CGC and CBCS grading is the industry standard now, so I suggest...
