| From Pat: When things go up for sale it will be well publicized. I am actively working on a master list, although people who know me well know it's probably going to be a while. In the meantime I'll post scans to the pedigree site, the boards and such. For what it's worth of the graded copies: 354 (33%) are highest graded, of those 242 (22%) are one and only highest graded, and 71 tie with only one other book. 219 (20%) are second highest graded, of those 165 have only one copy higher. 453 (42.5%)have White pages 437 (41%). have Off-White to White pages And less the 5% of the comics have been pressed. |

Well, I still have one of the three second highest graded copies...    Note: CGC was in such a big friggin' hurry to claim bragging rights on this pedigree that ...at the moment... they still don't have the 9.6 copy logged into their Census (face-palm). . |

Go figure. I sent in 2 copies of this book. I was thinking the Western Penn copy was 9.4/9.6 and the other 9.8. The Western Penn came back 9.8 and the other 9.6 dooh! |

Got this one reholdered - this time with the pedigree notation. One of the few Crippen D copies that does not have the coding on the first page. |

| I don't think anyone has posted a New Hampshire book yet. I have a few raw New Hampshire's in the grading vortex as well. I am excited to get them back. They have some really cool covers. New Hampshire books are easy to spot. They are all Westerns and have the last 2 digits of the year (and sometimes the month) penciled somewhere on the cover.  |
