Bingo!

Nowadays I'd say everybody but PGX has some say because we all use the same basic criteria. It just depends who the owner initially brings the books to I guess. I have no problem with CBCS determining a new pedigree and marketing it like CGC has. CGC doesn't have a monopoly on naming new pedigrees.

So what you're saying is that CBCS might recognize a certain collection as a pedigree, but CGC might say, "Nah, I don't think so."
So then where are we?
Joe could say, "Look at this comic. It's part of the X pedigree."
And Bill would say, "Yeah, no. The X collection is not a pedigree."
Joe would say, "Oh yes it is. CBCS says so."
And Bill would say, "Who cares if CBCS says so? Nobody else does."

As long as everyone follows the criteria this should not happen. If this did happen I think buyers would vote with their wallets. As noted Steve set up the pedigree criteria for both CGC and CBCS so I don't see there being a huge difference/problem.

Originally,collections were deemed pedigrees because of market acceptance.

The market, the comic buying public had the final say.

^^^^ this
$$ talks - the "promise" collection is for sure famous - was it a manufactured fame =yes! is it the same pedigree as other pedigrees = no
But all those people who spent big $$ on the "promise" collection have said with a big YES that they will treat it as a real pedigree despite the dubious nature of the "promise" collection

If some other organization Hertiage/Hakes or other auction house or other grading company (CBCS) "found" a new pedigree and hyped the sh!t out of it and the market dumped cash into it thereby verifying it - other grading companies etc. would basically have no choice but to also recognize it

I'm not sure what you think this proves. It's exactly the same as what I posted. Basically "it's a Pedigree because it's famous."

I think this is right on unfortunately, which is kind of the point I was trying to make. I think a neutral third party or more transparency about how a collection qualifies would benefit the industry. The market can only act rationally with sufficient information. If not all Pedigrees are equal then that's OK I guess, but maybe that classification needs to be refined to reflect that.

It's not the same at all. The specific use of the word "outstanding" changes the meaning and, along with the non-pedigree warning, indicates a criteria about 20 years before you said we had one. Plus, why would a collection be "famous" in the first place? Because it's a large, high grade collection with lots of keys. Those are 3 criteria we still use today.

Can you imagine if Chuck found his Mile High II collection in todays world??
Pretty sure it isn't a "recognized" collection/pedigree but today - today - with all the on-line auction houses and at least 2 reputable grading companies??

100 - bazillion% they would make a deal to only grade with X company and sell through X auction house the top of the top of those books and the 24hr media machine, fanboy world would loose it's sh!t at all those comics discovered = instant fame!!
Would it be a "true" collection or "pedigree" -not a chance in heck.
Could you dupe collectors into paying a premium for vintage 9.8's that were previously not on the market - ummmmm....yeah....

Mark my words - when they find Amelia Earhart's plane and it turns out her only reading material was 100's of comics - someone will slap that on a label and collectors will pay through the nose for it!

You're kind of proving my point. Outstanding adds literally nothing to the definition. Does that mean "super" famous then? How exactly would one quantify that?

And before you argue that such things can't be quantified, take a look at this. It looks like the work on this is on pause but it's really impressive. This is the kind of data that should be made available for every candidate collection.

it's also how the collection came to be. i.e. one person bought all the issues when newly released
This is why the Mile High II never reached collection/pedigree status - Chuck bought them all second hand and the books were never available for sale to the public but were instead basically books bought as a scam to get free $$ from the publishers - famous - yes, high grade - yes, large - yes.....pedigree - no

Yup original owner would be the 4th criteria.
MHII was a pedigree for many years, but CGC finally came to their senses and stopped believing Chuck's bullshit.

Chuck bought pallets full of supposedly destroyed comics from the mob.
Allegedly.

LOL. Dude I posted it, of course I know who wrote it.

I don't know if you're intentionally missing the point or not but either way I have no interest in arguing with you any further. I've made a note of your "double secret outstanding probation" criteria for classifying Pedigrees so I think we're good here. Thanks for the notes.

Masculinity takes a holiday. EbayMafia private msg quote post Address this user
Starting to realize that so much of the worlds "wealth" is just a Ponzi Scheme of perception. In that nothing is really based on facts and provability and all value is just dependent on the next buyers willingness to accept the story that is being sold. Bitcoin, NFT's, Pedigrees, fiat currencies, college educations, 9.8s, hot Modern comic books...it's like the value of everything is just reliant on continued acceptance of the current narrative. Only things like land, structures and tools/equipment have true undeniable value.

As for the Mile High 2 collection.
At CGC we did not recognize "collections", so it got a pedigree designation instead. Which we decided after a bit to get rid of it's pedigree designation.
The books were in fantastic condition and deep runs with multiple copies.
It also had the 1st SA 10 we ever gave out at CGC. Sweet book.

What about "from the collection of Dallas Stephens" original label aka "From the Dallas Stevens/MileHighComics.com Collection"?

That's my point. All of the books posted above were slabbed when Steve was president of CGC 2000-2008 👍

I don't know about the Pedigree but I think we can all agree that's one of the best covers of all time.
