Those aren't pedigrees. Those are books from a specific collection. A pedigree and a collection are two different things. From the collection of books aren't pedigrees. It's a title that denotes a certain book, purchased on the secondary market, once belong to the bearer of said collection.

What's also weird is the criteria on CGC include:
"The collection must be of vintage material. This means that a large collection consisting of comics from the 1970s to present cannot be considered a pedigree."

But then their description says:
"Don Rosa
A writer and illustrator for Disney that carried on the tradition of Carl Barks' famous works on Donald Duck, Rosa also assembled complete runs of every comic book published between 1966 and the late '80s, purchasing his books from local newsstands in Louisville, Kentucky. He decided to part with the 1970-present portion of his collection in 1995, sold through Steve Wyatt at San Diego Comic-Con that year. Rosa's remaining collection also contains a large, high grade accumulation of comics from the '50s, purchased complete by Rosa, which possibly represents a "pedigree within a pedigree." His collection has no identifying markings."

So the available books are all from the 70's and would seem to violate the criteria. I guess since he owns the rest of them it still counts? This is again why I think the one-size-fits all Pedigree label doesn't make any sense.
