After years of delays and promises, it looks like this is really gonna happen. Unless I’m mistaken, all of the detailed pedigree descriptions and personal histories have been removed from Matt Nelson’s Official Pedigree site. What remains are the covers of pedigreed books credited to those collectors who submitted them.

This suggests to me that the accumulated information on pedigrees, including all of the personal histories, is seen as having new proprietary value for book publication.

CGC management may have finally realized the marketing benefits of an official pedigree book and decided to get more directly involved in the project. This is purely speculation on my part, but the business potential has been pointed out in threads over on their boards. There are indications that this project is coming together with CGC’s full support (ergo the new “pedigree labels” being produced to encourage resubmissions).

I noticed the website has changed as well. A lot of stories have been scrubbed of cool details...like the body outline on the floor of the Bethlehem pedigree owner, etc. I have been waiting for this book for some time now and I am excited! I hope we see this sooner then later.

	Ward Batty who worked for Comic Shop News owned a comic book store for a short time period. This was in a magazine box sitting on the floor by the register and I thought it was cool. I bought it. Years later someone told me it was a pedigree from the Windy City collection. I'll take their word for it. It's evidently a later printing sold on newsstands. I acquired it without knowing it was a pedigree (if in fact it is). A lot of my scans are cropped for posting in cover galleries and such. The book is not as crisp around the edges with square corners as it may seem.
