| From the Comic Book Pedigrees site ***** WINDY CITY PEDIGREE One of four pedigree collections to contain all #1 issues, the Windy City is by far the largest, numbering over 2000 comics. It also covers a span of time nearly unparalleled in pedigreed collections, running from the '30s up through the '60s. Even the sale itself was eight years in the making, causing Gary Colabuono, the top bidder for the collection, many a sleepless night. Nearly every #1 issue imaginable is in there, such as Marvel Comics #1 (CGC 9.0), Captain America #1 (CGC 8.5), Batman #1, Flash #1, Captain Marvel #1, All-Winners #1, Daring Mystery #1 and Whiz #1. But there was no copy of Action #1, the ultimate key issue conspicuously absent from all but three of the 45 pedigreed collections covered here. Just like the various titles represented in the Windy City collection, so are the grades of each book. Many were bought second-hand by the owner, Andy Wallace (whose name appears on nearly 1/4 of the comics), an introverted postal worker who lived with his sister. Because the collection entered the market in 1986, long before the pedigree concept had become part of the hobby's landscape, most of the books made their way into private collections anonymously. CGC has only graded slightly more than 50 Windy City copies to date, a paltry 3% of the overall collection. Like the Okajima and Cosmic Aeroplane pedigrees that were assimilated without recognition, unidentified Windy City copies could be sitting in your collection right now. *****  |

Quote:Originally Posted by southerncross Probably. I remember his Action Comics #1 was stolen. He collected the insurance on it and it was found years later in a storage locker. They were actually gonna make a movie of it. Wonder what happened to that? https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/nicolas-cage-action-comics-no-1-movie-jason-statham-297787 |

Quote:Originally Posted by 00slim Take a closer look at this pedigreed jewel, posted earlier in the thread. The trifecta is that it's also part of the R. Cat Conrad Collection...    |
