I thought CGC had stopped regarding Circle 8 as a legit pedigree? They changed their minds again, or what? Apparently they did. I raised that point in the thread on the new pedigrees. I could have sworn that CGC wiped out Circle 8 around the same time they wiped out Mile High II because both were warehouse finds rather than true peds. Mile High II has not been brought back, though. Whoever consigned that book was clearly in on the ground floor with respect to getting the new ped slabs. Ritter seemed to almost instantly have them on his site, within (I think) a day or two of the public announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah doesn't make sense. This copy looks to have sold raw on HA in 2016, which was after the defrocked the Circle 8 I think? Otherwise I would have thought it was maybe already slabbed and said Circle 8, and just reholdered, and that they may have been grandfathering old books with the ped notation.

Have talked to him a few times about it, an amazing amazing find and he's got some great stories about it...but it was surplus leftovers warehoused by store owner. In no way is it a collection.

It is puzzling because it made sense to wipe it out and the Mile High II books and at least one other collection that I'm forgetting. The ped designation really should be reserved for true OO collections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure I sent in a raw book with Circle 8 marking and didn't get the ped indicated on the label but I think at that point I knew they wouldn't. Be useful if they explained these things! As discussed in the other thread, it's also puzzling that the Cookeville books got the ped designation. Great collection with some keys but many (bordering on most) of the books are in mid-grade. Not many I've seen are in 9.0 or greater. That used to mean the collection wasn't eligible for ped status. Come to think of it, are there any Cookeville Bakers? I can't recall seeing Cookeville romance books although there are some teen humor books in the collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Love Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Can't recall any Cookeville Bakers either, would be very surprised. As far as 6th Street - I thought this info was lost, but now it's found. Ebay romance from 6 years ago. There are more; books that were graded and listed but pulled (PR 19 as mentioned), books that were graded but never listed, books that were never graded. Maybe 100 or so in all. It's been a long time and you'd think the warring parties would have resolved their legal issues and the books would surface but they haven't. Some of these books went to at least six astute boardies. The TR 33 is one of those, but it will never leave his graspy hands, and believe me I've tried! Total sales $15,839 Average grade 6.8 Average price $546 sacentaur, szav, Yorick and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Love Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 And just one outside of Ebay before the party ended - there was the 6th St GCE 12 7.0 that went for $9,300 in August 2013. No one of our crowd ever claimed ownership...yet. And speaking of which - where to set the under/over for the upcoming 8.0? 25K? Sqeggs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I chatted with Matt but was too focused on keeping the Salida in their pedigree list. They were concerned that so few of them had been slabbed to wonder whether it was something invented by Ellsworth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem with Poughkeepsie File Copies, Gaines File Copies, Harvey Copies being on the list. Circle 8 is fine as well. I am more concerned with the quality of the books than the original owner aspect. I do realize that some pedigrees may be in higher demand because of the OO story (e.g. Okajima) but I don't think that should be a factor in deciding whether to include/exclude them from the list.

Popular Post 29dukedog Posted July 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2019 The seller of the 6th Street books posted these scans here on the boards around Feb., 2014, and I took the liberty of saving them. At the time, most of these had yet to be graded. It was a 'glimpse of things to come', supposedly. But soon after, all sales activity stopped. So, this group will likely include many of the issues that have never been offered for sale, to this day. sacentaur, Sqeggs, Point Five and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Tar 12 that we have discussed here, looks incredible. The highest graded copy, a mere 4.5, just sold on CLinl for over $900.00. Most of us would love to get our hands on that copy, and just about all the others. At the time I thought the 6th Street prices were ridiculous. Now they're a joke.
