Straw-Man Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 Wow,seems like only yesterday when you decided to chase the pedigrees.I know you had the Caps and the MM 12 for a long time,but which book was your 1st new pedigree specifically purchased for the set? It's just wonderful to see them all on one thread Billy,you must be very proud. the allentown and the aurora were nabbed on the same day. when i bought the mystery men 11, i wasn't yet on the fox-thru-7/40-run. the idea of the ped type set was bouncing around in my head, and then i saw the allentown in a c'link auction--knew it was a small hoard ped, and figured i'd better go after that book. once that trigger was pulled, i saw that the rangers was ending in a few minutes--seemed too serendipitous to pass up. that was in '06; tho' i already had several of the peds in my timely and others runs, just cuz they filled a hole, once i was devotedly onto the type set it took over 3 years to do it. it was the mm 11 that kinda got me ruminating on the fox run, which i'm still 4 books short of. i am proud of them; thanks, geek.

Straw-Man Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 i only have 2 g.a. double-covers, and one is a ped--i shoulda included it on the crippen entry, so here it is late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straw-Man Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 i bought a bunch of the crippen cheslers, as just as i was starting to collect that publisher, the sunday nite auctions were full of them. some were high grade--i must have bought 15 of 'em or so.

Straw-Man Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 Never saw that cover before, love it. thanks, surfer, i like it too. my preference would be to have a s/h bethlehem that fits into one of my timely runs, and there are a few atlas ones, a subby or two and an astonishing/marvel boy cover. but, they're pricey and i've been too tight to upgrade my books for the ped.
