DarkKnightReturns Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I wasn't understanding. The uncertified SS book can never be out of the sight of the witness, correct? They can't crack it in front of CGC, take it home, and re-cert at a later date? That's why I was wondering how CGC could guarantee it was the same book. If I had an SS book I wanted to read (I know. Just suspend your disbelief for a moment, okay.) I would have it cracked out by a CGC employee at the booth such as; Gemma, Bill (when he was there) or Joe. I would have to read the book at the booth and then resubmit it for Signature Series grading. It would still retain the yellow label. Not the best of scenarios convenience wise, but it does provide the opportunity to read, feel or smell a book that most believe to be forever off limits. Are you laughing while typing this Watson ? Who's really gonna do this Possible, yes. Ridiculous, very. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want the book just to crack and read, then you have no business buying an SS copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Man Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Guys, I have a pedigree question: do you know of any pedigree where the owner wrote an approx. 7-10 digit number (no discernible pattern or order) on the upper left corner of the front cover in pencil? A friend of mine recently acquired a small collection and a handful of very high grade (8.0 and higher) late SA / early BA Marvel books came with this marking on them. Any help would be appreciated! Seems to have been lost in the shuffle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Peds + sigs!! Killer books!! To me these books are no longer peds. Their ped history has been skewed. They were newsstand fresh OO comics but now they've got black marker on them. They are still the same books with the same provenance. I think the term "OO" is thrown around way to much. They ceased to be OO books the moment they were sold. Now they are just books with a solid history owned by someone who probably likes them the way they are. To each his own. Respectfully disagree in the case of pedigrees and signature series. Every comic is owned temporarily, and the owner is a custodian. For pedigree comics with a provenance, the custodial responsibility can be argued to be more important than the circumstance of the owner of the moment. According to this argument, preserving the provenance and historical nature of a pedigree comic is a responsibility of the custodian. To those holding this view, pressing and creator signatures run counter to the custodial responsibility. Would you really want a creator signature on a top census example of a rare GA comic from the Church collection? Disagree? Bob, I only stated facts. They are the same books. And the logic of temporary custodianship can applied to anything that anyone will ever own. Personally i dont care for HG SA books to even have so much as a date stamp or distributor spray, but if the owner likes and appreciates it, i say kudos and Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

namisgr Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 So there's been alot of discussion about the plethora of SA pedigrees coming to market. With the Savannah collection just being rolled out and books from two spanking new pedigrees to follow, it seems like a good time to rejuvenate this thread. Pleased with the quality of the inks and cover paper, with no tanning lines or apparent toasting: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
