The Palo Alto Pedigree Thread 0

[exitmusicblue]

Anyone got some?  I'll post mine up here later !

From myslabbedcomics.com: "This collection whose main focus is 1950s comics was the first to be named a pedigree by CGC after they opened their doors in 2000.  Known for bright, glossy covers and near white pages this collection was accumulated by two miltary men and has the distictition of being safely stored and moved before being brought to market 45 years later by dealer Lee Hester."

I don't think I have any of those. I much prefer the pedigree collections that are "marked" in some way. They are beautiful books though.

Another awesome thing about this pedigree is that Lee Hester had Jack Davis do the artwork for the certs   :

Beautiful book and great certificate. Still feel nostalgic for the original CGC labels, too. The first CGC book I ever bought, back in the summer of 2000 was from the Palo Alto Collection. I had joined ebay just because Lee’s auctions.
