The goldish hue is a little more prevalent in this image than the previous one posted... Label aside. The book! Eldon pedigree ? as in Dedini ?

Callaway29 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) 9 minutes ago, Gotham Kid said: Eldon pedigree ? as in Dedini ? I had the same question, CGC says the following: Even though it appears the Eldon collection surfaced in the late '80s, CGC did not officially recognize it as a pedigree until recently. The size of the collection is unknown, but many comics from the '40s have surfaced over the years with the name "Eldon" written on the cover in pen, either printed or in cursive. Subsequent research has revealed that his last name was Hamman, born in 1934 in Iowa, and he served in the Army during the Korean War. He passed away in 1987, likely leading to the sale of his collection. Many rare and key issues were present, including a Captain America Comics #1. But there are also discussions on the boards that suggest otherwise: I suppose CGC trumps any discussions, considering they issue the pedigree designations and all...although they're basically saying they don't know either.

Aman619 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I like the gold “ metallic” labels, Simple, but with a touch of class. Short of using actual gold foil(!) this is a simpler solution and quite effective way to stand out and signify how special pedigree copies are to the hobby. of course If too many scans make the gold look like washed out puke green.. like the sample in this thread. well, that wouldn’t be so nice.

I liked the metallic illusion as well, but what was produced looks like they couldn’t decide so they met somewhere in the middle between silver/gold/gray...now it’s just a muted blah... Whatever, I suppose we shouldn’t care about this anyways...biggest thing at this point is to STOP changing it. Don’t want too many variants floating around on the market...

RedGiant Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Interesting that the new label doesn't look like what's on CGC site (gold), but is kind of a hybrid between gold and silver. Not sure why mine came back silver though The Lions Den 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aman619 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 yeah, some scans so far look grayer... all in all, its a clean look, and, lets face it - compared the other grading companies, CGC still has the best looking labels. Not an award winning look, but the others are just... well, you know. hard to believe! The Lions Den 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagii Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) These Label make books that were already standouts in their raw state, POP in a just as wonderful way: Now you know, scoping out wall books from a distance at a show, or browsing on line, the color of the Label tells you right off it's a book from a storied provenance. Now you just need Superman's telescopic vision to tell which one when looking for a far or before you click on the pic if not stated in the listings text On a related notes, what's going on with the Okajima Pedigree? Gang Busters sales results even on low to mid grade books on eBay recently (even on non keys) when compared to other Peds in those grades Edited February 9, 2020 by sagii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the new label. The new gold label. Obviously it does not present exactly how it looks on the site, or even close to it for that matter. I understand it is more of a gold/bronzish tint. It is not the same as the previous "new" pedigree black/white label. I like the label, but this book is fantastic!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
