rob_react Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I know that there are books from the Silver Age, but 1976? I don't have record of anything past 1966. https://comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?back=%2FAUCTIONS%2FSEARCH.ASP%3FFocusedOnly%3D1%26where%3Dauctions%26title%3Djustice%2Bleague%26ItemType%3DCB%23Item_1392949&id=1392949&itemType=0 ThothAmon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Jennifer F. Posted April 24, 2020 Administrator Share Posted April 24, 2020 Good afternoon, Thanks for your message. I checked this particular book in our census and it appears that we have graded several of this title and date. You can check it by entering the certification number on our certification lookup on our website at www.cgccomics.com. You could also check online for this particular title and date. If you have any other questions, please let us know. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_react Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 Hi, you missed the point of the question. It would help to get a comics expert to look at this. I'll explain, anyway- there's a notation on the label indicating that it's from the Edgar Church/Mile High pedigree. It's very specific and very popular provenance. IT's literally the best collection ever amassed. It's mostly a Golden Age collection (1938 through the mid-1950s, basically) with a hundred or issues (Dells, mostly) running until 1966. This comic is from 1976, two years before Edgar Church died and ten years after the last Church copy I know of (the link I posted earlier is to a research project I did cataloging every known book in the Church collection.). This is unlikely to actually be an Edgar Church copy. Hutch88, roach04 and ThothAmon 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wipple Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 My guess is mile high II. Also not a recognized pedigree anymore. Maybe a reholder, too lazy to look up census. vheflin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin.J Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 It would be good to see an answer to this before that auction ends and someone less in the know buys a book he thinks is something its not, you would think Comic link would question it ?

Maybe CL is well aware that it's clearly not a Mile High copy from the famed Edgar Church Collection and the reason why there's no mention of this in their auction description. Or for the CGC label collectors, here's a chance for you to acquire a copy of a Edgar Church "labelled slab" on the cheap for your personal collection.

That was my thought as well. This may be a Mile High II book, not a real Church copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
