Set Description
This is my collection of pedigree and other special noted comics

Set Goals
The goal is to have on issue from each pedigree or special notation the CGC list. Most likely never to be completed as I don't have the time or money to get some of the smaller pedigrees.

Bethlehem pedigree Space War 1 9.4 Highest graded. One of only three graded this high. Bethlehem pedigree. I was a strong bidder on this eBay comic, I willing to pay a bit more than I got it for, so that makes me one happy camper. Stories are- "Abandon Spaceship," "The Sun Maker," "Planet of No Return," and "Moon Trap." Dick Giordano cover. Cover price $0.10. View Comic
Bethlehem pedigree. Space War 4 9.4 Do not like the layout of this cover, everything looks to be out of proportion. The title seems to small, the Comics Code box seems to big, the Disneyland ad seems out of place, the story title looks to big for the bottom of the page, and the white cover is the worst. Okay, that may be a little harsh but I do love the panel on the first page. Typical Charlton art work having the word ROCKET on the rocket. Also like how Steve put his last name on the piece of space debris. View Comic
Bethlehem pedigree. Space War 5 Universal 9.0 Steve Ditko cover and one story. Both of the inside covers are blank, couldn't find anyone to buy an ad for there I guess. Nice, that may be the wrong word, picture of Hitler on the first page. Another Heritage pick-up for $105, did I really pay that much for this book? Oh well, it is a Bethleham pedigree and has art work by Ditko and has a Hitler picture and is 48 years old and is a 9.0 with OW/W pages and came with the Beth. certificate, I guess it was worth it. View Comic
Bethlehem pedigree. Space War 6 Universal 8.5 Nice S. Ditko cover along with some art work inside. This Bethleham book has a date stamp (May 12 1960) in the word "WAR" and came with the Beth pedegree cert. which ani't much, doesn't even list the book that goes with it. View Comic
Bethlehem pedigree. Space War 9 Universal 9.0 Okay, a rather big cat floating around in space, not going to happen. I like how the artist put the space rockets ID# NOV161960 across the whole ship. Another Bethleham book. How can you go wrong with a comic that has a picture of a butt-head. View Comic
Bethlehem pedigree. Space War 10 Universal 7.0 Another Ditko cover on this Bethleham pedigree book. Nice atomic bomb blast cover. A Heritage Auctions pick for $66. I love this panel as it reminds me of my favorite cover- Frontline Combat #10. View Comic
Bethlehem pedigree. Space War 19 Universal 9.0 This is my favorite cover. The art work on the giant robot with the shadowing on its back looks great. On the inside it's a differant story. The splash page doesn't really get me to geared-up to read the story. A date stamp above Mr. Robots head and a slight dust shadow cost this book from being a 9.2 or .4 I think. View Comic
Bethlehem pedigree. Space War 21 Universal 9.0 Another Heritage pick-up which I paid way to much for, under $100, but it is a Bethleham Pedegree and graded 9.0. It has a light date stamp just below the R of war. This comic is from 1963 but didn't they know back then that you can't feed choc. to dogs at the risk of thier lives? View Comic

Circle 8 pedigree. Space War 12 Universal 6.5 A nice little find at a Heritage auction. Kind of a creepy cover, the eye's. Back cover kind of banged up, looks like it was the top copy of a bundle that had a string wraped around it as there a couple of indents top and bottom. View Comic
Circle 8 pedigree. Space War 13 Universal 9.0 Nice little find from a Heritage auction. Don't mind the pedigree markings on the cover at all. The word is that only about a third of Circle 8 pedigree comics have the 8 with a circle around it on the covers. It's always fun to compare the cover with splash page they used for the cover. View Comic
Davis Crippen (D Copy) pedigree Headline Comics 15 Universal 8.5 Took this one away from Metropolis Collectibles for a nice price of $138. I seem to remember offering $135 and they came back with $138, Just seemed a bit odd coming back with 3 bucks higher. Just a so-so cover but the back is kind of cool. There are only 5 copies of this issue graded with this one being the second highest graded. View Comic
Davis Crippen (D Copy) pedigree. Thrilling Comics 48 Universal 8.0 Here we have one of those Schomburg covers with all the detail that he's known for. Five people, gun shots, choke holds, spear stabing, and the worlds largest diamond. What more could you ask for? I love the little "Photo-Alarm" hidden away in the lower corner of this cover. Schomburg does some great art work on Doc Strange here as he looks young and buffed and more lifelike than some other covers. Perfectly centered cover with somewhat of a dirty spine (dust shadow?) as can be found on some the Crippen pedigree books. View Comic
Davis Crippen (D Copy) pedigree. Thrilling Comics 50 Universal 6.5 Great cover showing how we should treat our returning Vets. Have a band playing for them, a fly by. Give them a loan, a job, and a thankyou handshake. Love how Schomburg put the wife, kids, and parents in the background. Best part of the cover is the Nazi helmet the G.I. brings home. This copy is very well centered and would get the higher grade if not for a somewhat dirty spine. This is a Crippen D-copy pedigree comic without any cover markings.
Thrilling Comics #50 Davis Crippen ("D" Copy) pedigree (Better Publications, 1945) CGC FN+ 6.5 Cream to off-white pages. Alex Schomburg cover. Bob Oksner, August Froehlich, and Maurice Gutwirth art. Overstreet 2006 FN 6.0 value = $117; VF 8.0 value = $225. CGC census 1/07: 1 in 6.5, 2 higher. From the Crippen Collection. 		View Comic
Davis Crippen (D Copy) pedigree. Thrilling Comics 55 Universal 8.0 Well the war is over so why not a western cover. Oh, by the way Alex, no outlaw ever, and I mean never, wore a green cowboy hat as seen in the right hand window. I'm not sure about the outlaws red and white shirt either. This is a "D" copy pedigree with the code W-6 on the title logo. View Comic
Davis Crippen (D Copy) pedigree. Thrilling Comics 57 Universal 6.5 Boy, have the times changed looking at this cover. Seems as if every town has a casino these days. Doc really has the hairdo going on this cover and what's with the ax. Hitting the dealer with a slot machine would look much cooler. And don't get me started on what a "Baby Ruth" stands for. Right grade for this comic as there's a small chunk of the back cover missing. View Comic
Davis Crippen (D Copy) pedigree. Thrilling Comics 59 Universal 7.0 Don't really know what Doc has on his mind here but he kind of has the look of "what the heck am I doing here with this dame". Is it just me or does it look like Schomburg forgot to put the knife in Pantha hand. Oh ya, do those guys chasing them need to put some meat on thier bones or what. I haven't seen ribs like that since I was at Chili's Bar & Grill. Well centered Crippen "D" copy with just a little stapel pull and a sliver of a dust shadow. View Comic
Diamond Run pedigree. Boy Commandos 32 Universal 8.5 Great western cover with the queen of the west Dale Evans. Nicely centered with bright colors. The red is eye-popping. This copy is from the Diamond Run as noted on the slab.

Mass. Copy pedigree Midnight Tales 4 Universal 9.4 Oh my, Arachne and the Professor don't look to happy that they got on the "L" train, ah, I mean the Hell train. Take a closer look at that conductor and you’ll notice he has a nice little red tail and, oh yeah, a nice set of horns coming out of the forehead. Is he the devil or just a demon? The conductors arm patch reads Inferno Express and his belt buckle reads Abandon Hope. Right next to the orange creator box are a nice little pile of three bullets. Would someone please tell me what that darn clock is doing on a train. One other little note is the pack of cigarettes laying at the base of the clock. Wayne Howard was a very heavy smoker and most likely lead to his early death at 58. I don’t know if you noticed but the title logo has changed with this issues. The title Midnight Tales is now printed on a piece of parchment instead of floating letters. This was purchased on eBay as a group of 6 Midnight Tales issues and listed as from the Mass. Copy pedigree. When I asked for proof he told me his name and said I could ask anybody in the know and they would confirm that he was a big buyer of the Mass. Copy collection. I sent them to CGC with his email and they all came back as Mass. Copy Pedigree copies.
Tied with 2 others as highest graded.

Mass. Copy pedigree. Midnight Tales 5 Universal 9.8 The best thing about this cover is Arachne in fishnet stockings. The best thing about this book is the 2 page centerfold of Arachne without the fishnets. More on that to come. As you’ll notice the stupid grandfather clock is just everywhere they go. Sure, the title of this series is Midnight Tales, and the clock is always at noon or midnight but so what, lose the clock Wayne, lose the clock.
Okay, best thing about this issue is the centerfold pin-up of Arachne. She’s leaning up against her dresser in what must be her bedroom. There’s so many things to notice in this pinup I hope I don’t pass any up. First, how bout that feather duster hanging from the dresser, I’m getting tingles just writing about it. Oh my, that stocking hanging from the dresser drawer just makes me notice her long legs and that slit up the side of her skirt. Okay, enough of that. What the heck is she keeping in that dresser. Check out the top left with the octopus leg coming out, there I go again thinking about Arachnes legs. How about the nice spider mirror and the nice skull belt Arachne is wearing. There’s also a nice skull with a candle in it on the dresser. The bit of humor that Wayne has put in this pinup is in the mirror. Under Arachnes arm in the mirrors reflection, which would be leaning against her back, is a copy of Midnight Tales, with the spelling forward and not in reverse as would be the case here. One last little thing on the pinup is on the right hand side of the dresser is a blue jar with a pink label which has FUBAR Co. printed on it. Not really sure why Wayne would use the acronym FUBAR but it’s there.

Mass. Copy pedigree. Midnight Tales 7 Universal 9.4 WHAT!!! Hold it. Stop the presses!!! We forgot to put the grandfather clock on the cover! For the first time in the series there is no clock on the cover. What relief. What we do get is Arachne dressed in her best Indiana Jones outfit.
Once again no records to go along with this issue. I noticed with this issue the price jumped from 20 cents to a quarter. Inflation in the 70’s was the worst.
I’ve never read this issue. I think it’s about time I did. With the main story titled OOZE it has to be somewhat entertaining I would think. Wait a minute, bottom row, second from left, what’s that cave child pointing at?
View Comic
Mass. Copy pedigree. Midnight Tales 10 Universal 9.4 Sure, this cover has Arachne on it but this is one cover of the series that I dislike. Just looking at the cover you know that both Coffin and Arachne were supposed to have word balloons and they don't. I want to know what they’re so upset about. Guess I’ll have to read it. This would be a great time to do one of those caption contest and see who could come up with the best word balloons to put on this cover. There's that clock again. It just sits there doing nothing. Give it a purpose, have a ghost in it or at least some spooky eyes starring out of it. Part of the 6 issue Mass. Copy pedigree purchase. Once again, like on the last issue, we see Wayne uses the “Zoo Baby” title. Okay, dislike may be a bit strong a word, I do like the concept that I think Wayne was going for, if the large puppets are controlling the small puppets whose controlling the large puppets, I mean they do have strings attached to then, somebody’s up there pulling the strings. This is the first issue that no longer has a “Featuring” logo box along the bottom edge which I always enjoyed. View Comic
Mass. Copy pedigree. Midnight Tales 18 Modern 9.6 Well, here we are with the last issue of the Midnight Tales title, the series carried on for three more issues under the title of Prof. Coffin. The art work suffers a bit on this issue as there seems to be a lot of small detail mIssing compared to other issues. Arachne seems to have kept her younger appearance on this cover and if Howard would have put a little blue and a star on that dress she could have been an all American girl. Now, you would have thought Wayne would have put that grandfather clock on the last issue, but no, it’s missing and as much as I detested that clock I now seem to miss it. There’s a new logo on the bottom right announcing Charlton Publication as the parent company. I should also mention the the price went to 30 cents on this final issue. This was part of my Mass. Pedigree purchase from eBay. As mentioned above the series continued for 3 more issues 10 years later under the title “Prof. Coffin” with all the same characters and used the same covers from the first three issues of Midnight Tales but in mirror images with different colors. View Comic
Mohawk Valley pedigree. Rip Hunter Time Master 14 Universal 9.2 Wow, I have an issue without a date stamp on the front cover. Don't get me wrong. I don't mind date stamps as I think they add a little history on how thing were done back then. (As a side bar, I wonder what the most recent date stamp is on a CGC graded comic.) This is the fourth issue of this copy I've owned and the first without a date stamp. The other three all had date stamps right over Bonnies head. Great splash page, View Comic
Northland pedigree Rip Hunter Time Master 26 Universal 9.4 Looks like Rip's in some trouble. I paid a arm and a leg, but at least not my head, for this copy but it is a 9.4 from the Northland collection. I think it was around $175 on eBay. View Comic
Ohio pedigree. Headline Comics 19 Universal 7.5 This book looks so nice I don't see how it’s only a 7.5. I'll take what I can get I guess.
Looking at who's in this issue I think Carrot Top should be in Vegas and Copy Boy should be at the ”The Office” instead of in this issue.

Ohio pedigree. Headline Comics 22 Universal 8.0 Picked this one up from eBay. The seller never mentioned and the picture was so bad that I didn't know it was a Ohio pedegree till I opened the box.
Nice classic Charles Atlas back cover. This is as far as I'll collect this series as after this it goes to all crime stories.
12/04/09- I'm now going for the entire set. I don't see this series come up much so it could take a life time.
Only 3 grade copies of which this is the second highest graded.

Okajima pedigree. Slap Happy Halloween cover. Big Shot Comics 82 8.5 My wife lets me have one wall in the main floor bathroom where I get to display my comics. I use "Frameitagainsam" comic frame and I have room to put three comics up at a time. This issue always goes up in the fall around Halloween time. As for the comic itself, it seems to look a point or more higher then the grade given. We all say that right. It does have two date stamps on the reverse cover (SEP - 1947) and on the front cover, F98, is written in pencil on the left side. Best part of the cover is the owl sitting in front of the harvest moon. The worst parts for me are the fact that the dog only has one eye and I can't figure why Slap is holding the fence gate.
Big Shot Comics #82 Okajima pedigree (Columbia, 1947) CGC VF+ 8.5 White pages. Overstreet 2009 VF 8.0 value = $62; VF/NM 9.0 value = $86. CGC census 6/09: 1 in 8.5, none higher. Paid $48.
The Okajima Collection originated in the midst of one of the darker moments of American history. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor in December of 1941, the knee-jerk reaction of the U.S. Government was to deport all Japanese Nationals residing in the States, and then round up all U.S./Japanese citizens and place them in internment camps. It was at one of these interment camps that a young Japanese/American girl used the four color world of comics as a means to escape her prison surroundings. Many years later, after the collection had been stored away and forgotten by her family, the books were rediscovered at an estate sale. A price was set, and three lucky attendees walked away with one-third of the comics each, forever splitting apart what would become known as the Okajima Collection.

Word quickly spread about the collection after copies made their way to those "in the know." Okajimas have established a reputation for their white pages, which many have attributed to the temperate climate of California. Such whiteness puts this collection far ahead of its many pedigreed peers, as it ranks 8th overall. There are still many copies from the Okajima collection anonymously floating around the hobby, waiting for sharp-eyed collectors to spot their easily identifiable markings.

Random House Archives file copy Star Trek 13 Universal 9.0 Looks like Spock could do a comic book crossover and help out "Magnus, Robot Fighter" from what I see on this cover.
The back cover has a nice ad for Kenner's Smash-Up Derby cars. I would have been 18 at the time but I remember playing with some of these at one time. 		View Comic
Random House Archives file copy. Star Trek 18 Universal 9.0 Well, as you may have guessed, I don't have reading copies for the early issue. I get my scans from a copy of The Enterprise Logs put out by Golden Press in the 70's.
Each issue of them always had a little extra feature and volume 3 opened up with the first scan shown below.
That darn Scotty is always tring to get a little action. I'd like to see the rules for Zap-Ball. Upgrade to a 9.0 from a 8.0 pn 1-7-10. 		View Comic
Random House Archives file copy. Star Trek 20 Universal 9.2 This is a really great cover but what goes on inside this book is a crime. I'm thinking the Capt. should take his hand off this young lad before he gets in trouble.
I guess funny things happen to a man when he's been in space to long. 		View Comic
Random House Archives file copy. Star Trek 45 Modern 9.4 I love reading the back cover on this one. This issue is a reprint of issue #7 and only the price has been changed to protect the profit. View Comic
Random House Archives file copy. Star Trek 49 Modern 9.2 Holy Cow, two Star Trek covers for the price of one. The back cover is for the Golden Press reprints.
I've picked up reading copies of all four reprints as it was a lot cheaper than buying copies of each issue.
I like the front cover of this issue as it shows great use of light on the Enterprise. 		View Comic
Random House Archives file copy. Star Trek 53 Modern 9.4 Kind of a wacko story about going to a plante and finding the Greek Gods living on thier mountain, but it's a good read and some nice panels of outer space.
As far as the ad on the back cover, I don't know about sending away for a Crazy Crab named Suzy but I do remember getting some crazy crabs from Suzy.
Seems like I tried to return them once and she won't have anything to do with me. Oh well, lets clean it up here. 		View Comic
Rockford pedigree. Thrilling Comics 56 Universal 7.5 Don't know much about the Rockford pedigree but this ones from it. Always loved the way Schomburg shows contact after a fist to the jaw. Great color on this cover as you get the feeling of the Middle East from it. This issue also has the first Princess Pantha appearance in it. Somewhat of a faded dust shadow on the right edge with one little crease. View Comic
Rockford pedigree. Not on holder. Thrilling Comics 58 Universal 8.0 Another from the Rockford collection. Not noted on the CGC slab. Really like how Schomburg uses his lines to make a shadow as shown on Panthas legs and the under belly of the tiger. Light date stamp on the cover. View Comic

Item description:

ComicLink Comments:
This CGC 9.6 upper Near Mint from the Rocky Mountain Pedigree collection is the highest graded and 1 of only 3 to ever reach this top tier. Adding to its desirability, CGC has assigned its perfect page quality designation of White Pages, making this example the very best 9.6 attainable.
Rocky Mountain Pedigree:
The original owner collection that is now established as the Rocky Mountain Pedigree collection is comprised of over 5,000 books and it is by far the most impressive Silver, Bronze and Copper Age collection ever consigned to ComicLink since the business was founded in 1996. Across the board, whether they grade out 9.0, 9.4 or 9.8, these issues are newsstand fresh and glossy, with rich colors and either white or off-white to white page preservation. You cannot truly measure the look of them by the grades they were given. They were an incredible sight to behold prior to CGC slabbing and we are, quite frankly, as blown away now as we were when we first laid eyes on them.

Overstreet 2003 VF 8.0 value = $55; VF/NM 9.0 value = $73.
I love everything about this cover, to bad the story was so lame. This is a White Mountain pedigree book. The last panel of this book shows how every comic book should end, with love. This was a Heritage eBay auction purchase.

White Mountain pedigree Space War 7 Universal 9.0 A nice Heritage pick up of a White Mountain pedigree comic. I love this full cover, don’t really know if any more could have been put on it. Love this panel at the beginning of the last story, as a kid it would have caught my attention. View Comic
White Mountain pedigree. Star Trek 2 Universal 8.0 I'm pretty proud to have picked up this mid-grade copy due to the fact it's from the White Mountain pedigree.
Comic presents itself much better than the grade would suggest.
There is a small indent by the hand written 1968 date and a faint spine roll can be seen on the back under the right angle.
I have a hard time seeing Capt. Kirk saying "Howling Comets" as shown in the panel. Seems like something Bones would say or maybe even Scotty.
I also have the #2 issue with the price variant (15¢) in CGC 7.5 qualified (centerfold missing). Very rare book and this is the only CGC graded copy. (6/28/13) 		View Comic
