The table below should be reasonably self-explanatory. It's a list of the CGC grades of key silver age comic books from several notable comic book pedigrees.
There are three separate pieces of information I'm looking for here-
- Whether or not a book exists in a certain pedigree
- The CGC grade
- The original catalog/sale listing grade (especially if it's not CGC Graded)
I'm also open to suggestions as to other books that should be included.
Comments and emails are encouraged!
A Numerical Grade (9.4) indicates a CGC graded copy Exists
A Letter Grade (NM) indicates a copy exists and was graded in a catalog/auction Listing
An X indicates a book exists with no grade information.

Rob: There were 2 copies of DD 1 9.4 in the PC Collection. I had 1 and Roter had 1.
Best, Tom
Brulato has alot of the Marvel WP books. He sent me a list I'll see ifr I can't find it.
By Rob February 11, 2011 - 4:57 pm
Awesome. Thanks!

Hi Rob.
There were 2 Bethlehem TOS #39. One is in 9.2 and one is in 9.4 (my copy!). I discovered this because after I got mine slabbed at a 9.4 with the pedigree verified, I then saw the 9.2 for sale and questioned this with Borock. He made enquiries and got back to me to say there had been 2 in the OO collection.
Also, wasn't the Curator DD #1 sold in CL's November auction for $50K as an old label 9.6?
By Rob February 12, 2011 - 7:57 am
It's interesting because I bet Bethelehem is going to surprise people. I'm betting it's going to be one of the collections with the highest percentage of keys present.
Good call on the Curator DD #1. I've got to go through ComicLink's notable sales (maybe I'll do that right now…)

some additions:
Avengers 4 Northland = 9.4
FF 1 Northland = 8.0
Showcase 4 Ohio = 8.0

The Pacific Coast Amazing Fantasy 15 is a CGC 6.5, or at least it was back in 2001; I saw it for sale on ComicLink back then. HEAVY chipping on the right edge, otherwise it looked flawless.

Thanks for the update. I'll add that in today.
