Green Lantern #76 CGC Certified 9.6 in Pedigree Comics' Grand Auction

comicguy.nospam@nospam.comicspriceguide.com (tgordon) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 12:37:00 -0400

Comicspriceguide.com has just found out from Pedigree Comics CEO, Doug Schmell, that his company has acquired an awesome new batch of ultra high grade Silver and Bronze Age Marvels and DC's at the recently held Big Apple Comic Con in New York City and that all the books will be featured in Pedigree's upcoming Grand Auction that begins in less than two weeks on Sunday, November 1, 2009. According to Schmell "the show was an absolute success for me as I was able to track down some gorgeous books. The best book I was able to walk away from the show with is easily the Green Lantern #76 in 9.6 with off-white to white pages, only the second copy to ever make it as high as NM+. The book is incredible, with off-white to white pages, near-exact centering and full cover gloss. I have no idea what the other 9.6 looks like but it will be tough for that copy to look this nice as this smoker is unread.

"I lucked out having the freedom to move around from dealer to dealer to purchase these new comics (over 50 in total) since I do not set up at conventions. I make it my business to get to the show early and look through every dealer's inventory, both CGC graded and raw. Every one of the new books will be in the Grand Auction, which promises to be an amazing event. A sizeable portion of the books (18 in total) are on their way to CGC and will be certified in time for the auction".
