Pedigrees. Can there be anymore?

[SILLYSHIP--pirate eye--]

If a pedigree lineage has to bought by a single purchaser as the books were coming out, what is the last age a possible pedigree can be found? No one (I may be wrong) that is building a collection now can ever create a pedigree collection. But when do you think the last year was that we will see a pedigree collection come from? I'm guessing this ties into the broken home and jet planes and moving children so I'll say about 1964. Just a guess though. Maybe 1961.

I think the Winnipeg Pedigree extends into the early 1980's (late Bronze).

I guessing more likely like Mordo said, the 80's. The 90's has the computer age in full swing with PC being more affordable for everybody, thus the kids using it today for entertainment.

Most certainly, I myself have 8 CGC'd Human Fly Winnipeg's in my Registry Set (1977-1979)! :cool: The oldest (that I have) being #17, which hit the stands January 1979. Now, I know there are CGC'd Winnipeg's from the 1980's Ka-Zar series (c. 1981-82), there must be others from that same era, right? :-?

Hmmm, so the 80's.

To qualify as a pedigree a collection must be bought by the owner of the collection off of the racks. How many people buy books that were never owned by somebody else these days. If someone has an X-MEN collection and they are missing ten issues, they are gonna by them from eBay or a comic shop or whatever and then they don't have a pedigree collection anymore.

If it's not purchased by the original owner then it's just a collection,such as the Nick Cage collection.

IMO the advent of the lcs pretty much ended the "pedigree" era what with easy access to back issues,storage supplies and such.

It is quite possible though that there is an undiscovered pile of original comics out there somewhere.

I'm sure there are some more pedigrees out there, but what is the cutoff date? I'm guessing about 1982.

[cgc-world]

I'm not sure if there would be a cut off date at all. If an original owner started buying the Marvels since day one and continued til now, the entire collection would be from said pedigree. The books after the early 80's wouldn't be worth anything but would still be a part of the collection as a whole.

I don't think a collection could start any later than 1968 and still be deemed a pedigree in the markets eyes though.

1968, that's a cutoff date then. We cannot see a pedigree collection that began after that. That is what I wanted to know.
