Pedigree Comics, Inc. will be listing a group of ultra high grade Bronze Age Marvel comics from the incredible Winnipeg Collection starting today February 15, 2008. This new listing comprises 85 brand new books CGC certified comic graded 9.8, 9.6 and 9.4 of Man-Thing, Man-Thing (Vol. 2); Marvel Classics Comics Series, Rom Annual, and Marvel Chillers, plus deep runs of Rom and Savage She-Hulk. All comics, but two, have white pages, with great cover gloss, giving them the clean and unread appearance that makes Winnipegs so desireable for Bronze and Copper Age collectors.  

The Winnipeg Collection was founded in late 1996, when Dan Greenhalgh of Showcase New England purchased the entire collection from original owner Joseph Krolic. Consisting of full runs from 1963 to 1996, of all Marvel titles, plus many DC titles, they were all purchased by original owners Joseph Krolic and Denis Kjolso from the same newsstand in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Pedigree Comics’ owner Doug Schmell purchased many early Silver Age Marvel runs, plus all the Bronze and Copper Age Marvel titles from Showcase New England in December, 1996. He sold most of the early Silver Age Marvels within the past 10 plus years but kept all the Bronze and Copper runs intact, a collection of over 3,000 comics, until he began selling them on his website, PedigreeComics.com in early 2005. Over one thousand Winnipegs have already sold since 2005 and many unsold issues remain on the website.

This new listing constitutes the intial part of the final "wave" of 1,000 Winnipeg books that are being submitted to the CGC for certification. Many more Marvels from this amazing collection will be certified and listed in 2008. Every Winnipeg comic graded will be at least in 9.4 grade.
