⭐️ Davis Crippen Pedigree D Copy!.

⭐️. Davis Crippen began aggressively collecting starting in 1939 at the age of 9 - attempting to get every issue that hit the newsstands. Many of the comics were never even read. He was so dedicated he continued adding to his collection between 1949-1952 while in college at University of Michigan by mailing his comics to his parents in Washington D.C. His accumulations slowed after graduation and joining the U.S. Army.

This Golden Age collection was second in size only to the extraordinary Edgar Church/Mile High accumulation, numbering roughly 13,000 issues. It also has a distinctive history of discovery. About 2000 books were initially stolen from the Crippen house in 1991 and assimilated into the market as the "D" copies, named for the distinctive penciled code written at the top of the first page of each comic. Once Crippen passed away and the remainder of the collection was sold in 2006, the theft came to light and the origin of the pedigree was revealed.

Happy Collecting !!
