A collections of hundreds of rare, well-preserved comic books found in Vancouver more than 20 years ago has been given a special certification.

Many of the 1,300 books are from the “golden age” of comics in the 1940s and 1950s, with titles including Batman, Detective Comics, the Flash and Wonder Woman.

A third-party certification has now determined that about a third of the books in the collection are the best-preserved copies known to exist.

The collection starts in 1944 and continues sporadically right up into the early 1960s, Shaughnessy added.

Shaughnessy had the books assessed by an independent grading company called Certified Guarantee Company (CGC), which has granted the collection official “pedigree” status, something it has given to just 60 other collections.

“Every now and then, a collection is found that is so exceptional it becomes recognized as a pedigree.”
