The biggest comic collections are Named Collections but the most prestigious and rare ones are qualified as Pedigree Collections. This episode explains what elements are necessary to make a collection a Pedigree. Then I go into three Pedigree Collection stories: How Chuck Rozanski built Mile High Comics out of the Edgar Church Collection; how a suspect in the Green River Murders put together the Green River Collection; and the unique tale and strange wrinkles to the Okajima Collection, partially assembled behind the walls of the WW2 Internment Camps.
