SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
We paid a pretty penny for the Pacific Coast copy of this Avengers crossover issue. It is one of two 9.8s in the census and our third Pacific Coast Pedigree in this set. The Pacific Coast Collection is generally considered to be the greatest Silver Age collection to ever surface. It was brought to market by Robert Roter after he discovered portions of it for sale on eBay in 1999. The books were marketed through PCE over the next several years and contained over 7,000 comics and magazines that included Marvel, DC, and Gold Key among others, covering a time span between 1961 and 1977. Many of the highest graded Marvel and DC issues from the early '60s hail from this collection with exceptional page quality. The books do not exhibit any distinguishing markings.
Our book was also part of the Doug Schmell Collection, which was auctioned off by Heritage in July 2012-let's face it, if it's Marvel and Pacific Coast and highest graded, unless it's a Spidey, Doug probably owned it. We acquired the book in the March 2020 CL auction.
