Owner's Description
Daredevil once again battles the Stilt-Man in Issue #48. Our single highest graded 9.8 comes from the Pacific Coast Collection, which 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 a part of the Doug Schmell Collection auctioned off by Heritage in July 2012. We acquired the book in the August 24, 2013 ComicConnect auction along with Issue #39.
2022 Update: Well, I guess it was just a matter of time, as this book comes from 1969, not 1959. As of September 2022, there are now two 9.8s in this census. Based on the looks test, this one is still the best copy out there, not to mention the PC Pedigree.
