SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
Our 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 part of the award winning Doug Schmell Collection, which was auctioned off by Heritage in July 2012 and is one of just two books topping the census. We acquired the book the July/August 2019 Pedigree Comics auction.
2026 Update: Oops, the census for 9.8s has jumped from two to four, which probably means the value of our 9.8 has been cut in half. Oh well, it’s still the Pacific Coast copy, they can’t take that away from me LOL.
