SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
Issue #88 features appearances by Boomerang, Attuma and President Lyndon Johnson. Our 9.8 is one of two highest graded copies and comes from the Rocky Mountain Pedigree Collection. This pedigree was assigned to a large Marvel and DC Silver Age collection originally auctioned by Comiclink in 2008. The Spider-Man, Fantastic Four and X-men runs were first auctioned without pedigree, but due to high collector interest the decision was made by CGC to classify the collection as a pedigree. Subsequently those three runs were retroactively given the Rocky Mountain notation. Hailing from Colorado, the collection numbered around 5,000 books, initially stored in a basement in similar conditions to the Mile High collection. None of the books exhibit identifying marks, but are easily traceable back to Comiclink.
FWIW, this book was also part of Doug Schmell’s incredible Marvel Collection, which was sold by Heritage in 2012. To this day, I don’t believe any one has ever equaled his Marvel sets he put together back then. We acquired the book from the 5/28/2026 ComicLink Auction.
