Owner's Description
This Oakland pedigree white page beauty is the single highest graded copy. The Oakland Collection came to be in 1998 after the original owner brought samples to the Wondercon Convention and struck a deal with Vincent Zurzolo and Mike Carbonaro, who proceeded to drive the collection from California to New York. In it were over 4,000 comic books, primarily between the years of 1966 and 1974, accumulated as the owner was paid in comics by a liquor store in return for stacking shelves. He was very meticulous when handling his books, evident by the very high grades and page quality assigned to the collection over time. The books were sold as Oakland copies, although none of the copies have identifying marks on their covers.
2020: Scratch that again, there are now two. Once again, I averaged down. I acquired the first book pictured here in the 6/24/2013 CL auction and the second in the 3/14/2019 CL auction. At least the pictured book lasted almost six years as King.
