Owner's Description
Daredevil battles the Fellowship of Fear in DD #6, which marks Daredevil’s last appearance in his yellow costume. Our WP 9.8 comes with a Curator pedigree and is the single highest graded copy as of 12/2019. Considered one of the best Silver Age collections ever discovered, the Curator boasts an Avengers #1 in 9.4, an Amazing Spider-Man #1 in 9.8, an X-men #1 in 9.8 and a Tales of Suspense #47 in 9.9, among many others. The collection began in the late '50s and continued into the '80s, its condition peaking in 1962. They were amassed by an employee of a museum (hence the name), who stored the comics in tight packs on the museum's premises. John Hauser acquired most of them in the '90s but sold many without a pedigree identification. As a result some copies have lost their pedigree as the books do not have any distinctive markings.
Our book was also part of the Doug Schmell Collection auctioned off by Heritage in July 2012. We acquired the book in the December 2019 CL Auction.
2022 Update: Our book was knocked out of being the single highest graded example in 2022 by a far inferior book to this collector’s eyes, which admittedly aren’t great LOL. The other one lacked both a pedigree and WP and was poorly cut. At least it actually went for more than we paid for this one.
2024 Update: Talk about grade inflation, our book has gone from single highest graded when we acquired it five years ago to one of four 9.8s in the census. If this were a DC, I would have lost 75% of my investment. The more ai look at it, if those books are 9.8s, maybe this book should be a 9.9. It looks absolutely perfect to me.
