Owner's Description
The FF square-off again versus their arch enemies, the Frightful Four, in issue #38. High grade examples are readily plentiful here, with three 9.8s and a number of 9.6s. Our copy is one of those three 9.8s and 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.
This book makes eight PC Pedigrees between Issues #22-#38, which is tough to do when you are buying them individually and not in a put-together run, We actually sold the Curator copy to buy this one, just to try to accumulate a PC mini-run.
We acquired the book in a private transaction with another collector in January 2020.*
