SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
Our 9.6 comes from the Twin Cities Collection and is the single highest graded copy. The Twin Cities Collection was the product of Gary Dahlberg who spent his life carefully buying, reading and storing comic books away throughout the '60s and '70s, with aspirations to become a cartoonist one day. Sadly, he died in a fire in 2010, but to the astonishment of his family his collection was appraised at more than $1 million by Heritage, who auctioned the books in 2011. Consisting of mainly Marvel and DC, this accumulation has no identifying marks but yielded some of the highest grades of the early Marvel period with considerably high page quality. The collection ultimately brought over $2.4 million at auction.
We acquired the book from the 7/8/2021 Heritage Auction.
2025 Update: I have been a little delinquent in updating this set, but our book is no longer single highest graded but now shares the spot with two other books, both of which I believe were upgrades. Oh well……..
