Owner's Description
As could be expected, 80-page Giant #1 features DC stalwart, Superman. Our 9.8 emanates from the Pacific Coast Collection, which is considered to be the greatest Silver Age collection to ever surface. The Pacific Coast collection 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.
Our 9.8 is the single highest graded copy ever certified by CGC. It is also the first of four straight Pacific Coast copies, all of which are highest graded examples. We acquired the book from another private collector in August 2021.*
