Owner's Description
Our WP 9.8 comes from the Rocky Mountain Pedigree, so this one has a lot going for it. The Rocky Mountain pedigree was assigned to a large Marvel and DC Silver Age collection originally auctioned by Comiclink in 2008. The Spider-Man, Fantastic Four and X-men runs were first auctioned without pedigree, but due to high collector interest the decision was made by CGC to classify the collection as a pedigree. Subsequently those three runs were retroactively given the Rocky Mountain notation. Hailing from Colorado, the collection numbered around 5,000 books, initially stored in a basement in similar conditions to the Mile High collection. None of the books exhibit identifying marks, but are easily traceable back to Comiclink.
Our book is tied with four others at the top of the census. We obtained it in the November 19, 2015 Heritage auction.
2024 Update: Just once it would be nice to give an update about the 9.8s decreasing, in this case they went to eight.
