Owner's Description
TTA #51 features the continuation of Giant-Man’s first battle with the Human Top.
Our 9.8 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.
Out book was also part of the Doug Schmell Collection, which was auctioned July 28, 2012 on Heritage. It is one of two 9.8s in the census.
We acquired this Pacific Coast copy along with #50 in February 2015 from Metropolis/ComicConnect.
