SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
High tech spying may be commonplace today, but Green Lantern was a victim in Issue #17 way back in 1962. 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.
Our book is still the single highest graded issue as of May 2020. We acquired the book in a private transaction in 2017.
2022 Update: Unfortunately, our 9.8 is no longer alone, as a second 9.8 emerged over the past year. .
