I first saw this exact piece on the wonderful site ComicPedigrees.com, I thought to myself how I would love to have this piece in my collection. Several months later it was listed on eBay, it had to be mine. This piece came in a vintage CGC holder, which I would have loved to have kept intact, but the holder bore several scars and a crooked label - no way to show off a beautiful piece such as this!

Winnipeg Pedigree

Sold in a few different lots this Marvel collection that spans the 1960s to Copper Age. A large portion were brought to market by Showcase New England during the late 1990s. Known for having the owner's name written on the top of the cover of the pre-1965 issues, there are many high quality examples of this pedigree, and there have been rumblings that these may just be the under copies of the original owner's collection!
