Description

WOW!! Double WOW!! Here it is, the first NM/M copy we have ever had of Marvel Spotlight #5 at Pedigree Comics! This is a ridiculous 9.8 sample of one of the best Bronze Age books ever published and an INCREDIBLY hot book. It's by far the nicest copy we've ever seen or held and it borders on 9.9 (would be a re-submission candidate if the 9.8 to a 9.9 game existed). The book is PERFECT with incredible centering, exact cover alignment, near-white pages, a stupendous spine and the sharpest corners and edges you'll ever see. Features the introduction (and origin) of the Ghost rider by Mike Ploog. One of only 3 9.8 copies in the universe out of 1,800 so far encapsulated!!! We just sold a 9.6 for $6,500 in September, a record price for a NM+ copy. Only one 9.8 has ever been offered for sale, and that was over 3 years ago!
