ComicsPriceGuide.com has just learned that a number of high grade Silver Age Marvel keys will be featured in Pedigree Comics' upcoming Grand Auction. According to Pedigree's CEO and President Doug Schmell, his company has obtained on consignment an Amazing Spider-Man #1 in CGC certified 9.0; Fantastic Four #1 in 8.5; a 9.8 copy of Iron Man #1 (CGC Signature Series, signed by Gene Colan) and a 9.4 copy of Tales of Suspense #39 featuring the origin and first appearance of Iron Man. The Grand Auction will start on Sunday, November 1, 2009 and will feature hundreds of high grade and ultra high grade Silver and Bronze Age Marvels and Gold Keys.
 
Mr. Schmell states that "Pedigree is extremely proud to be bringing these key books to market. All four books are exceptionally nice and were hand-picked by private collectors because of their overall near-mint structure. The Amazing Spider-Man #1 is as nice a copy as we have seen in years and has off-white to white pages. The Fantastic Four #1 8.5 similarly has off-white to white pages and is the highest graded and best copy we have ever offered for sale and represents the absolute nicest copy to hit the market in over 7 years. The Iron Man #1 is signed by cover and interior artist Gene Colan and is the best existing CGC Signature Series. It has white pages and is perfectly centered. The highlight of the auction, however, is the 9.4 example of Tales of Suspense #39, which is the third finest known copy of the book following only two in 9.6. A 9.4 copy has never been offered publicly for sale. The book is incredibly bright and perfectly centered with razor sharp edges and corners and it looks virtually unread. It has no writings, arrival dates, date stamps, etc. The book is further characterized by fresh off-white pages. It must be seen to be believed".
 
Many more high grade Marvels and Marvel keys will be added to the Grand Auction in the upcoming weeks. Please make sure you check the Web site (www.PedigreeComics.com) every day as well as CPG for all further announcements and latest news.
