ComicsPriceGuide.com has been informed that some great new consignments have just been added for Pedigree Comics' November Grand Auction, the highlight being an original owner copy of Daredevil #1 in CGC certified 9.4 with off-white to white pages. According to Pedigree owner Doug Schmell: "This amazing, unread copy was purchased by the consignor (who is the original owner) when he was 13 years old. He bought it from the local grocery store in his hometown of Lawrence Kansas while on his newspaper route! The comic was never read, just meticulously cared for and stored in a box over the past 45 years and then just recently submitted to the CGC for grading. The book is characterized by unreal cover gloss, newsstand fresh page quality (oww), sharp edges and corners, a gorgeous spine and an obvious unread look. Growing in popularity, the issue features the origin and first appearance of Daredevil by Stan Lee with a Jack Kirby & Bill Everett cover". 
 
Mr. Schmell further states that his company has sold 2 9.4 copies in their Grand Auctions, one in October, 2008 for a then-record price of $19,166 and most recently for a record of $20,750 in the Grand Auction that just closed on August 24th. In fact, as a result of the just completed sale for the Daredevil 1 9.4 in the auction (similarly with off-white to white pages), the consignor of this example contacted Mr. Schmell in order to sell his prized copy.

The book joins an already impressive list of Silver Age Marvel keys that will appear in the upcoming auction (November 1, 2009) on the Pedigree Comics Web site (www.PedigreeComics.com), including Tales of Suspense 39 9.4, Amazing Spider-Man 1 9.0, Fantastic Four 1 8.5, Iron Man 1 9.8 (CGC Signature SERIES), Avengers 1 8.0, Avengers 4 9.2, Journey Into Mystery 83 7.5 plus a few others.
