I own several of the Diamond Run Marvel Avengers books, including issue 4, which were marketed by Joe Latino, who lives in Connecticut. Apparently the original owner was affiliated with comics in some way, either as an editor or in some similar position. The original owner wishes to remain anonymous, supposedly.

Here's Mr. Latino's description from an email to me several years ago: "The (Diamond Run) collection is historically important not only for its size and condition but also because of who the owner was. The Avengers run was one of his favorite(s) and he almost kept the No. 4 book because he believes that it is the most important book in that run...the Return of Captain America was viewed by him as ...the most significant...in the Silver Age. This run was bought off the stand...and then stored for the last 35 + years".

I had a posting on this pedigree about 2 years ago, but couldn't retrieve it from the search feature on the CGC forum site. I know it's not much information, but I hope it helps.

 

I like it when Latino says the collection is important in part because of who the owner was, but he chooses to remain anonymous. Well, thanks a lot! 27_laughing.gif I don't know if any further info has come out since.
