This issue exists in ultra high grade by the hundreds, being a warehouse find.  So it's not only a cool old SA book, but it's not expensive either.

   

 

Yeah in 1993/1994 seemingly every dealer table had a few copies at least in my area.  My records show I paid $30 for mine in 1994

Good thread. Nice to see those high grade copies in one space.

I believe this is my earliest 9.6. One of the few books I have from a pedigree collection.

Nice book!! is the 9.8 off center on the label or am I just up way too late?

Somebody should invent a sticker you can put on the slab when the label has exceptional centering!

As my #1 is an underwhelming 8.5, I'll have to go with #'s 2 & 3 for the first 9.6's in my Avengers run:

Only 16 pedigrees with SA keys, I thought there'd be a few more.

Here's another of my few 9.6's. This is one of my favorite covers of the Silver Age so I just had to have a beautiful copy of it.

Beautiful indeed!

All of my Silver Age slabbed comics were sold years ago.  This book from 1962 was one of the oldest 9.6 comics in my collection.

This was the oldest 9.6 graded book in the collection.

I had the good fortune to purchase comics from what later became known as the Pacific Coast pedigree back in 1999, before CGC came into existence.  This was one of them, later becoming a 9.8 after leaving my collection.

Another 9.8-in-waiting:
