Thanks for including me in this thread. I understand it’s a good cause, and was about to bid, when I remembered I recently had mine graded. I’ve got my own 9.0 compliments of one of Ed Bird’s recent auctions. 
Unless you put up another I am out. Merry Christmas!

After doing a little more research, the same book sold back in 2013 on Heritage and that image does not display what we are seeing the current ComicLink image.

You’re good. Does this mean the “stain” or “sun damage” or whatever occurred after the 2013 sale? Fark.

That is a very nice-looking book for an 8.0. That book was graded in 2004, so it might go higher because some might think it could get a grade bump with a clean and press. What drives me crazy about ComicLink is they don't post an image of the back cover on their auction listings. That particular book has something going on on the front cover in and around the "FL" of "FLASH" logo. It might just be newton rings, but it could be something foreign in the case, hard to figure out. It also kind of looks like a moisture stain but that is not mentioned in the grader notes. 

Interesting discovery. So I should cool my bidding jets??
Nothing like a deep-dive into Flash. I started the comic hobby, relatively recently, with Marvel targets — driven by the shows, my kids’ interests and being a kid in the 70’s. I’m learning that, for me, it’s not Marvel vs DC. It’s the characters and storylines that are attractive. And there is nothing like these older, higher graded books. Nothing at all. Very few in existence. They ain’t making any more, etc. I know I’m preaching g to the choir on this board.

For comparisons sake, there's this 8.5 #139 at auction right now on ComicLink ending 11/29. 

 

There is a Flash 123 in an 8.0 grade in that same auction. Is there any truth to the old labels being a touch more valuable? That book looks great!

Bat City was a great little store! I have not been in over a year. Don't tell me they packed up and moved to Florida? I used to visit it when I went north to Austin.

Yessir! That’s exactly what happened! And yes, the store is great.

Looks like a winner, congratulations!

Where did you find this if you don't mind me asking? I see your location is listed as Bradenton Florida and it looks like there are about 4 or 5 shops in and around that area. I have been to Emerald City Comics in the St. Pete/Clearwater area before and was very impressed with their store. 

Don’t mind at all. Bat City Comics is a new store right in Bradenton. Nice couple recently opened it. They moved here from Austin, TX in the last year. Nice place!

Personal preference really. An 8.5 of #123 runs about $2,000 more it looks like. Since you have an opportunity to pick up the #139 at market price and can inspect it personally before buying, I'd go for it. Might try and see if there's any wiggle room on the price. My determination would depend on how the book presents; does it have good color, good wrap and cut, what kind of defects it has and how they affect its overall visual appeal. Whatever you decide, good luck and if you get it, post up an image or two of it here so the rest of us here can be jealous and drool over it. Good Luck!

For comparisons sake, there's this 8.5 #139 at auction right now on ComicLink ending 11/29. 

Here you go!!! Got a deal on it. Curious to see where the ComicLink auction lands.
