Hi all - Just wondering if there is an existing Superman silver age thread (like the dedicated Flash and Batman threads). I have searched the forum and can't find one that exists. If not, let's start one here!

That is truly a haul. I would have done the same thing.

How/when did you land your SC 4? That's an exclusive club for sure.

Holy , a 7? Congratulations, that must have cost some coin! Really beautiful copy.

I wonder if there's a disproportionate number slabbed because of the perception that it is scarce. They don't pop up on ebay very often, that's for sure. I was lucky to snag a copy last year on Comic Connect.

Beautiful copy! And great cover. I gotta get me one of those someday.

One random question: does anyone know why Overstreet lists Flash 106 as "scarce"?

The date stamp was a significant selling point for me. Fandom lists the official publication date as December 23, 1958. So the book got stamped on the day before it went on the rack.

This arrived yesterday.

I snagged a Superman #76 late last year (CGC 5.5). One of my most exciting moments in collecting (Action #252 and Flash #123 are the two others that immediately come to mind). I have been staying away from golden age stuff in general but lately have thought about acquiring one or two early Superman issues.

Well, I completed my run of the Barry Allen Flash title (105-350) by acquiring a CGC graded copy of 105. Very excited - I will post a pic when it arrives. Now on to the Showcase issues! (except #4, haha, won't ever have the kind of dough needed for that!)

OK, in response to a couple of you, here's the copy of 139 I recently acquired. There's a shadow from my cell phone in the middle.

Totally new to the boards, longtime reader. I too am a long-time Flash fan, having sadly sold my collection 15 years ago pre-marriage and then got back into things once the pandemic and some personal challenges (divorce, health) hit my life. Discovered this thread a few days back and getting a real kick out of it. Long story short, my favorite 5 covers from the classic era are 113, 123, 139, 174, and 323 (have all those issues). Just acquired a CGC-graded copy of 139, very exciting!
