Two new editions arrived today

Facts! Couldn't agree more. two creators I've really enjoyed meeting over the years.

Here was my covid readings over the past two months. I started back full time work on Monday. We had been doing one on/one off so I took advantage and read a lot. I hadn’t read anything for over a year. In total was about 125 issues. It was great to read some stories that I had just on my to read list for years.

Congrats! I always loved this run as a kid. The art always stood out to me back then. I just read through it recently as well during all this stay at home time. Great addition to any collection

Prepping this book to go out tomorrow off for a press and dry clean and then off to CGC. Hoping it’ll come back in the 3.0-4.0 range but with the top staple causing the cover to almost be detached I’m unsure honestly what it’ll come back as. I’ve had it for 3 years and never sent it in (even though the plan when I bought it was to get and get it pressed and then graded). Here’s to hoping for the best.

Question for you all. Yes we all collect silver age flash but we’re also all comic fans. If you had the opportunity to get a small piece from Joe Giella done would you take a flash or a Batman. Also noting that the Batman would have a lot more done to it but both are same in cost.

Got mine back this past Friday

Indeed I had the 117. I purchased it from eBay last year, I just wasn’t comfortable with it not having the inner well So now that I was back from my deployment I decided to finally send it in and get that fixed. My next book is to either send in my 110 and have it brought over to a CGC case verses it’s current case and then send my 123 in for cleaning and pressing someplace and then off to cgc for grading. Had that one specifically since 2017 I really need to get on that one.

There’s a 2.5 on eBay graded by the other company signed by giella for $95 plus shipping

No just no inner well/tray had been put in the case for the book so the case itself was pressing onto the book

Another quick rehold turn around. Arrived yesterday

Home from a fresh reholding

Home from a fresh reholding

117 is officially home. Another quick turn around for the reholding. Bought this last year off eBay. It had no inner well, just the slab against the book on both sides. Needless to say I wasn’t to pleased so I finally sent it in to get it reholded.

151 holds a special spot in my heart as it’s how I purposed you my wife. We went on a little weekend getaway and as we were resting in our hotel I told her I wanted to read her my favorite Flash story so I pulled out the issue and read it to her. At the very end of it I had a Sticky note attached that said will you marry me. Needless to say almost 3 years later and here we are

I need this day to be over with, my 117 should be getting returned from CGC today

Birthday gift for my wife came in. Can’t wait to give it to her

New arrival I got for my wife for her bday

He’s doing commissions from home right now. I had reached out to him before and finally could afford one this time around. He was on my get list for flash commissions

I know not silver age related but I wanted to share my newest commission with my fellow flash fans. Wally West by flash great Scott kolins

Just got word that cgc got my 117 yo sent in for reholding. Hoping to have it back in about 2 weeks if the turn around is the same as my tmnt #1

Scott kolins

My piece from Scott kolins arrived today and I couldn’t be happier with it

I wasn’t to big on getting much from neal adams. As a person, I’m not to but of a fan of him but his art work can’t be argued with and he’s great so I wanted one of his flash covers signed. Grell was super nice and great to talk to

Here’s another share. A couple books signed Mike Grell and Neal Adams for the covers they had some. This is the only flash cover Mike grell did. Had a good conversation with him about it when he signed my book and I picked up a flash bust sketch from him
