Two guys that are ALWAYS in a great mood: Stan Sakai and Steve Lavigne. 

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

I got one that needs reholding, keep updated.

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.

Very nice KJ!!! Do you mean when you bought it the case had been opened and then snapped back together?

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

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

Did you get it at a Con or did he do it during lockdown ? I can't praise the guy enough. A credit to the game, and I am not sure even Cinf ever drew Rogues better.

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 

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
