I picked up this grail from an IG user this week. I know there are people who will argue that this belongs in the GA forum, so I am just going to post here and there.

There was a great debate in the 1970’s over which book actually started the silver age. Detective #225 or Showcase #4. Flash ended up with a stronger vote due to a higher visibility. Since the silver age was really started over several years vs Action #1 which almost immediately impacted the industry Detective #225 still makes a good case and I know a few who consider it along with Showcase #4 as the books that started the silver age vs just one of them.

I have heard about that discussion. To me, it's Showcase #4, as it has the hero plastered on the cover. Detective #225 is not unlike Strange Tales #110, introducing new characters with placing them on the cover.

Regardless, I am quite happy with my purchase.

Not new to my collection but it's been away for so long it feel like it is. Finally back this week after a looong 12.5 months in a NO pressing submission.

🥁 There are now 2 Wonder Woman #180 in 9.8 on the CGC Census

Purchased from Vinny in 1998. This is only 1 of 2 SA Oakland's I've submitted. With the current state of Q/C I'm too afraid to send any more of these hard to find in high grade 1960's DC's.

Like 80% (based on my causal analysis the last 22 years) of Oakland the pages are not white - likley attributable to where they were stored until the collection was purchased. A very sharp copy
