Is this color rub on this Flash? 0

Noteworthy is that the majority of Silver age books do not have shiny staples, whether gold, copper, bronze, or silver in color. Most Silver age comics have staples with a cloud-grayish coating on them that mutes the brilliance or shine of the metal. It's tarnishing, like on a coin, the mildest form of oxidation. This can lead to actual full scale rusting of the metal, which will have a corrosive effect eventually on the staple and surrounding paper, both inside and out. That Flash is a beautiful book and the staples are what's to be expected of Silver age staples, unless scraped/cleaned. A cloud-grayish coating on the metal, quite normal, and at that stage nothing to be concerned about since the book is now optimally environmentally housed and stored.

Thanks man appreciate it.  Here is a slightly better pic, you can see the oxidation a bit better here.  Still look beuno enough?

Normal! You're good to go. I wouldn't be concerned. The grade was not impacted by that slight bits of tarnish on the staple(s). If anything, the tears in the paper surrounding where the staple(s) is/are seated accounted for grade lessening affect.
