Curious. What auction had these Flash's that you guys were watching?

Lots of boardies have a Flash 106, but fewer are looking to sell. I agree that there are probably far more than 100 around (closer to 1000?), but I bought the first copy I ever saw, and mostly stopped paying attention to the availability of the book after that. I don't recall seeing it much, though.

[Flash105]

I had a 106 when I was 21 so it could not have been that scarce because I did not have a lot of money back in those days. I think it is plenty scarce in 7.0 and above. I want one in 8.5-9.0 but I was not ready to drop 8K on it when there are other books I "need".

[showcase22gr1959]

There are plenty out there. I have two copies myself. I think I own the only white pager out there.

106 was definitely the hardest for me to find. Seems there's 7 on the feeB right now, I think a few of them have been there forever. Still, there's gotta be more than 100.

Back in the day no one knew who had what and no one was connected. Heck, most people that collected probably never visited a comic store or bought an overstreet guide.

old folks alert!!

[showcase22gr1959]

Okay...I started in 1987...you guys are major veterans.

[Flash105]

Yeah but I stopped in 1992 and did not get back in until 2007.

Back to scarcity of 106...

 

I keep all my "scarce" comics in a attache case for safe keeping. I decided to pull out the case as I wasn't sure if I had a 106. I opened the case and was relieved that my small collection of scarce comic books included a Flash 106.

Nice books, Jay! That's cool--finding out you had a Flash 106! BTW, since we live so close to one another, maybe we can get together and check out each other's books! I'd love seeing your JLA 1 and Flash 106. LMK!

I don't think that Richie Rich & the New Kids on the Block is that scarce.

Sure about that? He's the only guy I know of who owns one...
