Mmmmmmmm, a 9.6 featuring two of my favourites, the Elongated Man in his original costume and the Pied Piper! Fabulous!

Hepcat,

 

That's a great mini run with Flash #105! I recall that Flash 146 was my first Flash purchase, once I began actively collecting in the late 1990's.

In another ten years or so you might have some feelings of nostalgia for the #146 then!

 

The Trickster is another very bad man. Let me offer you these scans as evidence:

IIRC, both Mirror Master and the Trickster are on the cover of #130

 

I'm saving that one for a post that will feature the three Rogues Gallery covers.

Hepcat,

 

You have hit upon an interesting point. I read a lot of comics in the 60's, but did not buy very many. I know I read many of the DC titles like, Superman, Batman, Flash, Atom, and Hawkman & even a few Marvel titles. It was for the most part like starting completely over in the 90's, since I could not recall specific issues and covers after so many years.

Attention all you SA Flash collectors! Be sure to check out the Flash Comics Collecting thread I just started over at the Gold Comics forum and let me know what you think.

If you happen to own any GA beauties from that series, please don't be shy to flaunt them there!

Interesting. For the most part I not only remember the specific issues I had but I also remember at which newstand I bought that issue and my feelings viewing that issue for the first time. I also remember many of the ads for comics I coveted but never had. These strong memories are the main reason I love my comics so much.

#131 - Art by Carmine Infantino - scripts by John Broome

 

This book is one of my personal favorites.

Don't know if you're into original art, but pages from that book definitely come up for sale now and again

 

No, can't say that I am into original art.

 

I can just imagine my wifes reaction, were I to expand the collection in yet another direction

 

Flash #116 November 1960 - another cover by Infantino.

Let's not forget the insidious Captain Boomerang:

Mine too.. I remember pulling it off the stands.

WTTB- It's nice to have another Flash fan.

Here are a couple of books featuring the menacing magician from the far future, Abra Kadabra:

Hey Cat, you have the nicest collection of raw Flash I've seen in a while. Thanks for posting.

[october]

I just got one. Decent price. Great book. Thanks to Andy. I wish I had known about it before you consigned.

 

 

Me too. It went stupid cheap.

[Flash105]

For the most part Flash prices have been in a decline. The price the 106,100, 119, and 137 got in the last auction were cheap historically. The 105,107 and 123 made the sellers really happy.

Here are scans of the Scarlet Speedster battling a couple ne'er do wells I've not yet featured:

[Flash105]

I love issue 106. That is a nice looking copy.

[Hepcat]

Yes. The #106 is a really tough one to find in nice shape.

Thanks. In a few months I will begin slabbing my Silver Age Flash collection. the only one I have slabbed so far is 129 with a 7.5. Great cover. But my favorite is 130 ( and of course 123)!!!
