I know I should not post this, but there is something compelling about these sort of books. They have lived full lives, not hidden away from the sunshine. Hope there owners enjoyed them. (I think this guy found a box of old DC's, )

"Issue 129 is in very nice shape, issue 137 less so" - hmm now how do you define "less so"  hmmmm

These are my kind of books! Own a legendary piece of history without breaking the bank! It's books like these,in this condition that allowed me to fulfill my life long dream of completing the run! And as an added bonus you don't have to worry about reading them, which is my favorite part!

I purchased this issue from Quality Comix:

SC8.jpg.eebc77b0037c4a48ffd3426fbad04ff7.jpg

To me, this issue fits the phrase, "It presents better than its grade." Most of the damage is on the back. I wish that piece wasn't missing from the front cover, but I am very satisfied with this issue.

I'm down to my last two Rogues: Showcase #13 (first appearance of Mr. Element) and Flash #139 (first appearance of Professor Zoom, the Reverse Flash).

I could well and truly live with that paper pull on the bottom. The rest presents very well indeed. Often that white area around the hand has foxing. Very nice bright colours. Just think Mr. Element and RF - hmmm 147 !! (nice coincidence)

Congrats on such an awesome pick up. As you said, it presents so well. That right now is my top Grail to get as I know I wont be able to afford a copy of Showcase 4 anytime soon.

I totally agree, that i'd take that book looking like that regardless. That bottom is so minimal to how well it looks overall.

Well we never did follow up on your socks did we. Maybe max out our toys and collectible (t-shirts etc) and then we just push it along to 104 ... and start again "mwah ha ha ha ". Yes I am having one of those days.

 

Yes I do have some Flash socks!
