This is an awesome group of 5! I love them all! (Even the Jay Leno Superman) All great and important issues and worthy of a top 5 list in my book!

Just a few days left for the Flash #105 house ad canvas piece. We only have 2 entries so far:

jmg3637 has picked 123,

innocuous has picked 766.

If I've missed anyone's entry, please let us know, thanks!

This house ad canvas is awesome! Just imagine it hanging up next to your Flash collection! History next to history!

Here's how I have mine displayed! I don't have a comic book room yet. But as you can tell Flash does have his own walk in closet at the Flashlites house. Did I say its my favorite part of the house?:cloud9:

That house ad canvas really ties the room together! Don't you think?

Found another one. As it is an auction will be interesting. A genuine 1.0. This book is rare but as people know it is rare they usually hold out for a price higher than any previous sale. Seldom see them on auction on ebay. Seller with (0) feedback will not help though.

Sad day for Flashlites yesterday...I went to my local comic shop and found out the Showcase #8 with water damage that I've been dreaming about for a year and a half was finally sold. It was almost in reach but alas it really was just a little too much for this Flash fan. Collecting on the small budget I have really has it's ups and downs. It's great when you come across something at that rare moment when you have the ability to purchase it! Like the signed copy of 107 I got this summer! That was amazing! But its painful when something like this slips away.

That there basically sums up the hobby. Another one will come around, and that memory will slip away.

This is on Heritage at the moment. Auction should start later today. As it was a 7.0 I wanted a good look and also put this question to the forum section on grading and resto. Sometimes as we know a great book will have a slightly over zealous dealer who years ago who could not help but use a highlighter so as to ad $5 to the book. (talking 25-40 years ago), But to call a repro cover a Purple 7.0. (should have had a better repro and he could have gone for a 9.0)
