One of the few times a cover blurb actually got it right!

I just checked and found I have the Millennium edition of Flash #123.    I have many but not all of the Millennium edition issues.

It took me about 2 years to find my low grade 105. If I was ready to buy a higher grade copy I would take you up on that offer. It's tough for collectors on a budget like us. The right low grade book has to become available at just the right time for us. It takes a lot of patience and a fair amount of luck. Keep the faith, your 105 will show itself eventually. Hopefully another Flash Fan here is ready to part with one.

Was at my son's high school yesterday and overheard some kids talking about the Spider movie. One kid went on and on about how genius Marvel is to create a multiverse.

I picked up this copy from an Ebay user, but the transaction did not take place on Ebay. I passed on a 9.0 because I liked the colors better on this book.

Yup I am waiting for the inevitable "Dc copying Marvel" that will come from the jr zombies when the Flash movie comes out . I was at our last remaining LCS in Sydney when a mum was leaving with her 10 year old and a bundle of spider-man comics. I asked hi  who created Spider-man and of course got the expected answer. I told him to go home and look up Steve Ditko. The Marvel fan base make the Star Wars fan base look neutral.

Very nice, but then again any copy of 155 is very nice. It is one of the most important comics of the DC silver age. That incredible scene in Gambi's tailor shop.

One more comment. After 123 has dried up it appears the same has happened to SC4. A solid sale of a 4.5 recently and a 2.0 and HA has a 1.5 that may crack $10K. It had been  driven up by this board on movie speculation starting back in 2014 and then after 2017 it was dumped by people who never cared for it. Last 2 years it has been slowly coming back and that has also fed into SC 13 & 14 but sales of SC8 are very hard to find (except under 2.5) and for some reason Flash 105 looks like it has only now slowly gotten back to 2017. Of course with the modern return of red haired Wally 110 has jumped and 139 just keeps marching along.

I am expecting more interest (how much I can't guess) when a trailer hits for the movie. Depending on what is hinted. For that we now must again wait as due to the CGI studio's being over loaded after Covid shutdowns it has been bumped from Nov to June Next year.

You mean this scene? Classic! But it's not Gambi's but his apprentice Leach and his shop that are used in this issue as Gambi is apparently in jail at the time.

 

[Terry E. Gibbs]

Classic scene and yes Leach, Gambi's apprentice. The 3rd panel is the classic that starts it all and the last panel is one of Carmine's best of Len.

Check out the latest in the SC4 thread. A "FILE COPY" from 1956 in very high condition.

These in my opinion are the top 3 in my flash collection. First time in his own title, meeting his own personal hero, and his greatest villain.

Hmm if someone asked about buying the top five books both for value, future appreciation and historical significance.

SC4 -first Flash

SC8 - 2nd Flash first modern super villian

105 -First in title

123 -1st GA crossover first multiverse

110 first Red haired Wally

and if SC4 is out of reach  then 139 First " Eobard Thawne, Professor Zoom, .. the Reverse Flash "

If someone only had three issues and on a semi budget, they cannot be beat

I checked Ebay to see what's available for issue #123 and #139. Loads of issue #139 are for sale, but only a few for issue #123. There are so many issues of #139 for sale I wonder if some sellers might come down in the prices they are asking.
