Description

WOW!!!! Look at this monster! It's the second best existing copy of one of the best issues of the entire run!!! A ridiculous 9.4 with off-white pages, insane color strike and a flawless look. Really can't see how this absolute blazer is not the second (behind a recently graded) 9.6 in the world, but 9.4 will have to do (and it is one of only 7 in this crazy grade out of over 750 certified). Features the very 1st Golden Age Flash appearance in the Silver Age, the origin of both Flashes, the first mention of Earth II plus the initial appearances (in the 60's) of Shade, Thinker and Fiddler. To top it off, the cover is a doozy by the talented combo of Carmine Infantino and Murphy Anderson. A fabulous comic book and a worthy investment piece for any collection or portfolio. The record 9.4 sale is for $23,000 (Western Penn copy) and another 9.4 fetched $19,120 in 2008. We seriously doubt if either of those examples look anything like this one. The last 9.2 sale was for $12,199 in April, 2016 so you can see how hot and in-demand this book really is.
