Description
WOW!!!! Look at this monster! Second best existing copy of one of the best issues of the entire run!!! A ridiculous 9.4 with off-white to white pages, near-perfect centering, insane color strike and a flawless look. Really can't see how this absolute blazer is not the second 9.6 in the world, but 9.4 will have to do (and it is one of only 7 in this crazy grade!). 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 last 9.4 offered for sale went for $17,925 last February. The record 9.4 sale is for $23,000 in 2004 (Western Penn) and we seriously doubt if that example looks anything like this one. A 9.2 just sold for $12,199, a record price for a 9.2 (in September, 2018).
