Love that date stamp. From the looks of the book and the cert number, it looks tightly graded !

I agree it appears to a 9 or higher unless there's something we can't see?

Too bad they don't make these in long box size! This is the first Flash themed custom box I've seen!

Awesome!!! Love that cover! Congratulations! I believe that was the first John Broome story? How does it feel to own a Flash showcase? Tell us more?

I had debated buying this one. Nice to see it went to a good home. Now if I can find one that I can afford.....

I need a 151 too! And a 152!!! There's a little gap in my SA collection there. Love that 153 cover though! Classic Carmine!

I think Broome did the back up story in SC 4 (classic Broome Sci Fi) and know he did Cold in SC 8. I actually think he created all the Rogues. Kanigher was basically still writing Golden Age stories. The Turtle is very Golden Age - the heaping or irony, the outwitting the villain rather than out powering him. Broome may be the second most important creative writer of the era after Kirby. He is certainly up there with Ditko and Lee. This is from memory, but I would be stunned to think Cold was not his. Anyway very nice book. I have always loved that cover and the Shade.

Broome also worked with Infantino in the GA I think it was 103 and 104. I would love to know more about him but I haven't found much. He's my favorite Flash -script writer. Appearently moved out of the country in the late 60's and mailed his scripts in?? was 194 really his last Flash credit?

Favorite silver age book for sure.  Glad I was able to finally track a lower grade with white pages

You are a very fortunate Flash fan indeed!!! I will probably never own one. I did get to see one in person once at the 2016 ACCC. I should have had my son take a picture of me with it!? Congratulations, you are one of the few to own the holy grail of the silver age!!!
