My Flash collection dates back some 40 years , i dont have any early issues , mostly my collection runs issues 135-200something.....

its so old and neglected that i never even boarded them (just old bags, they didn't even have boards then that i knew of) , i plan on doing that this winter and also to re-read all of my 15 centers which i remember as being good when i was a teenager,,,,,

Great stories! I don't remember boards until the 80's.

Ooooo! Nice!!! It's also on my list. One of 5 10centers I hope to own one day but still obtainable. Last year, I don't know if you saw it on MCS they had a 117 from the Thompson collectiion $3500 I think? Pretty to look at but waaay out of my price range. Any 10 cent Flash pick up is a cause for celebration!!! What did you do? Have a cigar? A glass of fine wine? Ice cold beer?

I’m going for an entire vol 1 run. My main forcus is 105-140. After that I’ll start to fill in everything else.

I've got almost everything but the keys at this point. I do need the last 40 Or so but those will be easy to get (301-349). I am hoping that one day I will find a .5 105 like yours. May I ask how much I can expect to pay for a book like that. And as a follow up was it more difficult to find in "affordable" shape?

Tough book, I think this one shows up about half as often as the other issues around it.

I'm 17 issues away from 105-350, mostly early issues.  140 seems a little too soon to cut a run short, I'd go up to 175: they have the same look and feel, but they won't be hard to find.

Definitely agree with it being a tough book. I got lucky and found it here on the boards.  It filled a small gap giving me 125-129. 

I decided to start with 105-140 as that portion plus the 4 showcases appearances ( I do have showcase 13 as well) due to the fact it holds a the major first appearances and keys issues to vol 1. Originally I wasn’t going to collect the entire volume I decided to do that after the fact. The main focus however remaind to 140. I need 16 issues and the other 3 showcase books to have that all completed

It will be an amazing collection!!! I believe you posted your Showcase 13 here a while back. I may try and get those as well one day, but it will have to wait until after I put everything else together. Next year I will be looking to pick up a few of the keys. Maybe 123 or 139, a 105 in 1.0 or 0.5 condition? We'll see what's available. This year was the year I filled in all the gaps, getting everything but those last 40 from the 1980's.

I do believe I have. It’s a very beat up copy but I’m only the 3rd owner a guy I used to buy reomcin England sold it to me for $90 after I bought 110 from him.  I know I’ve poated this pic in here before but I’m hoping to update it come next year as I continue filling in the early gaps. However for now here is 105-113
