151 holds a special spot in my heart as it’s how I purposed you my wife. We went on a little weekend getaway and as we were resting in our hotel I told her I wanted to read her my favorite Flash story so I pulled out the issue and read it to her. At the very end of it I had a Sticky note attached that said will you marry me. Needless to say almost 3 years later and here we are

Very nice KJ!!! Do you mean when you bought it the case had been opened and then snapped back together?

No just no inner well/tray had been put in the case for the book so the case itself was pressing onto the book

That's strange? I've always been curious about their process when re-encapsulating comics. Do they give it a new catalog number each time? And what does that do to the census numbers? I mean, I've heard some people just send them in a second time just to see if they can get a better grade. Do those comics get counted twice in the census?

My 139 came in today!!! So happy to have it. I really thought that it would be about a year or more before I would get one. Just goes to show sometimes you never really know when your are going to get what. I was really aiming for a 111 these next few months and stashing a little away for my planned 106 purchase sometime early next year but sometimes things change. If you told me last month that within weeks I would have a Showcase 13 and a 139, I would have never believed you! ... its all part of the fun of collecting.:whee:

117 is officially home. Another quick turn around for the reholding. Bought this last year off eBay. It had no inner well, just the slab against the book on both sides. Needless to say I wasn’t to pleased so I finally sent it in to get it reholded.

No inner well. hm I would contact CGC and ask them to reholder it on their dime.  Maybe they would cover shipping back and forth as well.

I think that's what just happened, he resubmitted it and just got it back yesterday. :) And look at that, we are on page 152 Flash Fans....I gotta go warm up the old scanner...I don't know about you guys, but this thread has been quite the respite for me during the crisis. Chatting with you fellow Flash fans has really helped me make it through the long hours at work, stress and worry...I just wanted to say thanks!

Again with the primary colors, beautiful design, great angle by the master Infantino, very funny subject matter! How can the Trickster outrun the Flash on a tricycle!!?? (Made you buy the comic to find out) :grin:
