Friday Night Lists is running a list of the 15 Most Expensive Comic Books, and a copy of Flash Comics #1 — specifically the Mile High pedigree copy rated CGC NM+ 9.6 — ranks at #5, valued at an estimated $274,000.
As recently as 2006, it was estimated at “only” 250,000. That’s still a bit out of my price range, though. I think I’ll stick with my $35 copy of The Golden Age Flash Archives Vol. 1 for now.
The post also says that the “milestone issue is currently ranked as the eighth most valuable comic book of all.” I’m not entirely sure how that fits with the ranking at #5 in the list.
Here’s a question for one and all: what’s the oldest Flash comic you own?
Mine? A battered copy of All Flash #4 from 1944.

We may be tied! Did you mean All-Flash #4 from 1942, or All-Flash #14 from 1944?
My oldest is a (battered, also) copy of All-Flash #4
You win, O’ Mighty Kelson.
It’s #14 from Spring of 1944.
