    Flash Comics 1 sells for $450,000

    Not a bad return on something bought in 2006. It looks like the 1 Mill sales of both Action 1 and Detective 27 are starting to take effects on other comics, it would seem.

    Finest Example of Flash Comics #1 Sold for $450,000

    A pristine condition copy of Flash Comics #1 sold privately for $450,000 on March 12, 2010 through an efficient new service designed to unite successful bidders from earlier auctions with eager new buyers, according to Heritage Auctions of Dallas, Texas.

    The seller had originally obtained it for $273,125 in a January 2006 Heritage auction, and the buyer initiated this latest purchase directly through the new "" (MoTO) feature available in Heritage's Permanent Auction Archive.

    "This is the finest known copy of the 1940 DC Comics first appearance of the Flash and Hawkman," said Ed Jaster, Vice President of Heritage Auctions. "It's graded by CGC as Near Mint Plus 9.6, and it was part of the famous Edgar Church 'Mile High' Collection, universally considered the finest comic book collection of all-time."

        Let's see: a house and a car and a trip around the world, or a comic book. House, car, trip around the world... comic book. God why can't making these big decisions be easier!
