| Ive seen this on eBay for a very long time. my understanding is ashcan is what a publisher publishes when they want to be first to market for copyright purposes. this book is a 9.6 from 1939. this seems like it would/should be a very desirable book. curious as to why it hasnt sold yet despite the very high price tag. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.ca%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F122319959353 |

| A lot of watchers. Wonder how many ridiculous offers he’s gotten. $1.2 mil for flash, not sure he’s worth that much. | ||

| I think this is more of an item for a billionaire. After you shell out the 2 million for your Detective #27 & Action #1, there are still a lot of expensive cool Golden age comics that you'd want to own more. | ||

| I believe the current record sale for a FC#1 is about a half-million. There are very few of these available. This ashcan, I could see getting maybe double that. But then again, if you have a million to burn on a flash comic, whats another half? |

Ironically. I just saw a folder on my computer where I'd saved other scans of ashcan comics. Not mine of course..         It should be noted for newer collectors, these are "real" ashcans. The word is tossed around with modern preview comics, but these are the real thing which spawned the word. |

| How many #1 AshCan issues of Flash Comics are there? I thought Mark Zaid owned it? | ||

 I bought a meat grinder on amazon for $60 and it's changed my life.

| You would think that someone selling a million dollar comic book would take better photos and more of them. | ||

 SpongeBob Comics #1 sells for $991!

| And offer a free private courier service to deliver it. And a steak dinner to talk about it. I get that the ashcan is crazy rare, but I’d honestly rather have the colored production book. | ||

| I could be careful with Ashcans. Being black and white I could see someone with minimal skill set counterfeiting these. I had heard that many DC Ashcans were taken from the file of DC back I the 70's. The unicorn is Double-Action Comics #1, I have seen it. Yes it does exist. It was in a safety deposit box in Florida, and has recently been sold privately, if I recall. It is actually a cover swipe from Adventure Comics #41. I tried to get it years ago, but the seller estimated he could get at least 50K. I didn't have that kind of loose change. He also had a high grade of the Double-Action #2, but as I understand it there were at least 5 of those and he took the Ashcan and one of the #2's |

The current one on eBay being the earliest by beating out the two Fawcett Flash Comics by one month. Fwiw, I looked on Mark Zaid's website, and though he shows a few ashcans, Flash Comics is not one of them. |

| @earthshaker01 There was an DA #1 ashcan along with a DA #2 sold through CC a couple years ago. Was that the one you're thinking of? | ||
