Since you guys are the only ones I (sort of) know that would appreciate the significance... I bought the Silver age Flash #123 at Comicpalooza in Houston a couple weekends ago.

Sweet! How much did it cost?
I managed to get a few Silver Age Rogues appearances for $5 each a few weeks ago. That was pretty nice, although the issues aren't in great shape.

Oh wow. Is it slabbed? If not, you'll have to frame it A fellow at ComicArtFans bought the original cover art for that issue recently. I really wonder how much he paid for it (or even who had it for sale, because I hadn't known it was on the market).

I may be remembering incorrectly - but don't you own all of the silver age issues?

I may be remembering incorrectly - but don't you own all of the silver age issues? I own copies of all the stories, but not necessarily the original issues. The earliest ones I have in the form of the Flash Archives, and I think there are a few from the early 1960s where both stories have been reprinted in later issues. The original ones I do have from that period aren't in the greatest condition, because I was only looking for a way to read the stories. So a $650 copy of Flash of Two Worlds is still really impressive!

I didn't know the issue was worth that much. Well done sir.
