First release Series One: Flash. The original nine figures in the ARAH line on 9-back card are exceptionally rare. This auction presents a unique opportunity for one collector to get a head start on the full 9-back run by grabbing four of the nine!
Incredibly, this example sports a perfect o-ring and has no leg movement whatsoever. The front of the card looks great with only a few vertical veins above the hangtab. The back is a bit rougher with a several veins and a horizontal blemish within the white stripe near the top. Bubble is crystal clear and retains perfect form. Figure is elite and sports an impressive 90 subgrade. Overall, a true 1982 first release gem. Smart money says this piece will be of special interest to vintage G.I. Joe collectors.
