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.  Encapsulated by AFA (75, 75-85-90), #16332089
