I haven’t had a chance to comment on the “key” discussion, but I have been thinking about it. I like what Web intimated. Namely, that inside this small subset of collecting, Bats 423 is most definitely a key issue. For those of us hunting these high grade CPVs, I would submit that not only is it a key, it’s a major key. Highly coveted and nearly impossible to find. Crazy expensive compared to the issues that immediately proceeded and followed it in the run. Classic cover. And let’s face it, in the era of encapsulation, what’s more important than the cover these days? We are turning our books into posters. As far as a key in the normal sense of collecting, I would consider it a minor key, but a key none the less. I gave examples of other classic covers in my previous post that are most assuredly considered keys by almost everyone and I could name 100 more off the top of my head. IMO classic cover is enough to get er done. Especially if the cover is done by a superstar artist. Jim Steranko and Neal Adam’s, I’m looking at you. I’m not buying the arguement that a Key can ONLY be a first appearance or major storyline. Avengers 164 isn’t a key but it’s part of a major storyline. Secret wars 3. Daredevil 176. The list goes on and on. I tend to think of keys in the major and minor variety. First issues, first appearances, major storylines, classic covers will usually check one of those boxes for me, and the determining factor on which type of key it is is usually, but not always, determined by price. -

If Batman 423 isn’t a key then I suppose you would say silver surfer 4, batman 227 and 251 aren’t keys either? -

After hunting for these books for about a year, I can definitely say the hardest key to find in high grade, in my experience, other than swampy 37, is bats 423. I was lucky enough to snag this from an offline sale a few days ago. -

How often is the census updated? I would have thought each time a book was graded it would be added. I just got back 21 CPVS today and none were added to the census. Is that lar for the course? Do they only update once a month or something? -

I bid on it but it went for way more than I wanted to spend. Well over 300. I have the 9.0 on census and was looking to upgrade. Guess these are exploding faster than I thought they would -

Still looking to pick up a high grade 75 cent copy of 21. If you’ve got one, I’m paying top dollar.
