ft88 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Seeing the Action 242 thread made me think of a question. What are the top 10 silver age keys a Superman family collector would want? Here are some I think are MUST haves, would like to here from everyone: Superman 100 Action 242 Action 252 Lois Lane 1 Adventure 247 Adventure 300 Superboy 68 The following three are just....pre code by a couple months, but for most of us they are major SA Supes keys: Jimmy Olsen 1 Adventure 210 World's Finest 71 This is my top 10 list (in no particular order) So, you can see I left out Showcase 9 and 10.....they just don't do it for me... What do you guys think? In the conversation. Superman 123 - first Superwoman Superman 199 - Flash race/classic cover Superman 106 - Origin details/classic Luthor cover Superman 127 - 1st Titano Adventure 276 - 1st Metallo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
