Hey Kids, Comics! Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 1 hour ago, oakman29 said: Prices in high grade does'nt always equal key. Wolverine 35 immediately springs to mind. $1k book in 9.8. Sure the heck wouldn't consider it a key! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of Golden Age books will bring in a pretty penny because they're not easy to find. That doesn't automatically make them keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Sinescu Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 (edited) Back to the potential keys, how about one of the books from the Flash vs. Reverse Flash storyline like Flash 323? Edited December 20, 2017 by Martin Sinescu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Posted December 20, 2017 Author Share Posted December 20, 2017 Thanks for the input, everyone! No spoilers here, but I have made a number of changes based on the discussion here. No list will EVER make everyone completely happy, but hopefully it's close to a consensus perspective. I will post the list here once the guide comes out about 7 or 8 months from now... jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Sinescu Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 That list is looking pretty good. Nice to see GI Joe 21, SS 34 and Punisher Limited #1 on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aweandlorder Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 So now that we're done arguing on whether bats 423 is a key let's argue about spawn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McSpidey was the first, though. I'd drop Suicide Squad #1 to make room. Aweandlorder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeksAreMyPeeps Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 By next year Eternal Warrior 4 should be up there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin76 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Thor 337 isn't copper, it's Bronze, came out in 1983 if we are talking 1984-1991. Marvel Graphic Novel 4 came out in 1982 and Spawn 1 came out in 1992. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Graphic Novel 4 came out in 1982 and Spawn 1 came out in 1992. Thor 337 has no bronze feel to me whatsoever. I know people love to say how it seems some titles go bronze or copper or silver or whatever at different times, if anything I would say Thor 337 is the start of its copper age. I may also be in the minority in this, but if the period is only 7-8 years, that seems more a phase than an age. Are we to think 4 more ages have come and gone (or almost gone) since the copper age?

Marvel Graphic Novel 4 came out in 1982 and Spawn 1 came out in 1992. It’s all a bit vague, isn’t it? In earlier posts in this thread, we’ve established that we’re using a (rough) 1982-1992 timeline. We’re not looking at variants or the highest priced books, but those books that are the “keys” that help define or shape the copper era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1Cool Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Surprised there is no: ASM 252, X-Men 266, Batman 386. I'd even pick Thanos Quest 1 over X-Factor 6 at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has ASM 252 & X-men 266....I personally didn't think that Transformer's #1 trades hands that much.... maybe in 9.8 and every once in a while ..... but Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
