Comics in your collection which should be in Key Collector but aren't & why 2 2

[MattrixAlien]

All of them? 

The app is pretty comprehensive for first appearances but artist firsts and important story arcs can be MIA for example.

What comic in your collection is a key in your opinion but isn't in the KC app db?

I'll start....

Justice League America #31 (1989) - Adam Hughes first published DC Comics work. Features early cover and full interior pencils.

I use and like Key Collectors, but a great many books listed there are more like "notables" rather than "keys".

Is this really a "key"?

I'm pretty sure there are also lots that aren't actually even notable, let alone key. But I'm not 100% sure because I don't use the Hype Speculator app.

its amazing how developed the app has become.  Is there a paid staff of dozens compiling all the data AND churning out all the hype subsets and lists? I check it every now and then and am amazed at all the work being done.  But I agree that a KEY shouldn't be a book worth a few dollars.  Maybe "notable" element, as you say.  Then again, isn't a KEY just an issue that stands out from the rest for whatever reason?

Thanks for the responses. The topic was actually intended to be about comics which collectors think should be added to Key Collector though

I may be wrong, but I don’t think many in CG really care about Key Collector or whatever they choose to hype in their app. You may find some takers in the modern section.

I prefer finding keys the old fashion way...reading the dang book.

When that app omits a particular key or gets it wrong, that is a good time to buy the book & keep that information to yourself.

Why give free help to a money-making app when you're not being paid.
