Even a lot of minor "keys" are just a pinch better than the drek. Hey, now, the Key Collector app clearly shows that every book ever published in the history of comics is a key worth speculating on, and they wouldn't lie to me!

Qalyar Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 This book does present some vaguely philosophical questions about the current market, though. If I had a copy of Hulk 180 and surgically removed the Hulk from the bottom-right panel of the actual "page 16", would that copy be less desirable than this one? What if it was missing the entirely of some random non-Wolverine page? Even for raw books -- but obviously always for those that remain slabbed -- buyers aren't likely flipping open their Hulk 180s on a regular basis to stare at that one Wolverine panel. But is the value of the book the value of the book or just that tiny piece of it, one character in one panel, on one page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the B-list DC villains, maybe? There are many characters with a first brief appearance in silhouette and/or shadow and/or obscured in some other way. There are definitely no characters with a cameo in their first appearance, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I was actually thinking of Killer Croc, who -- as I recall -- is named and has a speaking part in... whatever book that is, I forget, but appears essentially as a black silhouette under a trenchcoat. I do not DC enough to keep track of what is "considered" his first appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not A Clone Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 At least they left a nice silhouette so that someone could clearly tell from the claws that it is Laura Kinney. ADAMANTIUM and Gonzimodo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post blazingbob Posted June 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2022 This is frankly a situation where a label notation that carries a "user defined entry" would be necessary to have it appear on the label since ideally you want standard label notations. If they don't want it on the label that it should have been entered in the notes. Again, the standard selection of defects should have a user defined entry field available for something unique like this. I'm still trying to find out who the "prominent" people in the hobby that CGC talked to. I don't think I'm on the list yet. silverseeker, Larryw7, gadzukes and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
