Why do keys not count as classic covers? (shrug)

 

They do ! :screwy:

 

Show me a slab of a key (1st appearance) with "classic cover" on the label. I've only been looking over the last week, but I've never seen one.

From the Overstreet glossary:

CLASSIC COVER - A cover considered by collectors to be highly desirable because of its subject matter, artwork, historical importance, etc.

 

CGC is inconsistent when noting this designation on the label. Sometimes they will follow Overstreet, sometimes they decide what is a "classic cover".

 

The most recent books I can think of with this designation are Iron Man 128 and Ghost Rider 35 (both from 1979).

Oh ! "on the label"? I don't know what CGC considers classic , I was assuming what those board members overwhelmingly considered "classic" .

 

 

Off the top of my head , I would personally think ASM #50 , maybe #122 , GL #76 , SS #4 , FF #12? , and several other X-Men , Avengers , FF's , ASM , etc. Especially some Neal Adam's one's.

 

:foryou:

hm , neither of those have "classic cover" on their CGC labels. The oldest one I remember seeing is Batman #251 from 1973. There's gotta be a newer one.

None of the comics you listed has a "classic cover". I thought SS #4 would have the best chance considering it's not a 1st Appearance key but it doesn't.

Like I said before, keys with 1st appearances won't have the "classic cover" label (from what I've seen so far). This is what this whole thread is about. :)

I've assumed that because these keys have the "First Appearance" of whomever already on the label that they don't need the extra "classic cover" notation.

 

I'll have to search the board archives to see if anyone has ever made a list of CGC's "classic cover" comics.

What'd you look at, like one example? Once again, CGC is INCONSISTENT on this.
