I get it, growing up my allowance was $.25 a week, but that said more about my parents than it did the market. I was still able to put together a decent collection. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i'll bite. i collect alot of raws, ranging throughout the eras.

I think it's a good way to separate the valuable comics with ones that aren't yep , the word "key" is very important to the hobby , most hobbies included, in the coin collecting community for example ,.. with the Lincoln cent there are keys - 1909 SVDB, 1914 D, 1955 DD, 1931 S 1924 D ect... there are semi-keys 1913 S 1926 S 1922 D 1915 S ect.. and there are minor keys 1933 D 1955 S 1931 D 1917 S ect..... kav and FoggyNelson 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
