This is my rough first attempt, feel free to modify/add to it. A key book is a significant first appearance or book that has some other unusual quality that makes it desirable, for instance Strange Adventures #79. A book is not key based solely on value. It also has to have some significant quality. One characteristic of keys is the issues before and after them are significantly lower in value. Key: $50-$300 book Super key: $301-$1000 book Mega Key: $1,001-$5,000 book Ultra key: $5,001-$10,000 book Super Mega Key: $$10,001-$50,000 book Pinnacle key: over $50,000 Some thought should be put into what condition these values are based on-I'll leave that to others.

Value is too fluid. No I said that in my post-value alone does not define a key. So did we just imagine your proposal of a scale that defines keys solely by value?

I should have researched that more! No, we are on cgccomics.com/boards right now. NGC and CGC are both part of CCG, but the boards have been completely separated for years.

kav Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 Ok I see you posted a confused reaction-let me help you understand-Keys are determined by value and significance. I made a chart to go with the value part of the equation. I did not chart the 'significance' part of the equation, although I guess that may be possible. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcjames Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) Then you can also go down from there for the "lower scale keys" Centikey (maybe like IH181, etc) Millikey (maybe like ASM129) Microkey Nanokey Picokey Femtokey Attokey Zeptokey Yoctokey (most worthless issue ever) Edited January 19, 2020 by jcjames KirbyJack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keys are not determined solely by value. Worth reminding that "condition" doesn't necessarily mean CGC grading, but as you mentioned in your 1st post, conditions that the 1 book could be set apart from the rest of the run Also, there are hatchlings FF #1 = a key, hence a hatchling would be #2 & #3 in succession and value.... I don't want to think that hard, I respect you for trying, and it isn't always said value, because supply and demand Edited January 19, 2020 by ADAMANTIUM kav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
