Our list covers 200 series. Not on our list does not mean not a key: check a price guide or another key list as well.

What the list is

  • 606 key issues across 200 series. It is the list Point and Sell's review screen checks each comic against.
  • Not on our list does not mean not a key. Plenty of keys are not on it, so check a price guide or another key list as well.
  • It says why an issue is a key, not what it sells for. The pricing guide covers finding that out.
  • Capitals and a leading "The" do not matter, and punctuation counts as a space, so "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "amazing spider man" are one series. "#300", "300" and "0300" are one issue.
  • A series that was started over can have more than one #1. Where the list knows which run an entry is for, it gives the years. Check the year on your cover.
