Any books with a very restricted print run will naturally sort themselves off of the bottom of a list like this as well. And another flaw is that some very-high-value comics simply didn’t have many copies printed. Of course, there are some limitations and flaws to this approach to keep in mind before reviewing the list: for one thing, this submission data is from one snapshot in time (January 19, 2021) and there could be plenty of important 1960’s comic books that aren’t recognized as such until some future development gives them renewed attention. So by ranking comic books simply by the number of copies submitted to CGC - removing any judgment call or sales price information - I’d argue we can get to a pretty darn good list of important comic books from the 1960’s! The thinking here is that the more important the comic book as a key 1960’s issue, the more likely its owner will want to have it professionally graded and slabbed. Here’s what you’re about to see: what follows is a different approach to “tease out” a list of 1960’s comic book key issues to consider collecting, by asking the following question: for each comic book issue of the 1960’s that has passed through CGC’s doors to date, how many copies have been graded? Personally, the only two types of lists of key silver age comic books by year that I’ve ever seen are either: (1) personalized lists based upon judgement calls of what is most important to the particular writer, and (2) lists based upon high sales price data (which can often be influenced by the grade of what was sold). Here’s how this list of important 1960’s comic books you’re about to see will differ from ones you’ve seen before. When contemplating putting up this page, I thought to myself, “how can I possibly add anything to what is already known about the silver age?” Subscriptions provide access to Key Alert Push Notifications, Hot Keys, Dollar Bin Diver and other curated content that is updated on a daily basis.The Silver Age of comics: many a collector’s favorite time period, and also one of the most extensively studied… with the list of “key” issues pretty much widely known in the hobby, and most of them occurring during the 1960’s.
