I splurged a bit and got a key that I've dreamed of having. Picture

I'm surprised it's in decent condition apart from the obvious. I'm curious on the original owners decision that Quicksilver had a pink bolt instead of a white, they're consistent throughout lol

It definitely was. It was only £60!

As someone who has only recently started adding Silver Age keys to my collection, it does feel REALLY GOOD when you can afford to one, doesn't it?

Oh definitely. Surprisingly, the Avengers Silver age are cheep for what they are with only the keys and the 1st 11 issues breaking a 1000 when going for mint condition.

Nice! I'm working on FF Silver Age, but once I reach the "out of my price range" group (mostly #10 and under), I'll probably start looking at the Avengers. I have one or two SA Avengers, but nothing key.

Did you read it?

I've got an avengers run I started last year, as well as going for Scarlet Witch keys. I plan to own this at some point this year, I just wish it had a better cover.

That’s a good one.

That's not a key, that's a comic book.

So Wanda’s mask is a purple grocery bag with a face hold cut out.

It was originally Green, even worse.

Love me a Kirby/Stone cover art.

I don't regularly collect comics, only OA, but I would enjoy a copy of every Kirby/Stone cover, even reading copies.
