The Key Collector Comics App is Giving Away $200 in Credit for the Diamond International Galleries Comic Auction

Published Thu, 30 Aug 2018 15:00:19 -0500

Ever wish you could get your hands on a copy of Amazing Fantasy #15? Well, bidding on one starts at one dollar over at Diamond International Galleries' comic book auction, happening all weekend at digauction.com. We're gonna go out on a limb and say that comic will likely end up being sold for a lot higher than $1, but there's quite a few other graded books up for grabs over there.

And Key Collector Comics, an app for your phone that helps you track valuable "key" issues — those are important issues, usually with the first appearance of a character or one of Jean Grey's various deaths or other milestones — is giving away $200 in credit to spend at the auction. A press release provides more details:

To enter for a chance to win the $200 credit, download the free app by searching Key Collector Comics in the Google Play or Apple App Store. The D.I.G. contest page is accessible from the main screen where one click will simultaneously enter the contest and link directly to the auction site. There is no purchase necessary to enter, no buyer premiums and no reserve prices in this auction.

And some more comics up for bid:

Fantastic Four No. 1 – 1st appearance of the Fantastic Four (1962) CGC Grade: 4.5
