What makes a "Key" Comic

What makes a "Key" Comic
rgeer3 Posts: 8 3/30/2016	rgeer3 Posts: 8 I was rather curious about this. I have been reading/collecting for near 30yrs on and off. But I have never really been able to figure this one out. Now, I know the obvious ones. 1st App, Origin Story, Death of, etc., but what about others. Let's take Uncanny X-Men #375 as an example. It is priced higher than those around it, and even OSG goes out of their way to denote a Autopsy of Wolverine in their book. So, does this imply that it is key? When labeling my comics for storage, should I bother tagging Key comics with a Key Symbol or something? Or maybe what makes it key.. i.e. Autopsy of Wolverine.
