Matching Number First Edition Signed Limited Numbered Key Set
Skelton Studio / IDW
All items are Very Fine and as new

PLEASE, NO REQUESTS TO SELL ONE OR TWO KEYS
THEY ARE BEING SOLD AS A COMPLETE MATCHING NUMBER SET ONLY !

First, Let's be absolutely clear here - Not all the true first edition / release keys were numbered - Some were what was called a legacy version, but they were still the true first edition, and the genuine TRUE first release of the key
Some of the keys have seen multiple releases, most notably the Ghost key seeing 8 versions and the Head key a mind numbing 9 versions - There is however only ONE First edition !

What's included in the sale, is the true first edition and release of every key produced up to the Timeshift Key, plus a bonus limited edition later release key, and the amazing Bode bust too
After the Timeshift Key, the studio changed how they released later their keys, with them coming in a box instead of a bag, and no longer coming with tags and rarely being numbered limited editions
As a result, these earlier keys are really the only keys of consequence to collectors, being the real true first released keys, with most of them numbered and limited editions and signed too
There are 32 items in the set - 31 Keys and 1 Bode bust
All keys and the bust are new and unused, and come in their original bags or boxes, as required
26 of them have been signed, some of them by multiple contributors and quite a number by Joe Hill too
All the numbered keys (including the bust) are all the same matching number in the 300's

Here's what's included in this amazing set:
