Top 3 for me will always include (in no particular order)

 

Action #1

Detective Comics #27

Marvel Comics #1

 

The remaing two will vary depending on what the criteria is but I'd choose from the following:

 

Superman #1

Batman #1

MPFW #1

Whiz #1

Captain America #1

For what it is worth, I believe BATMAN #1 is under-rated. It is the first appearance of the Joker and the Catwoman. The Joker is perhaps the greatest villian of all-time and we all love villians.

 

There is an opinion out there that BAT#1 is a common book. That might be so compared to a Superman 1 but availability (supply) isn't a bad thing. That helps create a market. Can't own something you can't find. Besides, it really isn't a common book, esp in high grade (unrestored).

 

Books like Marvel #1, All-American 16, Captain America 1, More Fun 52, etc might be scarce compared to Batman 1 but those characters don't have the popular culture appeal (Demand) that Batman has and moving forward into time Batman and the Joker will live on in spades. Capt America, Green Lantern, human Torch, etc will always be second/third tier characters. One just has to see the record breaking $$$ #s that came out of the Batman movies.

 

I think in 15-20 years, the 5 most expensive comics will be:

Detective 27

Action 1

Amazing Fantasy 15 (don't be surprised to see other silver age marvel books make the top 10)

Batman 1

Superman 1

 

For near-term investment, I would look at

Detective 140, Detective 168 and Batman 47. They are tough books and will benefit from the Batman franchise.

 

Batman 1 deserves more love. It is an important book. Superman 1 is just a reprint of the first couple of Actions with a new pin-up (yawn). IMO, Supply isn't the most important factor, DEMAND is and BATMAN is the most popular comic book character and will continue to be for years to come.

 

just my 2cents :0)

I agree with most all except that unrestored Supes 1 is much harder to come by than unrestored bats 1 (thumbs u
