GI Joe #1 and Spider-man #1 have maintained or increased in value over the years.  I was surprised at what CGC 9.8's are commanding on Spider-man 1. I remember buying a green 9.8 and silver 9.8 for $50 to submit to McFarlane at CGC to be signed.

I gave away three or four Green 9.8s for free last year--one of them here in the holiday raffle.  They were all about 40-50 bucks at the time, and one I picked up for barely the cost of a slab in early 2020.  But even more surprising for me is Spawn #1.

This might be one of the earliest, and I think its only lagging Vampi 1 in market value. But in terms of calling its shot, it may be #1. Lobo was the first black protagonist in his own book. Only lasted 2 issues, as many distributors allegedly received them back unsold. If I recall correctly, I got that apocrypha from reading an interview with artist Tony Tallarico.

Great example of a non-#1 collector's item issue.

This one missed the mark.

Although it could be in the running for one of the worst covers ever.
