This is one of my favorite of the genre...

Such a difficult thing to quantify, because there is so many genre's crossed and so much individual opinion.

Maybe a tad off subject but worth sharing, I've always thought this was cool:

Well, I started the thread in 2017, and in the past two years the hobby has been on fire 🔥... I think the list of “most valuable GGA books” is due for a 2019-2020 update, if anyone is willing. 
 

FWIW, I liked Rick’s methodology of estimating the value of a 6.0 book, since some of the titles are more or less available in super high grade.

Startling 49 has slipped for sure. Phantom Lady 17 is doing pretty well. I was blown away by this sale:

If I remember correctly, some board members thought at the time this particular book might have gone for an even higher price point considering the only other one close to it in grade was only a single CGC 9.0 graded copy.

I know I'm in the minority but I really like Seven Seas #6 a little more than #4

A lot of love for Blue Beetle #54. Great book but I like #52 way better even though I have never owned one.

Hey Robot Man;

It looks like we either have a great love for the underdog or we just got tired of seeing the same old same old GGA books being hyped in the Overstreet from as far back as the early 70's.  

I also prefer the Blue Beetle 52 with the gorgeous colors over the long acknowledged BB 54.  As for Seven Seas 4, I remember first trying to chase down a Seven Seas 6 and had to settle for a SS 4 instead as consolation since that was the only one which the dealer had at the time.  As for Phantom Lady's, I guess I must also once again be in the minority as I prefer the PL 23 over the PL 17.

All great books, and I don't have the privilege of owning any of them, but I like 49 better than both

This baby has crossed the threshold: Last week HA sold 1 of the 3 highest graded copies (9 in total on the census) for over 3K w/bp. That's treading Venus territory. I have long thought this was one of the most envelope pushing covers in the golden age since @Pat Calhoun did a piece on it way back in CBM. I had to have one after seeing it.  I think what took the title so long to get 'really appreciated' is because though the interiors featured such masters as L.B. Cole, the stories aren't as gruesome as say Atlas books. But as the hobby becomes more cover focused (thank you CGC), Manhunt features some that can stand with the best of them.

I sold my #1, #6 and #9 on the Boards last week, but #14 and this one i am holding onto. This was an upgrade years ago, my previous copy i sold on eBay (should have kept that one too ).  I believe it to be 6.0 -7.5, i'll know for sure one day.  My favorite non hero woman in peril cover 

The highest graded (1 of 3) copy of this book is in the current Clink auction. It will be interesting to see where it lands: https://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?back=%2FAUCTIONS%2FSEARCH.ASP%3FFocusedOnly%3D1%26where%3Dauctions%26title%3Dmanhunt%26ItemType%3DCB%23Item_1367586&id=1367586&itemType=0
