What is the most valuable book of the last 30 years ? No variants . Walking dead 1 ? 

[oldbsturgeon]

It might just be. I was looking and it appears it’s 9.8 pricing on go collect is higher than batman adventures 12 in the same grade.

there are not many non variant 9.8s that break 1000 in modern

What about the Elseworlds 80-page 1-shot? That may not be desirable because of the content, but it's not a variant.

The story was picked up by Scholastic Books, putting it into school classrooms for 20+ years.  The first print was tiny, and every subsequent print sold out.  The Watchmen trade might be the only comic book reprinted more times than Bone #1.  It's a fun story, humble beginnings, even humbler when you see the 1983 Ohio State cartoons, and it's so big for a big portion of a generation it might as well be their Saturday Morning Cartoons.  Those kids are just now old enough to buy a Bone #1.

Good topic to look at:

 

[Brian48]

I would imagine BA 12 would be on the top 10 somewhere if you're excluding variants and such.

That was the first thing I thought of when I saw this thread, but it's not the same question.

My vote goes to WD 1 as well
