By my count there are 38 different GA issues which have actually achieved a $100K purchase price.

The newest entrants ARE books with less pop culture importance.   Either "cover only" books like Suspense 3 or "tag along" books like Action 2, 7, 10, 13 which might impress comic geeks but don't have the cache of the typical "first appearance" and "first issue" books like Action 1, Detective 1 and 27, Superman 1, Batman 1, All-Star 3 and 8, Sensation 1, All-American 16, Marvel Comics 1, etc.  

So, yeah, the neighborhood may be going down hill.  Sort of like when the drummer of Metallica moved into a mansion on the top of Pacific Heights in SF with the rich business guys and old money.

Metallica is one of the biggest selling groups of all time.  https://www.riaa.com/gold-platinum/?tab_active=top_tallies&ttt=TAA#search_sectionPlus, Lars is married to Wonder Woman's mom! He raised property values!

Nah ... he just dated her, had a kid (not married), and he moved on to a younger woman.  Which is actually pretty tame compared to the personal life of real Pacific Heights heavy weights like the Getty's.  

Since it did not come through, my post was tongue in cheek.  New money?  New $100Ks?  Who cares, they still are worth a lot.  Many folks here think Suspense 3 is a rock star.

he's worth about $350 million, so he can afford a lot of things!

yes, it came through, he is barely up to his current model wife's chin! he looks like an elderly child next to her. true, nielson also dwarfed him, but he didn't look like a little old man then.
