The Neolithic key,wonder if CGC would slab it.  I know Yale University owns a copy and same with  old Bill Gates... not sure who  else has one...

Damn. I thought the thing about Gates was a joke. Holy hell a Gutenberg Bible.

Wonder if he lets his mistresses look at it hm

Probably worth the week of grossness associated with it.

It is, but there’s heroes in it too, so I think others passed it over as an answer in the spirit of the question. 

Ah, yeah. I’ve never actually seen a copy

Very hard to say what it'd be worth today. The last sale was in like 1987 for a bit under $6 million. If one came up for sale today I imagine it'd break into the $100M+ range. Imagine if Bezos and Musk both decide they want it these things were printed in the 15th century... they're rare...

First book printed on a press! Let's talk some real dang keys lol 

 

Bill Gates does have rare manuscripts/books collection but I don't know if he owns a copy of Gutenberg bible or not....He owns Codex Leicester, 72 pages of Leonardo da Vinci's hand drawings/writings, probably the most valuable manuscript ever came up in auction
