Nostomania's 100 Most Valuable Comic Books
Nostomania's 100 most valuable comic books list is recomputed with each pricing update. CGC NM 9.4 is the baseline grade for comparison. This "apples to apples" approach is the only way to create fairly weighted lists. Lists which rank by individual sales from specific dates are inherently inaccurate - a sale which may have occurred a few years ago does not reflect the value of that item today. Clearly, some of these items may not, and probably do not, exist in our baseline grade, but we can always hold out hope - new pedigree collections are still being discovered.
