#5. Spawn #1 (1992)

This regular edition is all over the map when it comes to value. Nearly two million copies of this comic was sold. There are six copies in the CGC census with a grade of 10. Another 66 copies of this comic have a 9.9 grade and there are nearly 6,000 graded at 9.8. All that to say, if you want this comic, don't think it's rare if you see a high CGC grade.
Record sale: $4,850 (CGC Grade: 9.9) and $140 (CGC Grade: 9.8)
Minimum value: $1

#2. The Walking Dead #1 (2003)

This is the first issue in this comic book series turned into a television show. A 9.8 copy of this comic was once sold for nearly $3K. A year later a 9.8 copy was sold for $2K. I think the person who purchased this comic for its record sale may have some buyer's remorse in their future.

#1. Amazing Spider-Man #667 (2011)

This Gabriele Dell'Otto variant cover was sold on a 1:100 ratio. That means comic book shops had to order 100 copies of the standard cover to get one of the variant covers. This comic was released with little fanfare and few variant covers were sold. Only 48 copies have been graded in the CGC census.
Record sale: $20,000
Minimum value: $2,500
