You're actually right about this, though Chew #1 has been out for how long now?
9 weeks. June 3rd it was released.

BTW GPA gives a different story on ASM 300 namely that all grade categories have plateaued or are down. As well, GPA also says that there are over 3K up for auction right now. So is selling only 100 a month really "hot" as you say it consistently sell around 100 and the price is holding at $x ... so by what definition is the book "hot".

I am not trying to discourage you from making such lists but maybe trying to use more sources than you are now will lend to less debate/trouble down the road. Making these lists isn't an easy thing when there are so many titles released every month and thousands of back issues to look through. BTW I think Wednesday Comics is probably pretty hot too. I have heard of it selling quite well in a few places.

Spruce213, I am right there with you, you've been surfing E-bay as well, I can tell!
I think the price of GI joes comics in general are on a steady rise, but I feel the real key issue in the series is not 1 but 21. The cgc 9.8's of this book seem to have no ceiling, I just bought a 9.4 for 115 and I was happy to pay it!!! I have a few buddies in Raleigh that will pay me late 1's for it!
You left off Y the last man and preacher 1, but i think any successful vertigo series that runs it's course will eventually have the same fate as Sandman 1, hot as hell while it's in the public conscious, but as the hype dies down, so will the price!
What do you think about the first anti-venom in Amazing Spiderman 569???

I have been doing some digging and I just realized that the early Arkham asylums should be worth way more than they are.
Batman 258, 326, and 521 are considered the key issues, 1st recognized mention, 1st appearance, and first new appearance, but the origin that was eventually expanded upon in Grant Morrison's classic was create in all places who's who vol 1, number 1.
Overstreet does not even mention them, i feel that due to the game, and the history that has now been built around the place it should be worth a ton, if 1st silver age bat-mobiles and bat-caves are considered key issues than Arkham should be worth more too!! 
I got the info from DC historian Bob Rozakis.

It probably sounds really stuffy and dismissive to say so, but nothing new is worth more than the cover price to me. Don't care what it is. New Spiderman, Hulk, Green Lantern and Daredevil variants instantly packaged by the store for $69 to $100 or more a pop? To me, it always seemed silly, because new comics will have much larger and longer active circulations than older back issues, and to say that "this comic is worth X amount because we don't know if there will be more prints" is a lame approach to pricing. I'm sure some of the prices aren't too inflated relative to their actual collectible value, but they all seem inflated to me.
In this case "new" to me is anything that's been produced in the past 5 years or so, in particular very recent issues.

I don't really buy any books from 2000 and up. Well some Ultimate books.
And this variant thing, ugh! I went into one LCS and this guy had variants going for almost 100 bucks. A hundred bucks! People are paying for the cover art. Don't they get it?
