Here are eight recently published comic books that are currently breaking the $100 barrier based on actual reported sales. No CGC, no chase variant covers, no signed editions, no hardcovers or out-of-print collections, just the bare bones of your standard floppy comic book. Do you have any of these in your collection? If so… how long will they stay in your collection?

1. New Mutants #98 by Fabian Nicieza and Rob Liefeld for Marvel and features the first appearance of Deadpool. Original price $1.50 Current market price $195. May 2010 price $70. That's a massive jump up again, and likely to join the Two Hundred Dollar Club next time.

3. Miracleman 15 by Alan Moore and John Totleben for Eclipse.

Original price $1.75. Current market price $150.
