What's a good book to grab now for long term hold (5+ years) that's under $100 raw now?

     There's a new group of collectors that are now focused on buying books as investments.  They are commonly referred to as "speculators" often citing a particular article that reveals a character to be introduced on to the big screen or make their way into a new series.  Books can be dollar books and overnight, if not within minutes, climb to high value books often times 10x what they were originally worth.  So I posed this question in a group I'm in to find what would be a good book to pick up now before it's out of reach.  Here's a list of the books that would be wise investments in no particular order.
