What are some of the most valuable/expensive game PCB's?

I know that there are some kits that are pretty expensive as seen by the NOS Major Havoc conversion kit. But what about single PCB's that demand a high price? I know that a Major Havoc PCB by itself doesn't cost close to half of what the auction ended at. So what are some PCB's whose cost alone can be almost the same as a complete conversion kit?
 
How much do those usually run?

It depends. I've seen them go for around $400 working. Only slightly less non-working. There for a while Quantum URs were commanding $1500 for ones in B+ condition. No so much anymore I'd imagine.

They go for more than MH/Tollian Web boards.
 
I think it goes without saying that the newest PCBs are still pretty stupid expensive... SF4, newer DDR boards, blazblue etc.
 
Really? Then, this is a fairly decent deal: http://sacramento.craigslist.org/vgm/1611538263.html Original CPO and Bezel. I don't know what the hell they did with the marquee space.

I believe Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike usually goes for around $250-300.

That marquee is some of the most crackheaded shit I've seen in a long time. Something tells me they don't have any living house pets. I'd bring backup picking that one up.
 
Pricey, relatively speaking:

Star Wars
Star Trek Strategic Simulation
Paperboy
Battlezone
Lunar Lander
Pacman / Ms Pacman
Anything which uses a laser disc
Omega Race boards which aren't half-eaten by the suicide battery
Working Spy Hunters

Top dollar:

Punch Out/Super Punch Out
Anything by Moppet Video
Ditto any working Exidy 440 games
Black Widow
Gravitar
Red Baron
Major Havoc (duh)
The Simpsons
Atari System 1 games Marble Madness, Indiana Jones and Peter Packrat, Road Blasters however are a dime a dozen.
Vectorbeam games Sundance and Barrier, in any condition
I, Robot
Working prototypes of any kind

In contrast, PCBs which are nearly given away:

Mortal Kombat
Asteroids
Space Invaders
Bottom of the 9th
Super Pacman
