I always thought it was Wayne. Merritt is not far behind.

Unfortunately I have found that the sets released in the last decade or so tend to be the ones that go for the most on CD these days. I think a lot of this has to do with the fact that very few were actually manufactured and sold, certainly well below the limit. This is when the sets started to only be around for months, if not in came cases even weeks. Referring to, for instance: Coleman Hawkins, James P. Johnson, Earl Hines, Chick/Ella, Louis Live, Beehive, Savoy/Dial, Woody Shaw Muse, Condon/Freeman, Teddy Wilson. The last two Selects (Tolliver & Rivers) are the same-- based on how much I see them on the resale market vs. the other titles I would really wonder if more than a few hundred were even made. If I recall these went OOP pretty much immediately.  Some that directly precede this era also go for quite a bit, but I think this has more to do with the popularity/desirability of the music, i.e. Braxton, Threadgill, Mingus 64/65, Clifford Jordan, Ahmad Jamal. Otherwise, with a few exceptions previously mentioned (Ferguson, Basie Live Roulette, Nat King Cole, etc.) I find a lot of the 90s/early 00s CD sets especially do not go for all that much anymore. I have acquired a bunch in the last year or two for $50 or less. Frankly the only thing keeping some of these sets above bargain prices at all is the Mosaic aura. Much of the music is losing its audience rapidly. As far as most valuable non-monetarily? If we're talking about the sweet spot between musical quality and (lack of) availability of the material, I would posit the Mingus Workshop set, where some of the material is *only* available there and is all of astounding musical quality. I would also never want to give up my Bradford/Carter Select due to the extra tracks and unreleased session.  One final gripe! Most of the Singles do not go for much at all, except the Helen Merrill/Dick Katz, which people try to sell for absurd sums online for reasons I frankly cannot quite grasp. I have both of the EmArcy EU CDs of this music, but I would love a copy of the Mosaic someday as well. 

Like a freight train.  RIP.
