Or also longest unfilled want? Not counting something like say Action #1 with the coloring contest page intact if you have written it off as never going to happen?
I think X-Men #110 is top of the list and on the longest. I just balk at paying for a fill-in issue the same as for the regular team issue. #106 would be even more so the same except I did actually have it once, it's probably the one issue I will never get back though, or at least the very last one.
That's actually kind of it for my list now outside of X-Men... I'm glad I have been able to fill many long time wants fairly economically lately! The facsimile editions have helped on a few of those biggies. I have a few obscuro Ditko items I'd rather not name, although I have made a few inroads lately and gotten some of those Robin Snyder published comics/books.

Oh yeah, just thought of another item; a color Dave Cockrum poster that came out back at the time of Ms. Marvel and Deathbird in the air. I have wanted that since I first knew about it, the last thing to go with a full run of the '70s comic and a plastic promo cup with wraparound Cockrum art. I have no idea what it might cost so haven't put it in the out of reach category. I guess if I wanted one really badly I'd have been looking a lot harder.

I sold my copy of Amazing Fantasy #15, just over a decade
ago and, after agreeing to do it, felt an instant remorse
over it.
That, along with an MTU page by John Byrne, would be on my
want list.

I wish I’d have known, I traded a MTU page for an Iron Fist page a while ago. The issue with Yellowjacket and Wasp. The guy is trying to get the entire issue.

One of my favorite issues..... though, truth be told, a dI
have several from that run. The brutality and pathos, as
depicted by Chris and John, melted my young brain. I blame
them for all that has followed since.

I’m a Silver and Bronze Age completionist collector, so I try to just keep extending my consecutive runs. Not surprisingly, the extensions tend to get stone walled for years when the next book on my list is a key issue. For example, some of the issues on my want list that have been there for years are:
Daredevil #7 - First red costume Spider-Man #41 - First Rhino Avengers #11 - Early Spider-Man cross over Batman #232 - First Ras Al Ghul Green Lantern #7 - First Sinestro

I had the first three of those five, the Marvel ones. I've noticed that Avengers #11 became a sort of 'key' since I parted with it. I've given up on getting back any '60s (or earlier) comics I once had based on the prices, just settle for what reprints of various kinds there are to have any of it. The only '60s comic I now have would be a Heroes Inc. someone local gave me (with all the Wood art).

I have two pages of original art from FF5, my first. I’m greedy. I want more!

Just because I already had it and sold it, I want NEW MUTANTS 98. It’s the
only one I’m lacking from the series.
I would like to eventually get X-MEN 1-93 since I already have 94- I don’t
even know, 400-something, maybe 500-something. But I don’t know how
realistic that would be.
Most of what I go after nowadays are Omnibus editions.

I'm slowly getting back my collection in collected form 1975-1980. Recently got the Peter Parker the Spectacular Spider-Man Omnibus #1 which covers my entire reading run.
A couple of tough ones tho; Atlas/Seaboard, haven't found any collections of that yet. And one that really baffles me, Superman. My first Superman issue was #288 then I had a nice string without missing an issue thru the rest of '75. For some unknown reason DC hasn't reprinted most these. You'd figure the most well known comic book superhero on the planet would've had all of his stories reprinted 3 times over. Baffling.

Top 4 items on my want list:
(1) A John Byrne commission. (2) Daredevil # 1. (3) Any page from JB's first run on Avengers, Marvel Team Up, X-Men, Alpha Flight, or Fantastic Four. (4) Any page of original art from Camelot 3000.
Why:
(1) Ever since the early days of Mid-Ohio Con (and one Hudson Con, if my memory still works), I would go and see JB, get books signed, and watch him sketch. One year he and Frank Miller did a Superman-Batman piece for charity, and JB was the auctioneer. As a kid, I had no money and would think one day . . . then, as an adult, I finally had a job, had disposable income, and had reached out to Jim Warden to get a commission. Then my dog got sick, and I needed the commission money for his care. Not soon after, JB stopped doing commissions.
(2) One of the only series I have every almost every issue of; one day . . .
(3) This 52 year old wants such art for I suspect the same reason JB wants pages from FF # 5. Because the 6-year-old me wouldn't believe it was even possible!
(4) For sentimental reasons and because Brian Bolland's art in this series was just beautiful.
