I chose it for a number of reasons

1. It represents a very specific period in DC's history

2. It includes books of every price range.

3. It includes several first appearances or first Silver Age appearances.

4. The exterior checked decoration was combined with an entire marketing scheme, if you see a reader copy at con, open it and look for the Go, Go, Go! advertisements.

5. No Neal Adams, so I don't have to fight with Adams completionists in order to acquire minor books from the run - but also, Adams' first work signals the end of the goofiness of the go-go check era.

Thanks to my friends, I have now completed 2/3rds of the big key issues.

Once I add the grail issue of Detective, this display will be complete.

Happy Hunting!
