I'm sure several here have put together some nice complete runs on some of these titles. I was thinking of attempting this myself, but wanted to know which runs are considered the most rare, or most difficult to complete. I was thinking of attempting a "Crime Does Not Pay" run, but thought about attempting one of the smaller series first. Some of these titles only have a few books in them anyways, but sometimes those are the most difficult to complete due to obscurity. Thoughts? Experiences?

Does anyone know where I might find an Excel checklist for CDNP or crime comics in general??

This book is the only one devoted to the topic:

Crime Does Not pay is doable except for the first few issues but a long run. I have several short runs complete. One of my favorites is this one. Had it a long time. Would be pretty costly to duplicate it now.

A few more cool short runs. I usually don't need to have full runs of them. I just pick out specific books I really like. Like everything, they have gotton pretty pricey.
