Ignoring value and rarity these are the ones I would keep out of my collection and here is why:

 

Planet 71: One of the most beautiful comic covers ever made, period.

Earth Man on Venus: Giant purple alien ant eating fairy lady, crazy 50s awesomeness.

Jetta #5: This is the actual book that got me started into collecting comics.

Man O'Mars: Green alien lady, hero space man, and a ray gun...the three ingredients for a great sci fi cover.

Forbidden Worlds: I have a thing for mutant creature covers and this one is probably my favorite of all time.

I am definitely going to be reevaluating my top five after the Jon Berk auction. I know Green Giant one will be bumping one of my previous top fives.

No one is going to be impressed with my picks lol  and I guess I broke the rules since most aren't golden age, but these are the one's I'd pick if I had to only have 5 comics for the rest of my life, just ones I enjoy the most and have sentimental value to me.

Great pick on the Detective Comic book.  I remember buying that one as a cheap back issue when I was a kid.   I read the story and thought.... "Wow... this is really deep.... what if the animals we put a zoo feel just like Batman and Robin did when the aliens placed them in a zoo?"   SPCA must have been proud when this issue came out!

:applause:Great runner ups Larry! The Berk auction and a few since have shook up a lot of peoples choices since this Thread originally dropped. And i'm certain the Mile High heavy HA auction coming up will do so even more.
