This is my favorite comic in my collection right now. I will follow it up with my close second.  I’ve had over half the copies in the census, including highest and second highest graded, but this book always gives me the Warm feeling the cover implies. 
 

 It's been a long time since I have seen true love like that in any relationship

 Planet Comics #31. It's pre 1945, with a fight in progress scene, and GGA.

Since price, scarcity, etc... is out the window I’d say these 2 (sorry, it’s a tie here)  I’ve usually had copies in my collection due to their beauty/horror elements. Still my favorite Everett cover on Venus. The Misfits connection also helps the Chamber book.

Is this golden age?  1955?  If so, this one.

First comic I set my mind on when I returned to collecting,discovered internet searching in 2008,lucky me I found a nice one.(no scan of my raw copy atm,but it's in my sig)

I'm in the same boat with you on Chamber,yes Misfits is how I discovered it as a kid, and will add this:

Not my rarest or most pricey books,but up there.also NFS

I think technically Silver Age didn't begin until Showcase 4, cover dated October 1956.  So presumably anything before that might be considered Golden Age.  I'm sure there will be other opinions, LOL.

Both beauties and books I’ve never owned. I waited too long thinking I would always be able to get them. That ship has probably sailed leaving a couple gaping holes in my PCH collection..,

Never get tired of that one Gino! The skull “noise maker” is also a nice touch. I don’t think I have ever seen a copy for sale, ever...

I guess this is mine, at least until my willpower breaks and I decide to sell it (been tempted, just waiting for the right offer and mood to strike me)

Since there’s a thread now on what to do with your books when you die I’ll add you in my will for both...

Just don’t try to poison me or cut my brake lines to speed things up...

Whoa! Nice 4.5!

If we're talking about comics from any age, it's probably this one just because it's so cool.

But for GA, and really all ages, this is my favorite book. I saw the cover reprinted in the book Batman: From the Thirties to the Seventies when I was 8(a Christmas present), and just loved the cover. The interior stories are also great too, with striking Jerry.Robinson art.
