I struggle with silver age books compared to today's modern titles. I find the silver age books to be dated and not relevant to what matters today. This is obvious as the books were written in the 60s and 70s and may not correlate well to 2022.
This list captures some recent pickups that I've acquired in an attempt to find a silver age book that works for me.
Picked up some reader grade silver keys from a Montreal vendor (I'll get the name for next time) at the Capital Comic Show. These are all $3-$4 comics at reader grade.
