For pure fun, as well as a means of offering recommendations to others, we're going to try to construct the perfect hypothetical back issue collection.
Much like a time capsule, everyone is allowed to contribute one issue or run. No length or space limitations, but it must be chosen based upon its inherent qualities and not collectibility or historical importance alone. It should also be something that an average collector could foreseeably afford to own.
No trades/collected editions unless that was the original published format for the story or the only practical means of including it in a collection (example: newspaper strips).
So what are you contributing to the ideal back issues collection (and why)?
The collection thus far:
Charley's War volumes 1-12 (Confessor)
Daredevil 168-191 (Gene)
The Daredevils #1-11 (tingramretro)
The Demon (volume 3): #1-58 (brutalis)
Fables #1-75 (The Captain)
Green Arrow (Mike Grell) #1-50, and The Longbow Hunters (Randle-El)

Iron Man #116-157, #216-250 (wildfire2099)
JLA (1997) 1-125, and 1,000,000 (Juggernaut)
Jonah Hex Vol 2 # 1-70 (Ish Kabibble)
Kull the Conqueror #1-10, and Monsters On the Prowl #16 (Cei-U!)
Legion of Super-Heroes #285 -319, and Baxter Edition #1 -60 (pakehafulla)
