Excellent list, would also recommend The Science Fiction Hall of Fame Vol. 1. Later volumes have some good stuff too, but the first has all the essentials from the 30s-early 60s
The one edited by Robert Silverberg? I still have my copy from H.S. junior year English. “Microcosmic God,” “It’s a Good Life,” “9 Billiion Names of God” - some all-time classics here.
"Before The Golden Age" is fascinating. I'll have to look for the others.

Yeah that’s the one. Read it for the first time at a similar age. Scanners Live in Vain was my favorite in the anthology.
I have a number of these. As I recall, several were Science Fiction Book Club editions.
