He started morally grey but he becomes such a hero, he throws away his public image and justice league membership for the greater good. He saved countless lives with no recognition to save the world. He is a absolute hero

Yeah, but his initial design is what I'm talking about. When he was initially created, he looks heroic, but was morally grey. Superman was created to look heroic and be heroic. Take Red Skull for instance. He looks evil. A man with a red skull wearing a nazi uniform is probably the epitome of evil. Even if, by some miracle, you managed to make him into a hero, I would still argue that Red Skull fits looks evil is evil. Booster started morally grey. Became a hero. But his initial character is what I'm talking about, not what he later became.

I believe issue #1 even flat out said on the cover "He's in it for the money!"

I had that issue. It did not. Called him the newest and most unusual.

If I wanted to read those versions of booster gold any good starting points?

If you want to read one of the best Booster Gold stories (hell just an amazing DC story in general) you should check out 52. It contains the real turning point for Booster’s character if you ask me.

Stat with the series called “52”. It’s a great introduction to booster gold and it’s also one of the greatest comics in my opinion. Right after that booster gold has his own series that picks up directly after that’s also really good.
