    All books in this thread are CGC graded Fiction house books, a blonde phantom, and maybe a Timely Humor book. Some of the books in here you don’t see everyday and priced accordingly. I am only putting these up for sale to raise a certain amount of dough. Once that is raised, the thread will be closed. All books shipping within USA is included in price.

    I have been on the boards for over 10 years, mostly buy and rarely sell. I have had many a deal with several around here like Billy, Rick, ComicCav and Michael (Flex). Read second post about books in this thread. No returns on raw or CGC. Shipping is ok to US. If Canada, pm and we can talk. All other destinations, I am unable to ship. No HOS or other bad people. Payment via check or MO and should be within 7 days of post unless worked out prior to . First in thread wins unless pm deal is first. Time stamp will determine if needed

    This 15 is a stunner. Rarely see this issue and yours has superb colors. I always like FH issues that show real landmarks in the background, raises their cool factor 👍🏻.

    That’s the way it seems to go with certain planet issues. You don’t see one offered for sale/auction for years and then 2-3 pop up in a 12-18 month span. This gets amplified if you are looking for the book in a certain grade too. All part of the crazy and fun collecting chase that you have to accept when collecting Planets.

    Sweet. Even 7 and 11 are impressed with this one.

    Here is my copy. Tied for 2nd highest with another 6.0. I think this one has better page quality than the other 6.0. Over the moon excited to own this copy, beautiful purple tone background colors and from the collection of our friend Jon Berk Also as mentioned above in an earlier post of another boardie, I am on record of saying this too.... Planet 14 IS the hardest Planet to acquire.

    Great find by you, a Pedigree is always a plus. About as nice a 4.5 as you would see or hope for. Buy the book not the number

    Very nice pickup. I definitely agree, 10 is in the top 5 or 6. So much going on within the awesome black cover

    It does look just as good in hand. It is difficult to take a picture without glare, but here it is next to my #60 which has a similar yellow background. The yellow even looks more fresh and bright on the Church book. The red stands out along with the green ship and blue accent parts on her dress and the Volta’s uniform.

    #61 This is one of my later favorites in the middle late run. The fact that it is a remake of 9 is cool to me along with the bonus of New York and the Statue of Liberty on the cover. Bright yellows make the green ship, blue uniformed Volta men, and her red dress pop off the page. I thought this issue was one of the best “colored” books in the Church run and in hand my thoughts are confirmed.

    #23 I mentioned above the the 19 was the book I missed second most, this one is the first. I used to own Flex’s current copy of 23, he got it from HA/ Jeff. Flex’s copy is one of the best copies condition/color wise I have ever seen in hand of any Planet issue. This one is right there. The colors with the red background make this one a visual winner drawn by the talented Zolnerowich, and the fact that it is a 9.6 doesn’t hurt either.

    #19 One of my first 5 Planets was #19. I owned the Lost Valley 9.2 copy. Loved it. Then life happened and I had to sell it along with 18 other Planets. Out of the group I sold I missed this one second most. Jeff owned the Lost Valley after me and it moved to a 9.4. I tried to buy it when he sold it on HA, but just didn’t have the dough. Then whoever owned it auctioned it again about a 18 months later, and again I was the underbidder. This one was not going to get away. 19 and 13 are very similar in composition and they are both tops on my rivets list.

    First book #6 Overstreet says 5 and 6 are rare. You don’t have to be a planet collector long to realize this is true. There are only 21 cgc copies of 5 and a mere 17 of 6. This 9.0 is the best 6 I have ever seen (and yes I see the chip in the bottom right. Beautiful colors and a great spine. I think this was one of the bargains of the auction, especially being a Rivet.

    I have to agree with your assessment, multiple books made it very difficult and challenging to say the least. It was as challenging an auction I have ever participated in due to the group of books I was chasing ending so close. After the auction ended, I was going through my email and deleted 59 outbid emails timestamped from auction start time to auction end. As some of you know, I do not post auction wins or discuss auction wins until I have the books in hand. Well, the wins are in hand and I am one happy And lucky guy

    I saw that on the bay and stared at it for a minute, hit watch and it said “invalid”. I hit watch again, it said “invalid. I hit refresh, then it said “sorry you missed this item, it is sold”. I was too slow. Nice pick up. 1st Seniorita rio

    Merry Christmas to all.....

    Fun looking through this thread. Congrats to all as it is full of great books and finds. Majority of my collecting year was selling, but managed to pick up a couple “keepers”. 34 is tough to find for sale, tougher in upper condition, and even harder to find with true red. Check, check, and check with this one. 14 is the toughest Planet, even more so than the painfully tough 15 IMO. Love the purple tones on this copy. Glad to get this one from our buddy Jon Berk. Lastly, my favorite Raw book of the year is a Zolnerowich Jungle masterpiece.

    Received this one earlier in the week. I missed out in the last HA auction on the Mile high and the D copy of this book offered then, both representing highest and second highest graded respectively. I was thrilled when Mr. Lady Luck has this beauty for sale in the bst. I have always loved this tough black cover. The composition is so cool with the facial expressions to the depth of the girl line in the background. In hand, the colors are just brilliant.
