I know we are off the rivets, but I have always felt like 23 24 25 tie in with them pretty nicely with the Zolne covers, while 26 is more the start of a new era with Doolin cover art starting.  That 9.2 23 is beautiful!

Here is my 22, with some amusing amateur resto.  However it was done by sci-fi writer Ray Miller, who wrote in a bunch of early fanzines, so I think it has an interesting historical cachet.  Planned to upgrade but never got around to it.  Another fun cover.

Love the color on this one.  A great cover too.

My 20.  Actually an upgrade from a rough restored copy.  I think it has nice color and of course good PQ.  And another great Fight ad on the back!

My 19.  Has some interesting stamps on it, never could figure out what they were.  This cover always makes me think of the Mirkwood spiders scene in The Hobbit and I find the idea frankly terrifying, so I have never quite liked this cover as much as I probably should.  

Thought I'd include the great back cover with a nice Senorita Rio image.  I'm not sure where you'd rank the Planet or Fiction House characters (perhaps we should?) on a ranking, but she has to be pretty darn high on it.  And what a story description!

My Planet 18.  Seems that most copies are much bluer but this one is more purple.  I wonder if that is from the printing process or could it be the way the blue ages over time or reacts with light?  I actually like both colors so maybe I just need to get a second copy...

Love this cover.  I too look forward to seeing what everyone has, the variation on this issue is remarkable.  That is great color on your 3.0 Spyder!

Tim, thank you for procrastinating!  If you had bought the 2.5, I might be the one still looking for a 15.  And I don't think a reasonably affordable one has surfaced since.  But I truly hope one finds its way to you!  I know Sharon is in the same boat, and it is tough to spend so much on one book. especially if it isn't your favorite, but just for the sake of completeness.  I hope we get to see some of what you've got. 

And here is my 16.  At the time was not my favorite cover so I opted for a lower grade issue.   But it has grown on me.  Those 8.5s look pretty sweet!

A day late on the 15 fest.  Here is mine.  Pretty rough overall but nice PQ and decent color. This was the last Planet I needed for the run. I was pretty happy then this arrived. 

Scrolling down this page, you wouldn't think 14 is such a rare book...  8 listed so far, out of 26 on the census.  Not bad.

Wish mine had better PQ, but what are you gonna do.  Just happy to have it!

And Sharon, you are welcome to post any to catch up a bit, we love seeing what everyone has!  

I love this cover too.  Great acquisition story from kelholt.  I think I was dueling a few boardies on this one when I bought it off HA a few years back.  

Here is my 12.  Presents pretty decent but needs a few wraps, if anyone knows of a coverless copy.  

Another one achieved courtesy of a fellow boardie.  This community really is pretty sweet.  Many of you on this forum have helped out with a book or a lead on a book before, thank you! 

Here is my well-loved 10.  Bit rough but still one of my favorite Planets.  And picked up from a dealer friend for an amazing price so no complaints.  I'd like to upgrade but this issue is pretty pricey!  Love seeing everyone else's copies.  And that Church copy is really something Jay!! 

I'd add any of the court copy issues from the Superman lawsuits.  The Action 7 court copy just sold a few months back on HA for $200K.

Great pic Rick.  I had such a thrill following that auction, I wish I would've jumped on one issue and I'm sure I would be ok now with the price.  Good you kept the 17, that thing is incredible.  

And glad to see Zolne getting in on the action, that Larson 6 is amazing!

Here is my 9.  A bit rough but nice color.

I love the Planet 8 cover.  So classic.

And my 7.  Spine stain aside, this presents much nicer than grade.  Thanks to a boardie for this one. 

Recent upgrade on my 6.  I think this one presents very nicely.  Was hoping to wait for it to arrive but it is probably a few weeks out so why not post now.  

Here is my #5.  Doesn't quite match up with some of yours, but top edge aside has nice color.  My first single digit Planet and therefore holds a special place.  And courtesy of my fellow boardie above who upgraded, thanks again!
