Gotta love all the Planet 2s!! Keep em coming. Got another upgrade recently but will post when it arrives.

And first post in this topic in a month! Beautiful copy, very nice upgrade!

Great thread! I'll take the Dogface, Bob Hope, and the Steranko book. Thank you!

Latest pickup, very happy with this one, and I don't think you see it very often.

Killer book, nice take, congrats to you both!

Great tribute and video Jeff. RIP Lamont. I'm curious if there are any other collectors of these original collections still around. I know we are still lucky to share this space with Marty Mann. Anyone else?

My CC win. Lots of Schomburg goodness.

Congrats on the #2. Was watching it intending to bid but missed the end time and I think it was a pretty great steal, even with the issues. Nice work!

I agree, Bob Powell is a magnificent artist and really underappreciated. The below Fiction House covers are some of my favorite images.

Nice peds! None for me but I'm happy to own Jon Berk's Planet 1 and also I've got a couple Ray Miller collection copies that feature his distinctive amateur restoration, which I find endearing (note the recreated January by the logo on 22 that is nonetheless misspelled). I've also got a copy from the "More Fun Collection" with a certificate but I'm not certain what that even is.

Great work from Electricmastro putting all these together! What a pleasure to look over. So much great talent hiding in these old pages...

Wow that one is awesome! And it has the last Fletcher Hanks story in Jungle. Here is my latest, also pretty rare with 10 on the census.

Wonderful to see, here is my Eldon 22. In better shape than yours, alas, and you wonder how Eldon kept one so pristine and the other so rough. Signature in the exact same spot in bottom of the G.

Wonderworlds, Fantastics, and now Mystery Men. What a treat, thank you all for sharing! I am blessed with the occasional Fox issue, but I can't lay a whole run on you. Here is one of my best...

Always great to score one of those! I was similarly fortunate earlier this year. Cosmic Aeroplane ped.

Don't know if anyone was watching or bidding on ebay a week or so ago but actually had two separate Planet 2 raws selling ending 4 days apart. https://www.ebay.com/itm/SCARCE-PLANET-COMICS-2-1940-G-VG-cond-WILL-EISNER-Alien-Monster-GGA-cover-/293686996472?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=Vr7gkHLOtd7xshLP5Y9c4pakKEI%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc https://www.ebay.com/itm/ORIGINAL-FEBRUARY-1940-PLANET-COMICS-NO-2-COMIC-BOOK-LOVE-ROMANCES-CO-NICE-/333685832672?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=Vr7gkHLOtd7xshLP5Y9c4pakKEI%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc One in good plus and the other about fine, achieved decent prices esp for raws. Hope someone had luck on these sweet books. The one seller had nice copies of 18 and 22 as well, with strong prices. The 22 seemed like a nice deal for the grade.

Take Junior per PM.

Take both.

Take Jungle 34. Looks like missed a lot of the party too. But still some delectable scraps!

Congrats to all, what a set of Planets!!!

Picked this one up on Saturday from the LCS. I'm really enjoying it!

A few favorites...

Ditto on the 8 love. My copy is a step down from Rick's, but I'm still pretty happy with it.
