Planet Comics 39- CGC 9.6- Edgar Church Mile High Copy- $11,900

Classic Llly Renee awesomeness. Lone Highest

 

 

Take Fight 40 and Hap 14 via PM!

There was only the one pic, so no way to know.  Really no way to know if CF or more center wraps were missing, so I think $10K was a bit of a risk.  Unless they got more pics from the seller. 

Crazy auction just ended on eBay a short while ago.  Lot of old comics, lol.  Seller actually identifies that there is part of a Tec 27 (no Batman pages).  But no way to know how much missing.  Was at $100 when I went to bed last night.  Ended at $10611 today.  Wow.  Could easily be worth double that, depending on what's there.  Hope one of you got this, looked like 3 bidders duking it out in final minutes.  I was strongly weighing a bid but went past what felt comfortable.

Planet 65. One of my favorites and a fun classic cover. About a 4.5 and hope to upgrade this one down the road before prices keep climbing. 

 

Have another rivet i should have this week and I am super happy. I think it is a tough one, and has a strong color strike and page quality, 

Just curious being that I am still new to planets. What is the overall consensus on which books are super tough. I know 14 and 15, but I just can never send to find a 2, 8, or 10, 13, 26 anywhere. Sorry if people already discussed this before.

 

Yeah I've been hunting Planets since 2010 and still need 1 7 and 15 and you showed up with two of the them in your first post here so you seem quite lucky to me.  I just tracked down 2 8 and 13 in the last year.  But I've randomly run into tough issues, like my 10 at a small shop, you never know what will turn up.  And that is one of the best aspects of it, IMO.  65 was my first issue and still a favorite.  Good luck on your searching.

take Gorgos and Real Life 25, if still available.  Great sales thread!!

me too

take jungle 33

take jungle 22

Thanks for sharing those interiors!  That Guardineer story is amazing, what a treat to see.  And now I need to find myself a copy of Cocomalt.  This also reminds me I need to share a few interiors from some recent finds...

Beautiful books everyone!  Another area I need to focus on, although I think I've missed the boat on prices...  Feldstein was a master.

Finally in receipt of my CC winnings, nothing quite like the thrill of getting 3 single digit Planets in one day (4 when you count Spyder's 6 undercopy, which arrived same day)!!  

But as I've been looking over my 2, I am wondering about the cover artist.  CGC credits Lou Fine, but comics.org credits Eisner.  I seem to recall reading something about it possibly being a collaboration...  I'm sure there is a thread here somewhere, but wondering if anyone can shed any light on this.

In February 2015, there was this Ebay auction that had all but 10 issues of the 1-26 run. All the listings ended on Feb 17. I wound up grabbing the 7. Amazing I got anything at all because the listings ended minutes from each other and the bidding was furious. It was so memorable I kept this recap

That was a wild auction.  I was lucky to win two that day.  Looking back at the prices, I wish I would've gone bigger on a few more.  Nice work saving a summary.

That Fight is an Eldon book he took care of his books and that Jungle is awesome

Yeah I recognized the name from seeing some early Tecs sell last year, but I'd like to know more about him, if anyone has any further info to offer.

Thanks! I'm super happy to get another Flessel cover. I definitely need more!

Nice score!  I second everyone else, well done. Can't have enough Flessel in your collection, that is for sure!  And those New Adventures are very tough.

This arrived today:

something about this book, it's magic or essence, just remindes me of why I love comics! I MUST go read now...

 

Congrats on yours!  Got my 12 a few weeks back from MCS.  Presents amazing.  But sadly missing a couple wraps.  Still, it is a pleasure to behold.  Gotta love the rivets!

The 33-35 run is probably my favorite trifecta in the run

Agree with you here, I love these issues.  What a trifecta for sale!! 

Taking home an older A-man with a classic cover and first Speed Centaur!
