I have upgraded several books for my Planet run from what I posted at the beginning. Number 73: Number 70: Number 69: Number 68: Number 17: number 11: Number 5: Outstanding. Some of those colors are unreal!! And I do always like a 17 (and 11, and 5, and...). Spyder! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karl, I knew you had a complete run but still so awesome to see them all together (and to see your upgrades). Fitting that this is the last post. Just a few days after this I bought my first issue of Planet Comics (#11) and was very fortunate to pick up your undercopy of #16 after your upgrade. You have been a huge help to me in my run, not only by selling a couple to me, but by holding on to the complete run for years and encouraging others to work towards a complete set. I will keep working towards that goal. Artboy99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I would dearly love to own a Church Planet I think the numbers are going to be extremely high and I am likely going to be passing on them.

Popular Post Artboy99 Posted November 30, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) I often neglect this thread of mine. I did finally get my original art page from Planet 24 professionally framed up. The original page is not permanent so it could be removed. The cover and interior page were high quality print outs, the cover from a scan of my actual copy of issue 24. The glass is conservation glass to protect from light exposure.

Popular Post Artboy99 Posted December 15, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 15, 2018 another upgrade. I desperately wanted to own a Church Planet, and for the last couple of months I had been saving some money up to try to get one. Funds from comic sales since July. In hindsight I shouldn't have bought the Ghostly Weird 122 2 months ago because those funds could have gone towards a Planet Comics Church book as I *knew* well in advance the Church Planets would all sell for likely the highest price for the grade and with exception for a few books I was right. In the end I did bid on 8 of the Church Planets, losing out on all of them... but I did manage to hang on to the 53. I am thrilled to get it, I love that it is a bondage cover, and a book used in soti and of course that it is the Church copy. shortboxed, MattnNY, SushiX and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Artboy99 Posted May 22, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2019 picked up another upgrade. It is only a 4.0 but I think it presents very well for the grade.
