Tough book! Anyone else have any of his Planets?

 

The Nic Cage Heritage Auction was the first I ever bid in. Delighted to win the #28. Sold it years later and of course regretted it when I started collecting Planets in earnest. Then it popped up in a Comiclink Auction and I won it back - so I cherish it all the more. [Way nicer than the given grade, on account of a tiny missing corner.]

 

Still don't think it gets the love it deserves - for me, it is the quintessential 'pulp sci fi' cover in the run...

Hello my friend! 

I own the Cage copy of #6, which also presents way nicer than the given 6.5 grade due to a small spine split at bottom ( about 1/2" )

The Promise Collection book I own is graded accurately in my opinion (thankfully).

I agree though that there were several Promise books that made me shake my head with regard to the grade.

A great run! Congrats

Same grade but still an “upgrade” as the colors are better on my new copy. Gotta love the variations in color strikes in Fiction House books.

Your collection is an inspiration Karl. I’ve loved seeing your books and discussing Planet Comics with you here over the last several years. I hope your books do very well!  I’ll certainly be taking a shot at a couple.

Good luck with the auction, Karl. You put together an amazing run. I hope that you set some new record high prices.

Recent acquisition (note: I'm not a Fiction House collector per se, but great cover art and robots are always a consideration and when this popped up at the OAFcon it was just too good to resist)...

I put in a few bids for you! I hope I get outbid almost as much as I hope I do not.
