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.

I do hope someone here can add some insight.  I had always assumed it was a Fine cover, going with what’s on the CGC label, but I could definitely see some Eisner in there too.  The monster looks like it’s Fine IMO, but harder to say on the other characters.  Any one out there know anything?

New to planets and this post, but thought I would add some of my new planet pick-ups. I could not have done this without the help of rick who has really helped guide me on this journey. Have a few others I need to dig up also.

One of the planet 18s will be for trade if anyone has any other rivets for trade. Would like to offer here for any planet collectors in need of one.  Just would also like to thank everyone for posting so many just amazing books in this post.

Quite a great group of books for your first Planet post. 14 and 15 are as tough as they come. Welcome and looking forward to more posts from you in the thread

I’m very happy to get a copy of issue 32 back in the collection. Awesome Doolin cover. Always makes me think of the 6-fingered man from the Princess Bride.

Thank you so much. Nothing compared to what you have. Just trying to track down more rivets. Has to be the hardest stuff to find now. 

[Mike maio]

a few more planets I was able to grab. The 70 and 72 are definitely nice prob 7.0 and 6.5 respectively and the 20 was just a nice presenting copy and another rivet off the list. I’m definitely hooked on these.

I am a big fan of 20. You don’t see this issue very often. The Dino/Pterodactyl is so cool. It is another great Zolnerowich cover in a long line of masterpieces

I agree, 20 is pretty great. Zolne definitely provided my favorite covers of the run. Masterpieces for sure. 

My lowly copy:

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.

Honestly, the majority of the first 30 or so issues are pretty tough. 

In addition to your list, I would say 5, 6, 7, and 17.  

Issue 7 doesn’t get mentioned as a hard one as often as some others, and I’ve only been going after Planets since last summer, but in that time I’ve seen fewer copies of 7 for sale than of 2, 8, 11, 13, 14, 15, or 17. 

You’re on fire though. Keep it up!
