This is a screen shot of your post for the only book I remember selling you. I think Markentoth owns it now.

dont think it was me. The first Planet I ever bought was 41, I have the Lost Valley copy a cgc 8.5.

Darn, I wanted a sticker.

Looks like a sticker was removed from the CGC label.  I wonder if this was one of Kelly's old copies with the "Marathon Planet Collection" stickers on it.

Stickers were cool but now I’m curious if Rick removed it?

It is still on there. It is just very light.

When I decided I would start collecting planets again last year I promised myself I would only collect the first 5 issues. well that quickly went out the door early on. Here are my 2 new recent pickups 😁😎

Such a great shot.  Black batman and supes covers in the same month, that's pretty neat.  I actually have a copy of that Buck Rogers 3 and prince valiant 25 sitting next to me atm.

I bought a very low grade raw Planet 1. Probably 1.5 that I just couldn’t live with in my collection.  I sent it to Susan Cicconi who dry cleaned and pressed it and it turned into a 2.5 that is much more pleasant to be around.  Definitely not your normal $30-40 press job but well worth it.

Congrats to whoever won this book, hopefully a boardie.  Best looking copy I’ve ever seen and my bid wasn’t even close.

Went for around the NM price, give or take. And before that there was this...https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/planet-comics-24-fiction-house-1943-cgc-vf-85-off-white-to-white-pages/a/7231-96126.s?ic4=GalleryView-ShortDescription-071515

Not actively buying many Planets these days, but I simply couldn't resist this Rivet upgrade with rich ultramarine blues.

 That’s one mighty fine looking upgrade of a tough book!

Thanks Jared! I've wanted to upgrade this issue for a while, and finally had the chance to make it happen. Seems the #18 doesn't pop up often, in any kind of grade.

Not that any of the Rivets pop up often. I guess that's why they used rivets.

Thanks Karl! Yeah, I've been biding my time, waiting for a copy with rich blues. Easier said than done. Of course there was the kooky krazy copy (restored 6.5), but I couldn't stand the heat when it resurfaced not too long ago. Wonder if it ended up with a boardie?

Here’s what I have today I decided to take some group shots. Clearly I needed to organize these as noted by the doubles Sorry for the glare on the bags!
