Just saw this Planet Stories art by Herman Vestal for the first time.  Anyone know if this was before or after Planet 65?

Wow, that's fascinating. Interestingly, nobody really knows who did the cover for Planet #65. Maybe it was Vestal!

He was definitely doing artwork for Fiction House in the last 1940's...

Got back the restored Planet 44 I posted awhile ago. My curiosity got the better of me in this case, as while I knew it was restored with CT and was expecting something like a 5.0 grade for how great it looked, but apparently I missed two tiny little pin holes that went through the interior of the book and backcover (super tiny and not open - the paper closed up over it when whatever made them was removed. Only after reading about them in the graders notes I inspected the back cover so close I could finally see them - they look like tiny dirt specs at first glance). That fault made the book cap out at this grade.

Oh well, it still looks amazing with the rich colors and isn't missing chunks to the book. Pretty sure I'll never find a better looking copy for the price I paid for it (even with grading added on) so still a win-win for my personal collection :)

My copy.

That's a great presenting copy, and probably looks even better in hand (maybe some glare in the photo?).

Basically, it's hard to go wrong with ANY copy of Planet 24!

This was my old copy.  I think it was the only Planet from the Central Valley Pedigree.  The mis-wrap was unfortunate but the colors were great. 

BTW, if posting books that I used to have is a problem for anyone, I can stop.

to be honest I was expecting it to grade higher.
