Lovely copy!

Interesting, a few years ago there were only 15-16 Universal copies of #14. There's now 22, plus 4 restored. Looks like our lavish attention to #14 has chased out another 50% of copies.

The same can be said for #15: from 15-16 Universal copies a few years ago; now there are 20, plus 4 restored and 1 qualified.

I sent my 14 in last year so I am one of those new graded copies. My 15 was the qualified, now it is conserved so scratch one qualified off that list.

My 14 was purchased raw and I had it slabbed fairly recently too (by that I mean like a year ago or more) so I can account for one of those recent increases on the census too.

For which I thank you from the bottom of my bookshelf!

Me too! Thanks for the contribution @Artboy99! 
I still need one more book to complete the PS Artbooks group.

Haha, you’re right! I found the 5, it wasn’t on the bookshelf. Still need a 12.

Issue 15, how is this not considered a classic cover by CGC?  How are several of these not considered classic covers ?

I personally feel that 14 is slightly harder to find, although I think part of that may be my own experience in trying to collect all the rivet issues. I found a 15 before I found a 14, so my simple brain decided 14 was harder to find! In all seriousness, both are hard to find books.  It does seem like 15 is harder to find with nice page quality. 

I’m happy with mine, and doubt I could ever afford to upgrade!

It's a classic cover to me.

Not many in this club and i find your copy stunning.

I think 15 is harder but that might be because my 15 is the most I ever paid for a comic.... and NOT sorry! (well not sorry when my wife isn't around)

@comicjackand I ooh'd and ahh'd over this copy when it was featured at the HA booth during NYCC 2017. That was when I made the fateful plunge...

Nice to see so many great copies of the 15 here

I couldn't say which was harder. 13, 14, and 15 were all books that I bought the only copy I ever saw.  I think the three made up the weakest books in my collection.  This one looks nice but the brittle pages was disappointing.

one of the copies I passed on due to the brittle pages. I believe I saw this one on Heritage.

Yes, we often discuss/debate whether 14 or 15 is more rare, but 13 is pretty darn hard to find too. I’ve only been collecting Planets for about two and half years, but I’ve seen fewer copies of 13 for sale than 14 or 15.
