'PLANET COMICS' (is deserving of its own thread) 29 29

[Flex Mentallo]

In fact, that auction in 2002 listed 43 high grade Planets, and some had great colors. Check these out

 

Planet Comics #18

 

Planet Comics #26

 

Sadly, it was before I ever thought of checking them out.

33

This cover is very popular (for obvious reasons! ) which makes obtaining a copy expensive in my opinion.

my first copy followed by my upgrade. The upgrade was puchased from Metropolis/Comicconnect, the colors are strong on the book but this scan is totally jacked up.

I had a low grade #32, which I sold to a friend recently.  But I do have a 33.

[skypinkblu]

Doesn't have the colors that Flex's has, but it's a nice copy. If I had seen some of the colors here, I might still be shopping,

I am mainly a low grade Planet guy, here is my 32 as well as two issues you’ve already done but I didn’t post

I’m not sure if it’s a miscut or a miswrap , but Planet 42 is notoriously “off kilter”. On most copies on left side it shows ‘lave of the hydra’ and most of her fingers are in the spine area and wrap to the back cover. If your copy says ‘slave of the hydra’ in plain view from front then you have a unicorn. Some even have a unprinted area to top right. Both items I mentioned are in this scan. Even the 9.4 on census is printed this way.  Full disclosure on pic: Not my book and graded 8.0

I agree.  42 is almost always mis-wrapped.

The vast majority of both 25’s and 42’s appear to be miscut.  I briefly owned your old 25 Kelly, and then I sold it to another great boardie @SamPool.  Although restored, I feel this copy captures the “unicorn” status mentioned by Flex of being both centered and having deep reds.  

 

My belated follow-up to the #42 discussion.

Not sure I ever considered my 42 a unicorn, but yay no miscut! (though at the expense of a distinct lack of red...)

is neat to see the books move around to different board members, your 29 used to be my copy.

I've purchased about 10-15 here on the boards I would say. I get a few from HA or local but mostly here and mostly from Spyder I think!

Love Planet 33!  Was very happy when I finally got one.  Lily Renee

My 32 is a bit faded but a joy to have in the collection.

Yep, I recognize that 32 and that 29.  

The boards have definitely been the best resource for me to acquire Planets as well.

[SuperGrover]

I think 33 might be my second favorite, though it's hard to keep track of all my favorites.

[cheetah]

I owned two copies of #33.  It's in my top four as far as Planet covers.

[Flex Mentallo]

Sadly no #33. Here's my #34.

[Ricksneatstuff]

I’ve had the two highest graded 33’s in the past. They are both gorgeous books! Hopefully at least one of them will be shown here. The only reason I was willing to let them go is I have this copy (no manipulation on this photo at all) that I’m in love with.  Planet 33 is in my personal favorite triumvirate of 17, 33 and 65. 
 

I will be backtracking with my 30 this weekend. I have no pictures of it. My 29 is at CGC so will get that one in a few weeks I hope.

After these amazing #33's, someone needs to bring down the average!

Here is my "well loved" copy.

[goldenacase]

Another Rick hand me down

[Miamiknight3434]

Here is my Frankenstein 33

I was able to track down the original owner 

[Bird]

When I was catching up earlier I forgot to include this one! (sorry, looks slightly out of focus...d'oh!)

 

While I’m here I’ll stick this other book in here because it kind of fits and I like it!

 

Man, looking at this thread I am too much of a bottom feeder, gonna have to start ponying up from now on!!!

did I derail the thread?

c'mon, lets see those 33s or 34s! (I am out until 37)
