"almost as nice"? Looks pretty sweet to me. Better grade as well.

They're both spectacular copies! I'd be happy with a split spine and detached centerfold! ?

Technical grade is one thing. But the whites seem a bit brighter on your copy, at least to me.  And I think yours is undergraded.

I always felt it was, maybe I should resub. That said, while it doesn't show as readily in the scan the split spine at the bottom is there.

It's a very nice book for sure, but I prefer yours simply because of the provenance. Maybe I'm a sucker for Celebs I dunno, but I like that angle. Plus I like Cage.

For those interested PLANET COMICS # 5 is now posted cover to cover in the GRR. (thumbsu

Issues 1 thru 5 now posted.

Issue 5 is one I am trying to find a better copy of. I do have a placeholder but I am not happy with it. The problem I am having is the only copies I am finding are not much of an upgrade and I can not justify spending $700 to get a 3.0 OR it is to much of an upgrade ( like the 9.2 copy that was available a few months ago ). I would love to find a 5.0 type of copy.

awesome copy of another tough to find book.

While I am happy with mine I would prefer yours. #10 is another of my favorite Planets:

A strong midgrade copy of a  tough issue, with great colors. :applause:

 

Just to underscore my point that technical grade isn't everything, at least to me, here is my #28 (Nic Cage again Grantley!) It was my first ever Heritage purchase, and the only Cage Planet I managed to win from the original auction. A few years later I sold it, which I really regretted. Then it turned up years on in a Comiclink auction, so I won it again! One of my favorite Planet covers as well...

See my comments in the 'Eye' thread, but in short this book is absolutely awesome. :x

Hey, go ahead and sell it again, this time to me, and you can get it back in no time :wink:

Maybe.

Planet #10 is a great cover framed with the upper black background and it really makes the book POP. 

Agreed. Especially if it is as nice as yours.
