Nearly 3 years ago, I bought my first Planet Comics issue.  I was pretty much addicted immediately.  Over the following 9 months or so, I accumulated 66 of the 73 issues.  However, the 7 that I still needed were all hard to find rivet issues.  I lacked the funds to keep all 66 issues in my collection at that point and still pursue those remaining 7 rivets, so I decided to sell pretty much everything that was not a rivet issue in order to complete the 1-22 run.

A few months later, I had all 22 rivet issues!  :banana: However, I was far from completing the run, even if I did have most of the hardest ones to acquire.  I decided to keep my focus on the first 22 issues, rather than try to complete the run.  As a result of that focus, I upgraded my Planet 2, 3, 5, 6, 11, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, and 22. (thumbsu

I would occasionally purchase a non-rivet Planet, but never came close again to the full run.  Then I allowed myself to get distracted with those lovely early Fox books, and sold some Planets (not the rivets of course!) in order to pursue those.  I realized that I just couldn't continue to pursue both Fox and Fiction House at the same time.  A choice had to be made.  Fiction House won.

I am rededicating myself to the completion of the Planet Comics run.

This arrived today.  I now have 34/73 issues.  I've got a long way to go, but the journey sure is going to be fun!

Best of luck, Jared!!!!! May the Planets be with you!

As approved by Ed and requested by our own @Tim Weaver here is the list of Promise Collection Planet Comics:acclaim:

I do not have more info on these but as they come back from CGC and our entered into future auctions they will be available for viewing long before the auction date. Happy hunting! Some great books here for sure but the collector in me wishes there would have been at least two more in there after the 64.
