Hey Folks,

Wanted your opinion on something.

 

I have been chatting with a seller regarding a planet #16 in 3.5. It presents very nicely for the grade, just worn for the most part and some soiling.

 

I know I have seen these become available sometimes, how uncommon do you believe this book to be? I am pretty close to picking it up, even though the price is a bit high (500 bones shipped). Would love to hear your thoughts.

 

I'm not nearly as up on these as most people in this thread, but that price seems a little high -- unless it's Canadian dollars. Still if you've been looking for a while and this seems like your best bet, I would probably go for it.

 

Price is high for the grade.

 

When I was buying Planets issue 16 seemed to be very available, I could always find it.

 

That said, I looked right now through all of the sources I have book marked and I was surprised to not find a copy for sale.

 

Here is a link to a CGC 5.5 that sold for $573 ( includes buyer premium ). Book sold Sept 27 2015, so recent enough.

Another CGC 5.5 that sold on Heritage in Aug 2014 for $507

My advice: be patient. From the Planets I have seen you post it isn't in the grade you are really looking for anyway.

 

Thanks all for the advice. I decided to pick it up anyways, even though the price is a bit high. The others offered for sale recently did not appeal to me for a number of different reasons, and the supply seems to have diminished (at least for the time being). I will be patient with the other issues I still need :)

Can't go wrong, you can always sell it later.

Beautiful copy. Early jungles are becoming more and more a favorite of mine.
