How Planet 10 isn't listed as a, "Classic Cover" on the label I am not sure...definitely one of my favorites of the run and of course a rivet cover which I greatly enjoy. Cool Books K!!

I would hate to be one of the poor comic-book high-priests that has the onerous burden of deciding what covers are classic. At times, it seems pretty darn arbitrary. I mean, does it get MORE classic than Action 1??? I suppose a distinction could be made between iconic and classic, but at some point it's splitting hairs.

Two of the great classic covers from decades ago that have dropped off the radar a bit are Target no. 1 and 7 - Everett and Wolverton masterpieces. Schomburg deservedly gets a lot of love now, and Baker is HOT while Raboy seems to have cooled slightly.

And which Planets to designate? Where do you stop. And I feel it would be easier to say which books were NOT classics for a title like Marvel Mystery. So too for a lot of the Avon one-shots and PCH and so on!

All worthy grist for the mill. B|

Simply put - wow. I'm really going to have to go look at your top five now!

p.s. It seems you like red covers.

Gino I can really appreciate CGC 1.0 comics that present well , those these are some great looking low grade book $$!!

Thanks brother i appreciate it!! I'm all about eye appeal I have a few books that are low low grade that i am good with for now but would like to upgrade and the 2 1.0s i have here are on that list but they don't seem to come up often. JBs WW32 and Cap3 will both be outta my league i am sure. I am happy i got the Cap 3 when i did though this book never seems to lose steam

Cool! Another top five horror set. I did mine in the first 5 thread. It was real tough but Weird Mysteries #5 and Weird Chills #2 just barely didn't make the cut. They would most definately make the second 5 set though!
