Amazing how cheap Planet Stories are compared to Planet Comics. Now, due to the great equalizer, graded, slabbed copies, I expect that gap to slowly start coming closer together. At the end of the day when all you have is the cover anyway…

Agree completely, and the PS covers are arguably the superior of the two.

I picked up a very nice set of Planet Stories recently. Working on completing a true F/VF or better run.  Getting very close.

Smart move, get them while you can. I have always thought them cheap when compared to their comic cousins. These are really starting to take off in my area.

Been wanting to try this for a while, took a pic of my complete run of Planet Stories 71 issues. Not easy to do took this in garage on a small ladder a bit blurry and some of the plastic bags reflected the light. You can see most of them, Maybe I'll try it again with a taller ladder! Many grades on these books goods to fines finished this run at least a decade ago.

That is an amazing image! I could nearly duplicate the bottom 2/3 but the top 1/3 is mostly absent from my collection so far.

And thanks for the reminder, I just ordered one of the two issues I'm still missing in the bottom 2/3

And it still hasn't arrived... but the other issue I was missing from the bottom 2/3 did.  Pretty sure the flamethrower cover was bumping the demand on this one slightly:

I don't collect Planet Comics cuz they're out of my price range but did notice the similarity between this cover and the first issue of Planet Stories when I saw it in a current board sales thread:
