Senormac Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I've been on a bit of a buying hiatus waiting to close on some special books so I sent one I bought a few months ago in for grading. Now I've got to unload my undercopy. What a great book. I'm looking forward to eventually seeing one helluva Planet Comics group shot. great color! Thats one fantastic book Cheetah...... trade you a years supply of Cheetos for it. Puffs or crunchy, your choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airwalker Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Was able to (finally) upgrade my copy of AA17. This book is not as hot as it used to be, be remains one of my favorites (because I cannot afford an AA16.) Got it for what I consider a bargain and I'm in with the OW/W Pq. Nice pick up!

damonwad Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Got a couple back from CGC today. The Planet is tied for the highest graded and the Supersnipe is the onlyu CGC graded copy. That's a great looking book and I love the colors, but after seeing some of the super high grade early Planets posted recently (by you), it surprises me that 7.5 is the highest graded for this issue.

Scrooge Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Ask AdamStrange what he believes his copy would grade at ... and you'd probably know where a higher grade copy resides ... As a secondary question, this book was published at the same time at This Mag is Haunted # 3 which is notorious for poor paper quality as the spine always splits. My copy of Planet # 66 has poor paper, on the verge of brittleness. Is it possible that is the reason for the paucity of 66 in higher grade? :shrug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theagenes Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I really think Maurice Whitman is one of the most underrated cover artists ever. I'm glad that it seems he is getting more and more attention in the last couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't take the highest graded business too seriously. I know adamstrange has a copy that is much better than this one. He's just allergic to plastic.
