The blues are outstanding - blue is a color we often neglect in favor of strong reds, but often goes grey. When I first 'discovered' Planets in the photojournal - must be nearly 30 years ago now - this is the cover that stood out for me at the time. Very ERB!

Better colors than mine.

Went for around the NM price, give or take. And before that there was this...https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/planet-comics-24-fiction-house-1943-cgc-vf-85-off-white-to-white-pages/a/7231-96126.s?ic4=GalleryView-ShortDescription-071515

Sounds like a cool sales thread, Readcomix! lbcolefan is the man! My collection is tiny compared to his! He has much of what I have but in way in better shape! On the NAPA collection - the sweat mag equivalent of the Church collection was discovered behind a false wall by his wife sometime after he died, and was picked up by an American pulp dealer. I plundered a few tasty scraps left by bigger collectors. But I did draw attention to the comparison with Church, for what that's worth. You can wait a very long time for hi grade examples of these mags. Imagine if ol' Edgar had hidden his collection that way. [Shades of King Tut!] Good luck with the sales!

..and finally, a book cover I liked. rather scarce I think, and in decent nick, so another I probably should've kept. [Looking again at the scans just posted, I now recall that condition was often a deciding factor - otherwise, whether I had a better cover along similar lines.]
