This is my very first Planet Comics purchase.  I grabbed it yesterday on the bay.  In fact, it's my first Golden Age purchase ever.  It's low grade and I have no idea if I overpaid for it! But I don't care, I wanted it.

I have been collecting Spider-Man for 6 years, mostly SA Ditko books.  I have some other SA and BA stuff, but I have recently become infatuated by the Planet Comics run and decided to sell everything else except for my SA Spidey books to start collecting Planet.  Say goodbye to my money...

Thanks Rick.  I love the Red Comet cover!

I can also say, it's a weird transition from collecting SA Marvels.  I used to think of them as "rare" :grin:, but of course, there are copies of just about every book I was interested in on dozen's of sites.  I can hardly find any Planets anywhere!  It's infuriating and exciting!

I like how you put that.

Infuriating and exciting.  I guess together they make the exciting part even more enjoyable if you can get past the infuriating part (thumbsu

Fasten your seatbelt! It's a bumpy ride en route through Weird Adventures on Other Worlds!

Great looking 1.8! Not an easy book to find in any grade. (Like so many of the Planet issues, alas.)

I welcome you to Planet Comics collecting!

The very same affliction captured me several years ago. I found it spread drastically to where I now have 87 different Planet Comics.

I have yet to find a cure. :cloud9:

nice presenting 3.5!

I looked for a long time to find a high grade copy of that book that was CGC'd and never did find one. I bought a raw book:
