Not as exiting as the Church copies, but I’m very happy that my #13 has arrived!

13 is rather elusive. Owning a 13 is quite an accomplishment. One of the best covers IMO. Yours looks very nice

I’ve always loved the pale blue color of the gorilla robot.

Didn't go to my local comic book show today but instead paid a visit to my "old guy" comic book friend. (I'm pretty old but he has 10 years on me...)

This guy is real old school. He has collected all his life but only in this geographical area. No mail order or internet. It is amazing what this guy has. Best part, he won't sell anything only trade. He also loves quantity over quality. I always leave his place very happy. I got a few books from him today including this one I'd been after...

interesting color on that the blue is very "royal blue"

Very exciting news with the MH Planets coming to auction, it’s been a long time coming.   I may take a run at upgrading one or two of my rivets if the pocket book allows.   As someone else already said, it will probably be a bloodbath ?

I actually made an offer a while back. $2,700 is a bit steep in my opinion, given what that book sold for last year on HA.

it is not that unreasonable compared to other copies like the 1.5 qualified off white pages that sold on ebay or the 2.5 brittle pages

Totally agree with you on this.

You can't compare market values that far back for books that are this hot.  Last year might as well be a decade ago.

Planet 15 is just one of those books that you have to step up to the plate for. Adam is pretty cool..... maybe you can dig out something you bought cheap years ago that has skyrocketed and do a part cash part trade scenario.... soften the blow a bit. GOD BLESS....

[Spyder!]

Yeah, Planet 15 is going to hurt for sure, whenever that day comes.  I just don't know if today is that day. 

I don't know, I keep going back and forth in my mind regarding my best strategy for completing the run.  Do I try to get all the other books and leave the toughest for last (1, 14, 15) or do I get the toughest ones first and hope I have the funds to purchase the others later? I'm torn.

[jimjum12]

I would get the 1 as soon as possible..... but be picky about eye appeal. After that it's just icing the cake. GOD BLESS....

If you can find a semi affordable 1 buy that but I think my advice would be to get the most desirable covers when you see copies that appeal to you (most early rivets, 13, 17, 18, 33-35, 39, 41, 65 ,66, 70-72) when you see a copy that appeals to you. All of those are going up.

I would agree with Rick.   Having completed the run in full (although I have now sold off all my non Rivets), I regretted not spending some bigger dollars on the tougher books (mostly rivets) as prices have steadily risen on this title during my period of active buying, particularly for nice covers.   I believe Rick's statement is true, but I would focus my funds on Rivets primarily if you can be that patient, you will likely be further ahead in the long run as most of the upper numbers of the runs are fairly easy to locate with the exception of a few issues.

My $0.02

Thanks everyone for the feedback.  Now I just need to find an affordable #1.  My biggest problem is patience! I just don’t have enough. I was spoiled by years of collecting silver age where there are always copies available and I’m bad at adjusting.
