THAT is one of the great FH books to own, no doubt!

Yeah, I didn’t even know about the book 2 hours ago and now I NEED it!

This business of cover swiping was extremely prevalent in the Golden Age. It all becomes clear if you read 'The Ten Cent Plague'. This book is an absolute must if you are a GA fan. This book is a bible in terms of understanding what made the GA tick. Some  brilliant anecdotes and stories in it, not to mention some eye opening factual history.

Toledo copy of #60, qualified grade due to binder holes. Great colors. Thanks @Straw-Man

 I’ll chime in on this thread,  here is one of my best copies of the run, certainly doesn’t compare with the church copy presented earlier but it is no slouch either… 

[Ricksneatstuff]

One of my favorites 

 

[Flex Mentallo]

Slouch-free, both!

Looks like there's a spate of Lily Renee's classic covers here. Let's not forget this one:

 

(scanner has juiced the reds a bit, but not too much)

Just thought I'd bump this thread in honor of the upcoming Church auction of Planet Comics over at the comicconnect auctions starting up in a few weeks in  november. 

Anyone else salivating? 
(just wish there was a 71!)

Just the odd dribble from the corner of the mouth. Entirely inadvertent.

Sometimes, you get lucky. I lamented missing out on this book a couple weeks ago, but the Lord of Jupiter was smiling down upon me, and as of today, it is mine! #14 and #10 were the 2 rivets I was most drawn to when I first started collecting Planets and I finally landed one!

It is going to be a bit crazy, isn't it? I am just dipping my toe in the GA waters and cannot wait to watch the action from the sidelines.

Wow! Looks like it's in really nice condition! Where'd you find it?

Thanks!  It presents very nicely.  I am pleased with it.

I acquired it from a fellow boardie.  I love this place.

My new strategy for getting rivets is just wait til everyone else has their collections complete, then I'll be the only buyer.  Foolproof.
