I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, these boards are awesome!

It’s been a weird month of second chance books for me.

Planet Comics #5!  Arrived today.  Less than 11 months ago I purchased my first Planet Comics book ever, a copy of issue 11.  Now I have a full set of “rivet” issues with the arrival of #5 today!

I’ll probably try to post a pic of all 22 together soon. I just love these books.

 

Super impressive run!!  Congrats!

Ah, back in the days of the Giants, when high-grade Planets grew on trees for the plucking!!

I don't think there were that many hi-grade Planets available even back around 1975. Was just happy to pick up this Planet that still had original cover lustre on the black cover at this late stage:

Wow, that Planet 36 has great looking colors!!! 

Usually a very drab color strike on this book.

I’m very happy to check all the rivets off the list. Apart from the two of you, I’m not sure how many others there are.  Maybe jhutton still has his? I know of 4 or 5 other boardies that are super close to all the rivets.

Now I must be patient in assembling the rest of the run.

I see that the Planet 38 Church sold tonight on C-Link for $1000 below what it sold for a few months ago which is interesting because the two Planets on Heritage earlier this month went for thousands more.

they were lower issue numbers which I think is the difference.

Planet 38 was the last lot to close in the CC auction. There were 20-30 more Planet lots that started after 38 and ended before 38. Very spirited bidding on this one in CC.  I think 38 went higher in CC because 2 or 3 people kept bidding and thought something like “I keep losing other books , I am going to get at least one Church  Planet.” This mentality could have pushed it up several more bids. Also, I think it was somewhat “hidden” in the Link auction. These two factors could have played a role in the lower hammer price. 🔨 💵 

$6,043 in CC

$5,000 in Link

 Also that its not the highest graded must have some effect on the hammer price ?

A question for the Planet collecting community.  To press and resubmit or not?  

I’ve never pressed a book before. I have heard rumors for years that grading was stricter in the early days of CGC, don’t know if that’s true. My Planet 7 is an old label 6.5. It has a pressable crease by the “P” in Planet. It also has a small crease bottom right corner and a dust shadow along the bottom edge.  I have wondered if it could grade higher with a press. 

Also, even if I don’t press I want to get it reholdered.  The older holders are just not as clear and I like to see the brighter colors which are visible in newer holders. So really the question is, should I press and resubmit or just get it reholdered? Any opinions are appreciated. Thanks.
