Congrats to whoever won this book, hopefully a boardie.  Best looking copy I’ve ever seen and my bid wasn’t even close.

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

Not actively buying many Planets these days, but I simply couldn't resist this Rivet upgrade with rich ultramarine blues. :x

:applause: That’s one mighty fine looking upgrade of a tough book!

Thanks Jared! I've wanted to upgrade this issue for a while, and finally had the chance to make it happen. Seems the #18 doesn't pop up often, in any kind of grade.

Not that any of the Rivets pop up often. I guess that's why they used rivets. :idea: :insane:

Thanks Karl! Yeah, I've been biding my time, waiting for a copy with rich blues. Easier said than done. Of course there was the kooky krazy copy (restored 6.5), but I couldn't stand the heat when it resurfaced not too long ago. Wonder if it ended up with a boardie?

Here’s what I have today I decided to take some group shots. Clearly I needed to organize these as noted by the doubles Sorry for the glare on the bags!

Just saw this Planet Stories art by Herman Vestal for the first time.  Anyone know if this was before or after Planet 65?

Wow, that's fascinating. Interestingly, nobody really knows who did the cover for Planet #65. Maybe it was Vestal!

He was definitely doing artwork for Fiction House in the last 1940's...
