Issue 15, how is this not considered a classic cover by CGC?  How are several of these not considered classic covers (shrug)?

I personally feel that 14 is slightly harder to find, although I think part of that may be my own experience in trying to collect all the rivet issues. I found a 15 before I found a 14, so my simple brain decided 14 was harder to find! In all seriousness, both are hard to find books.  It does seem like 15 is harder to find with nice page quality. 

I’m happy with mine, and doubt I could ever afford to upgrade!

It's a classic cover to me.

@comicjackand I ooh'd and ahh'd over this copy when it was featured at the HA booth during NYCC 2017. That was when I made the fateful plunge...

I think 15 is harder but that might be because my 15 is the most I ever paid for a comic.... and NOT sorry! (well not sorry when my wife isn't around)

I couldn't say which was harder. 13, 14, and 15 were all books that I bought the only copy I ever saw.  I think the three made up the weakest books in my collection.  This one looks nice but the brittle pages was disappointing.

one of the copies I passed on due to the brittle pages. I believe I saw this one on Heritage.

Yes, we often discuss/debate whether 14 or 15 is more rare, but 13 is pretty darn hard to find too. I’ve only been collecting Planets for about two and half years, but I’ve seen fewer copies of 13 for sale than 14 or 15.

This one ended up in my collection for a while, but like you I was never happy with the page quality, even though it presents well. I kept imagining the pages crumbling into the bottom of the case!

I've kept my #12 and #13, but let go of multiple copies of #14, #15 and #16 down the years. This was my #16...

For a moment I thought you had my old copy.  But the colors on yours are better.
