17's have very different colors. I have seen a copy where the girl's boots are green.

I would love to do a Planet Board members get together. Everyone bring their books and we could compare.

We would have to do it someplace special, perhaps Mars?

I was browsing this Planet thread trying to find the post I made of issue 17 color variances. I posted like 4-5 or more different ones but due to a hard drive failure a few years ago I lost the image.

I found a picture comparing Planet 17 scans that you posted in an older Planet Comics thread here:

Rather than a get together where everyone brings their Planet 17 to compare colors, how about you all just send me your Planet 17's and I'll compare the colors :devil:

The Toledo copy I used to own of Planet 18 is the best color I have seen on that book.

I don't have my pic and I don't recall who got it but I hope it shows up here because it is pretty and I miss it. :x

I used to own it, bought off of Ebay maybe 15 years ago. Whoever sold it to you likely got it from me!

Personally, I've always preferred the later issues of Planets like Planet 61 and Planet 71myself, but unfortunately for me they always seem to be right up there in price.  :frown:

Noticed that they have the following Planet 70 in tonight's CL auction, except that it's already over $1K or at something like 5X condition guide value:  :whatthe:

Is that the going condition guide multiples for Planets in these mid-grade condition range although I guess this copy here does seem to present nicely in terms of its strong bold colors and nice PQ?  :luhv:

If that's the case, then I just might have to forget about adding any of these later Planets into my personal collection.  :( 

Hopefully, unlike most other recent auctions, it's due more to the fact that there's only a lonely 2 Planets in this particular CL auction here tonight and both of them seem to present very nicely in terms of their strong colors and PQ.  :wishluck:

Yes, this is not unusual. A 6.0 sold a year ago on Heritage for $1140. This should be $1300-1500 now I think.

agree with Rick. That cover is the quintessential "science fiction" cover and is very popular among collectors.

Well, you and @Artboy99 are certainly the spreader of good news here from a potential buyer's point of view.  :p  :censored:

I guess since green has always been my favorite color, that's probably why both of these rather sharp looking Planets in tonight's CL auction looks pretty tempting, but probably beyond my price range by the final buzzer.  :(

I think Sean (aka Markentoth) has it now, along with the Toledo Planet 1.

My Planet 18.  Seems that most copies are much bluer but this one is more purple.  I wonder if that is from the printing process or could it be the way the blue ages over time or reacts with light?  I actually like both colors so maybe I just need to get a second copy...

Planet 18.jpg

it is definitely from the printing process.
