kelholt 1,916 posts Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) My one win from the CC Berk Extravaganza: Planet 14 As most most Planet collectors can attest, just owning a 14 is special so condition can sometimes be secondary. This one is second highest graded behind the Church copy, and I have no hope that book will be available in the next decade or I could afford. Happy to say that in hand it looks just as good or better than the scans. It has a true purplish background where a majority of Planet 14's have a blue background.

Fantastic book, Kelly, one of my favorite Zolnerowich covers, and so hard to come by! Wonderful colors on your copy. This cover always reminds me of the cowardly lion in the Wizard of Oz, though these tomahawk-wielding lion aliens ain't very cowardly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely one of my favorite Planet covers too. A great looking copy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
