Hopefully he doesn’t mind me using his pic, it’s already on my phone so it’s convenient... Spyder!, MattnNY, sacentaur and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And my 15 undercopy has already sold, sorry! Callaway29 and comicjack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacentaur Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Despite a long term focus on Planets, I’ve never owned a 14 or 15 mainly because of PQ issues... still on the hunt decades later. Spyder! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the CC image....funny how the colors pop so well in their images.  The reds are definitely strong on it though. Here it is in hand...no special lighting.  szav, Spyder!, kelholt and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower counts than all other issues of Planet Comics. Thanks for posting those stats, Jared! I wonder if the lower numbers are really due to "limited distribution" issues for both 14 and 15, or if it's just the vagaries of chance, or, maybe the kids just weren't that into these covers? Looks like the next lowest in the census (Universal copies) is issue #24, which would go along with Gerber's scarcity rating of "7" (though he blew it on issue #14, with a rating of "4") Title Planet Comics Issue No. 24 Issue Date 5/43 Year 1943 Publisher Fiction House Country  Art Comments Dan Zolnerowich cover, Graham Ingels, Lee Elias, Joe Doolin,, George Tuska and George Appel art Country/Variant -  Grade Universal Qualified Signature Series RestoredSee Detail  Total Mint  10.0 0 0 0 0  0 Mint  9.9 0 0 0 0  0 Near Mint/Mint  9.8 0 0 0 0  0 Near Mint +  9.6 1 0 0 0  1 Near Mint  9.4 0 0 0 0  0 Near Mint -  9.2 2 0 0 0  2 Very Fine/Near Mint  9.0 1 0 0 0  1 Very Fine +  8.5 0 0 0 0  0 Very Fine  8.0 3 0 0 0  3 Very Fine -  7.5 1 0 0 0  1 Fine/Very Fine  7.0 1 0 0 0  1 Fine +  6.5 2 0 0 0  2 Fine  6.0 1 0 0 0  1 Fine -  5.5 3 0 0 0  3 Very Good/Fine  5.0 0 1 0 0  1 Very Good +  4.5 0 0 0 0  0 Very Good  4.0 1 0 0 0  1 Very Good -  3.5 1 0 0 0  1 Good/Very Good  3.0 0 0 0 1  1 Good +  2.5 1 0 0 0  1 Good  2.0 1 0 0 0  1 Good -  1.8 1 0 0 0  1 Fair/Good  1.5 0 0 0 0  0 Fair  1.0 0 0 0 0  0 Poor  0.5 0 0 0 0  0  Total 20 1 0 1  22 MattnNY and Spyder! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Zolnerowich Posted September 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 3, 2019 Here's my entry to the club. BTW, now that I'm in the club, when do I get my free hat pin with Buzz Crandall's mug on it? And my free Gale Allen button? If necessary, I'll clip off the coupons on my 14 and 15 to cover postage.   sacentaur, Spyder!, Ricksneatstuff and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad you’re in this game for the right reasons Beautiful copies Jay! I’d seen them both before but that in no one way detracts from their beauty. Only 2 better copies of 15, are you kidding me?!! MattnNY 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t beat a Church copy of one of the most desirable books out there. The book on the right looks smaller to my eye, or is it just an optical illusion?
