Not nearly as nice as Jimbo's copy or Rick's!

 

Nice enough though :)

 

Thank you. I am not complaining. I am happy to have it. I just don't think it is the 5.0 it was advertised as. This should hold me over until I find something better. I think a true 6.0 would be nice. I am in no hurry. Hunting is fun.

 

Thank you again.

I also picked this one up this week. It is a CGC 6.0, but unfortunately the low quality picture does not do it justice and I could not get it to scan properly. I probably need to find out from other board members what a good scanner is for scanning books (both raw and slabbed).

That looks like a beauty of a 6.0. Congrats. :applause:

One of my favorite Planet covers :cloud9:

Here is my CGC 5.0.

Very hard book to find in higher grade.

Looks a little better than 5.0 from what is showing.

 

Nice book!

Mine too. In the recent poll (here on the boards) as to the best Planet cover, I am pretty sure I voted for 56. There are LOTS of great Planet covers, but that black cover and attractive girl just seals the deal.

Nice copies guys. Any wear shows up so easily, that any copy that is relatively unmarred is a keeper, regardless of the technical grade. It still puzzles me that it is so much tougher than most other later issues to find in grade. Or maybe its because the aesthetically pleasing 'sleeping beauty' cover stands out, and even non-Planeteers keep their copies? I've never heard a satisfactory explanation.

My favorite two covers in the hobby are Phantom Lady 18 and Planet 65. So, this is one book, even before I was into golden age stuff I was always looking for. I've had 8 copies over the years and this is the best I've been able to do. It is like a 8.0-8.5 (unpressed- would press a little better due to a small non color crease on back cover corner. BUT it has a 3/8" bottom split and a little piece out of upper corner of back cover, bringing it down to the 5.0-5.5 range probably. Still, I like it. One day I will send it in for evaluation since I still have extra reading copies.
