I have noticed they do not hammer as hard for missing chunks as one would think. I had a 7.5 with a piece missing like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New census topper, and one of my favorites! Very nice! I know not everyone agrees, but I think this is one of the handful of toughest Baker romance books. Possibly the toughest apart from the one-shots. My copy is a 4.0 graded by the other guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice copy but have to agree I might have guessed a 3.5 with the piece out of the top right corner and the large lower right corner crease. CGC is definitely unpredictable right now but congrats on the 4.0. Still an attractive copy of a beautiful Baker cover! Yorick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am floored by these prices. I bought mine less than a year ago on eBay....for nowhere near that, and the price I paid occasioned a few comments on overpaying. I mean, it's a beautiful cover, one of my favorites by Baker, just surprising how quickly these things escalate.

The copy that sold tonight on eBay had deep colors and a really nice overall cover image which I believe played a big role in the hammer price. I would also agree that a 3.0 from CGC is possible. It's amazing but every time I think we hit a new high on Bakers, the following week we hit another high point. I obtained my copy about 20 years ago and it also has very strong eye appeal but I will need to look it over to see how it compares with your copy. Either way, we should both consider ourselves pretty lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
