Sqeggs Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Now this one might be stretching it, just a tad. But more power to Roger if he can pull it off. I've bought Bakers off him in the past, but for way lower prices. https://www.ebay.com/itm/142592764315?ul_noapp=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I paid much less for this copy (still atop the census) and a lot of people (including me!) thought that I had way overpaid. sacentaur, torontodesignguy and sagii 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like most everything about this cover but the lead blonde ruins it for me. An odd position on the girls face/head and really she looks kind of ugly and unbaker like to me.

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 prices for this book are outrageous. This Baker-mania is just insane. Well, I'm glad I already own one of these...and I only paid $25 for it...back when prices were what they should be...rant, rant, grumble, grumble... Hmmm...wonder what i could get for mine now? Maybe...One Meeleon dollars...? Edited November 23, 2017 by Tri-ColorBrian october 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tri-Color Brian Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 And...I remember when it was a big deal to find a Wartime Romances 17...and I think it still might be...but a TAR 42? WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite Baker Romance cover ( for the word balloons and text as much as the art). You have to wonder if someone slipped the double entendres in here intentionally.

The highest bid below the underbidder was $666.00. $666 is probably the true value of the book. Two thrill bidders doesn't determined true market value. Let's put that axiom to the test. Let's see if this follow-up listing sells at a new all time high price. l torontodesignguy and 29dukedog 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem such a bad deal now... I had forgotten about that one. Yeah, now seems like they were giving it away! Kind of like a couple of high-grade copies of Seven Seas 4 that were listed at seemingly crazy prices. Or the Sixth Street books. Is been a wild ride with Bakers.

But i have to admit that it will be interesting to see if anyone pulls the trigger on this copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
