With the stains, probably more like a 3.0, but the underbidder of the raw copy might have grabbed it. The eye appeal is just not consistent with the grade. It would be interesting to see whether this book would sell at its current price if it were in a CGC 3.0 holder (the grade I think it would probably get) rather than a PGX 4.0 holder. torontodesignguy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might move if the seller provided clearer photos... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's using a scanner that doesn't handle slabs well. You're right that he should probably switch to using photos of his slabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorick Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Did someone here grab that 150 romance comic lot off ebay? It had some TAR photo covers and a Teen-age Temptations 1 amongst the few books pictured. I was waiting for the seller to respond to my query and now its gone.

I took a hard look at it, but the price was just too high for me. At least one of the Baker books looked to be pretty low grade as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was curious if the majority of the books were silver/bronze... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n2wdw Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 It's been an interesting year for Matt Baker. If I had to plot it out on a graph, prices were going up the first 6 months -- steady but not outrageous. Then it leveled out for a while, and I saw Bakers not selling on eBay, and I was able to pick up a few decent deals. Then suddenly prices are going through the roof, so much so I'm tempted to sell my undercopies (I only have a few, unfortunately). Is this what you all are seeing?

Is this what you all are seeing? yes I agree - although this may partly be because a few of the harder to come by books changed hands for $1000 + (even over $10k for Seven Seas) and that has pushed prices for other books up - so put me in line for your under copies please - I'm happy with low grade books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm reading the description correctly, the seller bought it years ago because he thinks the woman looks like Bettie Page! I think Baker actually based her Jane Russell. I believe somewhere in this thread, somebody posted a photo of Russell in a similar pose. A somewhat ragged copy of Baker's little Cinderella book is also up on eBay.
