I'd love to have one better than 0.5. This book was sort of thrown in on a cash/trade deal 12-13 years ago. Did not appreciate the rarity of it at the time. Just one of those at the right place at the right time things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicnoir Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Hey Will, ppl looking to fill runs I suppose, or the classic cover crowd. Rare + classic cover = big $$. It doesn't hurt it's not a bad looking copy for the grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Baker 4life Love your signature Kat The interesting thing to me here is that, yes there were two buyers who took this book into the stratosphere, but there were another few who saw a 2.5 ish copy to be worth over a grand. This is showing more people are coming to the Baker party. I was late to learn about Mr Baker's work outside Phantom Lady and have had to pay pretty steep prices myself for almost anything I have.

Thanks Rick I switch over into Baker OA, but if I could have predicted the future -I should have kept all my Baker books. Back in 2001 all this books cost pennies.

Back in 2001 all this books cost pennies. Over the last year I’ve sold at least 75 or 80 Baker books here on the boards, mostly at prices that people thought were too high and yet as it turns out they were bargains. I’m grateful that I do not have a completionist mentality. That could get pretty expensive today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, check out Chili #2 for double entendres - http://www.dcindexes.com/features/comic.php?comicid=56250 Last, Adventure #42o.
