We just see so few sales of higher-grade copies of these three books that it's tough to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Someone paid $2,200 for a PLOD GCE 12 CGC 2.5. Don't know if that's high or low these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of those, "Man, am I ever going to get a copy of this?" books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually sat for about a day surprisingly. I think the ship just sailed on me ever getting this one... I don’t really wanna pay 3-4K for a junky looking 2.0. I still don't have a copy of SS 4... and I'm ok with it. For me, an intolerable situation would exist if SS 6 was the super valuable issue, and I still needed one of those. Then, I'd be tearing out my hair right about now. Like many others, SS 4 is a book I can be content worshipping from afar. Sqeggs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RICK STARR Posted March 24, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2018 Some Baker beauties fresh back from Sarasota. Highest grade Highest grade 6.5 tied for highest Tied for highest. Baker was on a roll with this issue and then following up with the gorgeous TLP 11 classic. adamstrange, szav, sacentaur and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a quite a book! Im more then a little jealous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorick Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) @RICK STARR that DS27 is a winner for me (I don't care what others think about those clouds...)! That looks like a TLP10, not 11. Must be a typo. A better copy than mine. Just hold off on making a registry set this year.... Edited March 26, 2018 by Yorick Too late for that!

sacentaur Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 As expected, Bakers were rare at WonderCon - I bought several low-grade issues with the photo covers (I just wanted the Baker art), but did manage solid copies of Romantic Marriage 23 and True Love Pictorial 7. Not high grade, but very presentable with nice colors and pages - just the way I like 'em! Ricksneatstuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
