In any event, this one was my first Baker. pmpknface and 1950's war comics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Love Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 good times, eh? 6 years ago, that one was part of a four book Baker lot. My pleasure to contribute along the way to a now legendary Baker collection! An excellent example. Yours was blue, my other buyers' was purple. I told him at the time his was somewhat unique because of that. As true then as it is today. RareHighGrade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamstrange Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Scanners can be part of the variation but my recollection is that my old copy had a decent amount of purple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won the Love Romances 84 (among others) and was going to write the seller that they were completely wrong in stating that the interior had Baker art, but GCD says it has two Baker stories... Wha?! They look entirely Colletta to me. Yes, that was me Jumped a little at the end, but my max was still enough to take it home. I will continue to hoard some of these (Quality Bakers) when i can seeing how underappreciated they seem to be. I love them! The tide will turn one day as more Baker admires enter the fray. Look at what the Baker St.John Horror covers are getting now!! The Texan and Wild Boys are heating up, no where to go afterward but post St. John. I'm acquiring select Baker Atlas issues too.

I've been collecting all these books for years, just because I like them... (and 'cause they used to be inexpensive!) Now they're almost worth their weight in gold. (Or have they passed that point already...?) I think this is kinda neat. Point Five, pmpknface and szav 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the best looking copy i have seen of that one! If only it was 'Wild Girl of the Congo' But then they wouldn't have been so 'inexpensive' so long I'm still wondering what the #15 (highest graded) on HA is going to bring come hammer time....

szav Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Good to see this thread picking up speed again...here's some Baker non romance you don't see often I just picked up.

Sqeggs Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Some fairly strong prices on a couple of Bakers on HA today. Would both have been upgrades for me, but I think I was the under, under, under, under bidder on them. Yorick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
