I even received one disparaging remark about the book. I had graded it as VG. So I submitted it for grading (straight sub, no pressing) and I braced for a grade of 3.0 to 3.5, because CGC had been hard on my last few submits. Plus I had no interest from others in the book. So look what CGC thought... Nice! Grade seems accurate to me, just judging by the front cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Love Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 To me, judging from the front cover scan, it presents like an easy 8.0 every day and twice on sunday. Obviously something up with the book that's not obvious in a scan. Or some serious bc stuff. In other words, it looks like the poster child for a 4.5 in a face forward slab, which is all most care about anyway. Not counting the miscut - which CGC won't but which a buyer might. Good job, Roland! Great eye, as always. Sqeggs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post szav Posted December 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2018 Got a new dress for my favorite lady.... mentioned a while back I'd convinced CGC to update a Baker cover attribution. It only took sending them a polite email pointing out that Art of Glamour, OPG, GCD, and JVJ in a few articles attributed the PL 13 cover to Baker and they kindly agreed to update the label. I'm not sure if I'm in the minority or not, but I really really dislike the look of the old label holders so it was worth a few bucks to me to get my number 1 book into a new holder.

Is there moisture damage and a tear on the bottom? I can't quite remember. I'll have to dig it out and take a look. I'm thinking there's (at least) a third giant girl cover from that period out there. Can anybody think of one? I can't think offhand of another cover where Baker was (apparently) doing a semi-swipe of another artist's cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
