I had been stalking the Boards for quite a while before the CGC Board update/revamp. I won a Flyin Jenny, GS12, TAR37, and TAR39 in 2013. Does not look like I won any of the books in that particular group, but I have won others from Sparkle City. Ricksneatstuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice - one of the best Ace painted covers. White pages. And a Carson City to boot! Beautiful book, but there's something about this one that reminds me of a certain doctor . . .

Maybe I'm just biased towards Baker vs Cole, and have gotten too used to ridiculous prices for everything and have too high an expectation for it all now.

Lovely Baker cover vs horror cover by LB Cole Sexy and horrific will usually go for more than lovely. comicjack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBaumann02 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I got Going Steady 12. I've got my two grails now, Cinderella Love 28 and Going Steady 12. I would get Cinderella Love 25 if I could afford it but those are my two Bakers I really wanted. Yorick, MB1952 and Point Five 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have a clue to what percent of these crazy prices on horror/ violent stuff is speculation driven? I find it hard to imagine there are THAT MANY collectors who just love decapitation or injection covers, call me crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it hard to imagine there are THAT MANY collectors who just love decapitation or injection covers, call me crazy. Wild horror books have been heavily collected since the dawn of fandom. The romance boom has for the most part been a more recent thing. Probably because of the lower prices. I have always loved the horror and crime books. So wild and over the top. It’s hard to believe kids could just buy them for s dime. It’s not just about the covers either. There are actually pages beyond those graphic covers with stories that are fun to read. I have loved Baker art long before he was so popular. But for the most part, romance stories leave me flat. The few romance books Ibuy are for covers mostly. You get a lot more bang for you dime with horror books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought one years ago at what I thought at the time, was a pretty aggressive price. Ha, ha, ha... because it was great art and so suggestive.

Popular Post sagii Posted September 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2019 Always occasionally trot out this one. After the results on the high grade (and low on the romance end) Bakers, I'd say it was one of my better scores. Only one graded higher currently I believe, and by only a point. comicjack, comicnoir, MBFan and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful colors on a beautiful copy Corey. This is every bit as good as any of his romance covers. On a lot of Bakers, this is a unicorn grade wise.
