Is the seller just misinformed? Wonder why they think those are Bakers

Just a way to justify the asking price.

Cynic! Put, alas, probably accurate view.

GCD got this one wrong. The Art of Glamour is probably the most accurate Baker checklist, and rightfully, no issues of Love & Marriage are listed. This art is too stiff to have come from either Baker or Kamen at this point in time. In the last panel it looks like someone did a halfway decent job of tracing a Baker female face from another source, but overall, the body positions are awkward, and the men's faces in particular are far from Baker style.

Yeah, it's hard to know where that info came from.  The GCD attributions for Baker that I trust are the ones by Jim V., Jr., who, of course, also did the checklist for The Art of Glamour. Admittedly, that does make my reasoning a bit circular. In any, event I share the skepticism that these pages have any work by Baker.

A couple of you reprobates made me pay more than I wanted to for this one.

From one reprobate to another, You're welcome...and congrats!  Would have pushed you a bit higher but paying the highest graded premium for a 9.0 makes me nervous.  

Dunno what else is out there raw still.  Long term though I think 2k for a book like this may end up looking like a bargain.

If it's only about the money, it may have done better in one of those "Pedigree" holders.

I've had this copy for ages and decided to slab it. Thought it would grade higher. Put me slightly ahead of you, was not counting in all honesty.

That's a purdy looking 4.0. What is keeping the grade down?

Another black and white reprint found its way into my mailbox yesterday.  Originally printed in color for Love Romances 57.  This coverless copy unfortunately is missing the last page of story art for the Baker portion (which would have been printed on the inside of the back cover).
