bcc Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Just picked these up & have a couple of questions for the Baker experts. Is the Secrets of Love and Marriage a Baker? Is the GCE 11 really that scarce? Only 3 on the census and I've never had or seen another in 30+ years of doing this.

Isn't the Love and Marriage a Giordano swipe? I have the Crippen 6.0 GCE11. I've seen one other copy here on the boards, can't remember if it was for sale. Might be in the many pages of this thread. Yeah, it's tough, but I bet some members here have copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably this water stained beater. The Robot Man copy. Can't say I've seen more than just a couple. Once I got this one, it kind of went off my radar. But, yes, scarce indeed. I think the #6 might even be scarcer. And, no NFS... OtherEric, szav and comicnoir 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid what folks were asking, and ended up being very happy. Got a one shot crime book, and a Diary Secrets. I almost passed on the romance book.

Yorick Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 So... Baker is now page 5? Where is Sqeggs when you need him?

This is the second copy of this one I've seen. I have shared black and white reprinted images from some L. Miller's in the past, and I guess it's time to let everyone else in on the secret.
