Both are lovely books, and by the current standard of zany/spiking prices not entirely that surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where you the one I talked to on instagram?! I remember an interested party messaging me about it; I asked $50 via PM and someone declining.. That was before I knew what I had and just though it was a pretty cover. I would for sure be kicking myself if I would have sold it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you were able to get much more for it if it helps you collect other stuff you are more interested in. steve566 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manetteska Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I know this isn't the WTB thread, but I will probably reach more of my audience this way. I am looking for Baker post-code issues. If anyone has any doubles, leads (outside of auction houses), etc. it would be greatly appreciated. Chief1332 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there are post code issues.. is there an abundance, or lots, or several, or few..? To be more specific, I am looking for St. John post-code. I'd say there are several, though they don't show up often compared to the pre-code work. There are also covers he did for other publishers which are - generally - more common. And I'm sure someone will more knowledge will show up to fix mistakes/assumptions I've made.

PeterPark Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 But is there a cinderella love 25-like image in the saturday evening post? Because Thisavros has at least two images thus far that have been used by or had something to do with Baker. It still may not be the post that inspired him but the Greek magazine after all...New York is clearly a Metropolitan city and maybe he walked by a diverse newsstand on his way to work. Or made it his work to stop by there and see what images gave him ideas from all around the world. And maybe borrowing from a magazine in another language made it less likely to be seen as a swipe?
