With Baker, not making the top 10 can still mean I really like it! sagii 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't in the title, wasn't really pictured, and wasn't graded. There were actually two Baker books in the bunch and the other arrived with four pages torn out. It was a gamble, but at that price I figured I could at least get my money back as long as one of the two Bakers wasn't a total wreck. The other Baker is worthless, but 1 out of 2 isn't bad!

That's what I love about eBay; the unusual opportunities, and the risks that sometimes pay off big time. Well done!

Sqeggs Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Main Baker thread on Page 2? I think not! Got this one graded. I admit that the more selective and discriminating collectors among us might object to some of the trifling flaws in this copy, but for me, given its scarcity, it's still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that lot and threw up a lower offer a few minutes before yours. First time I'd seen an auction with a best offer option. Your gamble paid off, as with part of the cover obscured, and a description limited to all books fair to fine, one didn't know exactly what one was getting, as the 2nd Baker book would indicate. Sucks that one had four pages missing, but at least it wasn't the CL 25. And as long as they are complete, the rest of the lot had some cost defraying value as well, and even a Baker cover with pages missing isn't completely worthless. Well Done! october 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a lot more comfortable with it than others I think are a long shot being called Bakers today. I also think it’s become worthy of a “classic cover” designation too. Either way I didn’t post it for debate but for the enjoyment of the art regardless of where you might feel it belongs. peace, jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
