I gotta give you credit for the lamp. That's one of my favorite APC covers and I never noticed the lamp. Maybe deserves a cover notation from GCG.

N e r V Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 So I know for a lot of people this is a classic cover so anyone want to guess the final price at auction over at ComicConnect? It’s a solid grade number but I have to admit I’m used to seeing copies from other collectors with cleaner whites and brighter colours than this copy. I can’t tell if that’s foxing or some general browning at the very top either. It looks to have some tanning on the cover edges inward too. Guesses in today’s market???

Only three copies on the census with the one that sold here being the topper. I have a 4.0 in the bad guys' slab. Your copy is the best I can recall seeing. Over three years ago I paid more than $500 for a raggedy raw copy on eBay listed by the OP herself. Alas, it came back from CGC restored. On 9/19/2017 at 8:41 AM, 29dukedog said: Yeah, but "only three copies on the census" describes a great many of the St. John romance. I think that's more a reflection of the scarcity of these books. Like my TLP 9, there are probably more than a few raw copies still out there that would top the census, if submitted. On 9/19/2017 at 11:44 AM, Yorick said: I have a newly obtained copy in Sarasota right now that I hope will validate Dukedog's prediction... we shall see. I want to wait for my books to be in-hand so the grades will be a surprise, but I did take a peek at the census for TLP9. There's a 6.0 that I don't recall seeing previously.

lhcomics Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Here is a small Baker group shot. These are from an original owner collection I picked up some time back and I have them set to auction on eBay under Lhcomics starting Sunday evening. comicnoir 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 The Flamingo OA piece hammered at $3,585. I think it would have gone significantly higher if it could have been clearly attributed to Baker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 6.5 that sold on Comiclink in September went for $4,766 (if you were not watching that auction...) My copies are all beat. Maybe I'll get one back from Sarasota today?

Dunno guess we'll see where the market settles... could be outliers like the Diary Secrets 14 cgc 6.0 that went for $2,270 a year and a half ago... that one seems to have since spiraled back down since then. Or maybe these prices will hold. Where's all the Long time Baker experts? Surprised there's not much commentary in this thread after these results...
