Sqeggs Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I assume a Baker fan won this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Nov-1955-Nugget-men-039-s-magazine-Vol-1-No-1-mag10658-/352290301657?nma=true&si=fzl8syYJm99fAuNCLmx8M4PiQfc%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 I imagine the seller was surprised at the price he got for a "vintage girlie magazine," as he described it. Well worth picking up a copy, for anyone who doesn't have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen at least two others that went for $100. to $200. (one was a BIN). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be forgetting, but I don't think any of the auction houses have offered a copy noting the Baker angle. Heritage listed a copy last year, but without mentioning Baker. It sold for $51.

Of course, I'd forgotten this last auction was only listed in "magazine back issues". The others I'd seen were listed in Golden Age comics.

Popular Post RobbieC Posted March 4, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2018 I have had this copy for around 5 years and recently graded it. I haven't really shown it off before. The story behind finding it was I stopped to eat at an Outback on the way home from a road trip. Across the street was a comic shop. I rarely go to comic shops, maybe once or twice per year. I walked in and they didn't have much that interested me but they had a couple mag boxes of golden age under their tables. I was more than shocked when I came across this copy of CL 25. I had been aware of it for years but GA romance is generally not what I collect. The kicker was there were about 10 or so more Baker covers in similar or nicer grades. The ones I remember were Going Steady and more Cinderella Loves. I didn't own a smart phone at the time and wasn't sure on the rest so I left them. I realized what I passed up on about 6 months later and ran into the owner at a local con. I asked if he still had them. He said he couldn't sell them so he just blew them out to a dealer. Surprising to hear considering the very low price tags he had on them. Oh well. At least I scored this beauty... sacentaur, 29dukedog, Yorick and 6 others 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ricksneatstuff Posted March 5, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2018 I was happy to end up with this one even though it cost me a little more than I would have preferred.

One of my favorite Baker montage covers. I'm glad you won it and I'm glad it was won by someone who realized that Heritage's write-up was incorrect to say that it's the highest graded copy. It (and SS 4) are probably my favorite Baker non-St John covers. And it might be worth mentioning that Heritage seems to be making a lot of errors lately in referencing the census. I won a book last night that supposedly had only one copy on the census when in fact there are three copies. So, for anyone for whom census rank matters a lot, it's worth double checking what Heritage says in an auction write-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
