But I guess there's a woman in a dress/skirt? I think that's one of the most desirable Texan issues. I'd put 5 there too, but beyond those 2 there is a dropoff. 8 9 and 11 aren't bad and 6 has the first appearance of Wakanda (?) but the issues without prominent women don't compare to almost any issue of the Hawk (by Baker). comicnoir and Point Five 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post comicnoir Posted April 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2021 I always liked it. My copy I found in a bin for $30.00. MBFan, szav, Chief1332 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many copies with a white logo like that... Is this from the set of four WR's auctioned on feebay a few days back? That one also had a nice white logo.

If you *need* a woman on a Baker cover, I like #4 more; probably #8 as well (she's not front-and-center, but she has a red dress!) Overall, I like the different compositions used on #s 11 and 12.

I don't recall any mouse chew on the feebay lot issue (it was an auction for four issues of WRs, including 1 and 7). Four issues for about 1k. CHEAP!!

Chief1332 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 When it's all said and done, I'm wondering how many from this collection will be or tie for highest graded? From what we've seen thus far, I would think it will be no small number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
