Popular Post Sqeggs Posted May 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 29, 2021 I've had these for a while but I don't think I ever posted them. To come to think of it, I haven't been posting anything in recent months! My scanner settings are really actentuating stains and discoloration. These books look better in hand.

Popular Post Sqeggs Posted May 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 29, 2021 I thought this was interesting. First, a book that's clearly Baker, although not acknowledge as such by CGC (I tried!). comicnoir, Ricksneatstuff, ThothAmon and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Now this one is signed by Colletta, but something is going on. Baker pencils that Colletta inked--and then cheekily signed despite not having done the pencils? Colletta copying Baker? Something else? pmpknface, Ricksneatstuff and comicnoir 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to see here Yeah, you know I think this is another decision made in the early days to accommodate collectors/dealers who had Church books (and other peds or keys) with bad dust shadows and now they're stuck with it. Never made sense to me. You can kind of squint and say, ok, production defects, even Marvel chipping, we'll overlook. But what's the rationale for ignoring dust shadows? They're clearly the result of improper storage. How does that get a pass? Well, we know how it gets a pass, but it shouldn't! jimjum12 and GreatCaesarsGhost 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 If you're searching for Baker's worst cover, this one has to be in contention. You can blame the inking, maybe, but it's still pretty ghastly. pmpknface, Yorick, Point Five and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alas, there are zero Baker romance in the collection, apparently. Unless you count the PLs as romance (and count them as Baker!). No SS 4 or SS 6, either. Not sure about Baker Westerns. Apparently the collection will be spread out over multiple auctions, so maybe we'll see some down the line. Ricksneatstuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Love Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Although anything is possible for a teen who bought Miss America. Hoping for a primo Young Romance 1, maybe the My Date run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bring you tidings from a world very much like your own except that in this world Matt Baker was ... Greek?? You found another copy?!? I didn't check the previous posts to see if this was the copy sold on ebay several months ago but another would really be something! These are tough!

You know where i stand on some of these (and there are others on GCD that agree), I think Baker ghosted some of these. Nice copy!
