It was completely missing the bottom staple, but I love this cover, if anyone has one they would like to move? That book is smoking hot. I recently paid through the nose for CGC 3.5. Thought I would just get it while I still can. Can always upgrade later. Looks like a nice copy other than the missing staple. I would have tried to negotiate a lower price (depending on what you paid). It’s not like you couldn’t resell it when you found another copy closer to your liking. Again, depending on what you paid.

I agree. He shoulda asked for a partial refund, then taken a staple out of a similar age book of less value, and put it in. Easy undetectable fix.

Good suggestion. And I did try that, but he said he'd rather take it back than discount it. It's for sale again with the lower staple issue now disclosed.

I didn't get to Brian's table until Saturday, and only because he told me he had gotten some new River City books. The box had obviously been picked through, but this book and a Crazy #1 were still in there. Sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost 6 is also phenomenal! I can’t fault you for picking that one. I also consider Planet 71 to be in that same conversation. He did some truly wonderful work for Fiction House.

eschnit Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I have a question I’m certain I can get the answer for here. Look at these two books. Two different publishers, 3 years apart. Only thing in common is Matt Baker. There are so many similarities it’s surreal. The explanation isn’t obvious. I’m wondering what it is. The artistry of the two ladies tilt, the angles, the action, the symmetry are all 👨🍳, but the thing that maybe stands out the most is the color scheme. It almost looks like Baker had the same colorist at the same publisher and said make APC 8 look identical to Seven Seas 6, can we get the same ink? It’s surreal to me. I can think of a few Batman covers years apart with close to identical color schemes, but that’s easier explained it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eschnit Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Maybe it’s more common than I thought and a silly question. These are both Whitman, same publisher, but still, such a similar color scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eschnit Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 (edited) ...I answered my own question. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it, for the artists that mimic themselves. And copying is the sincerest form of flattery for those that were “inspired” by someone else. I guess it’s all over the place without having to look too hard. Thanks for entertaining my naïveté...
