I do have the CL 26 8.0. I can't find the scan, just my under copy which I sold.

That CK 1 appeared on my phone. I thought someone was showing it off. By a weird convergence it was a California dealer showing it. He said I can have it if I want.

I'll keep looking for the CL. It's on the Baker thread....somewhere.

I think I posted yours from the CLink listing before. And that is a weird stroke of luck, wow.

I thought you had the graded 8.0 of CL 26. Also how did you get that pristine Canteen Kate?

Was someone calling for this?

Don't stop there. We need your 8.0 CL 26 & 8.5 CK 1 to complete the trifecta.

I agree issue 13 is a cool cover.  I was excited to find this on ebay for a good price.

Pretty cool how it predates Godzilla with the city destruction and such.

ACG's, at least in the horror genre, get little respect.  The covers can't match many of the other publishers fare at the time; Atlas, EC, Charlton, etc.  Their four stories usually only included one W/O a happy ending.

Hadn't really noticed. Personally, I always enjoyed covers by Whitney and Bald on ACG. Definitely some memorable ones.

Even still, I guess I love the hunt more than the hold. 

Bums me out I wasn't around for your old sales threads. Missed out on some nice gems.

Recent Heritage wins. 

You won those really cheap. Surprised more weren't interested. I have a 5.5 of #14, great cover.

That's what they're most known for. People say it's because he doesn't actually want to sell his comics so he keeps them overpriced. It's more like a museum.

Secret Wars 8 always baffled me. Almost 30k graded copies, it's not rare whatsoever but always plastered on social media.

So I finally graded my copy and it just got back.

I was close saying it looked on par with the 8.0 copy. Second highest graded is still monumental.

Out of my wheelhouse but good luck. Stunning book. How long have you had it?

Interesting how the banner at the top of the front cover is advertising the longevity of the art team. Obviously, that was a concern at one point. 

I've never seen that before on a comic cover. Were readers getting fed up with no Todd involvement (I'm guessing) & a rotating roster of artists?

Another recent acquisition and my favorite Doolin cover of the run. 

Nice one, I thoroughly enjoy Doolin covers. Guy was a workhorse for Fiction House.

I have no knowledge whatsoever about this book. What made the price skyrocket in 8 years?

Well it is #3 in Overstreet's top 10 romance, and it doesn't show up that often. Coupled with the girl's jutting profile and you've got demand. I got my copy around that same time from Harley for $180.00, so I got lucky He had another copy for $300.00 I should have bought. Here's mine.

Nice. What you paid is roughly in line with the other Bakers you got back then. But on Heritage in 2006, I didn't think the market existed for a Baker romance comic to net $1400. Figured at that time the only book tied to his name fetching hefty prices was PL 17, mainly due to its association with SOTI. I stand corrected. Some other noteworthy older sales:
