Crown Comics 4?

Just a stunner.

Not true. CC bought out my Baker thread 2 weeks ago.

Thanks William. He who never sleeps. Thread closed.

More reductions. Will close down thread Tuesday night. Make offer.

I saw the buyer and the piece has been traded/sold.

Link?

Price reductions for all 3.

Diary Secrets 13 Tougher book with some of Baker's textured half tone work. Great eye appeal, tear on top left of cover. 4.0/4.5 $650.00 $525.00 $450.00 shipped.

Teen-age Romances 6 Very nice 4.0/4.5 copy. Bob thinks so too. Bobs name appears on 5 other occasions in the book. Copy sold on CC recently for $3200.00. $500.00 $400.00 $350.00 shipped.

Here are some books you don't see every day. Will except returns. True Love Pictorial 9, great cover as you can see. Rough spine brings it down, although it's all attached. Cover art almost unblemished. Give it a 2.5. A raw Good sold on Ha last year for $528.00. Doesn't hold a candle. https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/true-love-pictorial-9-st-john-1954-condition-gd/a/121835-11843.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515 $600.00 $500.00 $400.00shipped.

Thankfully mine is straight.

Baker was art director at St. John's for some duration. The sophistication of colour palette in the later issues would point to his hand in it. The soft result on the TaR 42 was a bit surprising. That's a book that deserves classic cover status.

Beautiful Baker cover vs ugly horror cover. Ugly wins.

I was an underbidder. Should have stepped up my game.

It was, and still is, the Crippen copy on a Ha weekly auction just when they were starting out. I was familiar with the book because Harley had a HG copy he wanted $350.00 for which I thought was a lot even though I wanted it. Was happy and surprised when I got this one for much cheaper. The Crippen had better colour strike than Harley's.

What a rush seeing these books again. So rare in these grades.

It's a beaut, still have it of course. Wish I had had the resources to go after more.

I started looking up the prices realized on GPA. They were there except for my Tat 1. Wonder why?

Andy thanks for jogging my memory. What a feast and yes I won the TaT 1. I think I paid $1500.00 which was unheard of at the time for me or most ppl. Now just another walk in the park. Too bad they couldn't keep the momentum. Their auctions don't Sparkle as much.

I have a catalogue of his somewhere, maybe I threw it away. Has his contact info.

I bought my Seven Seas 5 from him so long ago, it was my first Seven Seas. Of course I was really looking for a 4 or a 6. Just disappeared is right.

Take per pm

Oh please do.

No I wasn't. The question is did you win it and do you still possess?
