Not sure if anyone posted this but it sure is funny

He's getting a little handsy!!

Latest Hakes auction had one link The card was made out to an "Eldon". I believe this is a different Eldon than the comic book one. How many Eldon's were in early fandom anyway?

Ain't that the truth! Boy, sometimes it gets tempting to unload the pile of Baker books, but then the wife gives me that stern look, and the temptation quickly fades away. Really? So, your wife is the one who says, "Be patient and hang onto the books because they'll be worth a lot more in the future?" That's great. More often than not, it seems, it's the wife or girl friend who's... well, let's say, more in favor of liquidating the collection. Well, she actually says, "you will never be able to buy them again, so why do you want to sell them?" Plus one book is her favorite, and if I ever kick the bucket, she would sell the collection, but keep that one book. Which one is that This one... She has excellent taste

$141.50 with a little less than a day to go

WOW!! Unbelievable copy

It crashed in china day 4 only 4.58 mil...record drop..check out Variety web page article B v S box office fall short in china...and based on the fact that march is not month in the history of the box-office in which blockbusters are dumped, thats right dumped..they chicken-out when going toe to toe with Cap civil war and put in march to save face..after Deadpool hit the jackpot they should have changed the release date OR and this is a better idea put the R rated version in IMAX for the fans and PG dumbed down version for the kids in the regular theaters...now which version would you have paid to see?..I know what 99% of real fans would see What would make it R rated?....deadpool is an R rated character... Batman, Supes and WW are PG characters (right)... Expanded bathtub scene with Lois and Clark

Wow. Beautiful copy

Beautiful

Here's the recent 9.0. Happy about the grade, although I sure wish that shadow along the edge wasn't there. But can't get too picky about such a tough book. Beautiful book Tony

Do you genuinely believe that book has increased in value 4X since 2013? Sounded to me like a prediction of the next three years, not a statement of the previous three years. The latter doesn't necessarily follow the former. Hmmm So the last GPA on a CGC 6.0 CL 25 was $2188 almost 3 years ago to the day... and last night some lucky soul won a book of comparable grade (although raw for approx. $2100) ... so I guess we'll just have to wait and see when the next graded book comes to auction.... That book last night was a raw vg. It had a lot of edge chipping. That book wasn't a VG. The chips were very minor, made to look larger by the close up pics. Looked like a 5.0 to me. But very well presenting with nice gloss

..... you should have sold the car, dawg GOD BLESS.... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) I could have gone higher without selling the car (probably), but I get sticker shock on anything above $2k these days. I don't have the gumption I once did, as a younger man. It was a very good effort I knew that book was going to explode

Wow!!!. Great price on that one - $2102

True about PR 16. Almost makes me wonder if there might have been a warehouse find. Interesting. On a related note does anyone have a top 5 list of most common to find Baker romance books - even if they are not exactly falling off of trees

Artwork was taken from the cover of Master #45. I think Raboy was gone by this time and they were using swipes and/or unused material

If anyone is wondering who got that copy of Giant Comics Editions #15, it's now for sale here on the boards. http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=9148768&gonew=1#UNREAD It was me...worked something out with the seller (but had to pay substantially more than that auction price) Whoa! You mean he wouldn't honor the auction price? Very uncool of him. No he was cool - remember I wasn't the auction winner there - but I suggested if he worked it out with the winner of the lot and pulled that one book that I would give him a very fair price for it. So everyone was happy ultimately.

Well I'm hoping a boardie got it least. link My snipe bid didn't fire and I am bummed out

I enjoyed it. Appreciated the "Plastino" reference

So rumor has it.... Wasn't one of the Leave it to Binky's among the last books he needed? Buzzy 70 or something like that? You could be right that it was Buzzy, not Binky. Yes it was Buzzy 70. I'm the one that found it for him

Yes I noticed that too. It thought somebody might steal it..but not so

Thoughts on the CL 25 that just ended today?

I asked Stephen about it this weekend. He said that it became logistically difficult with Matt in FL now plus family, kids, etc.I think he said a third or so of the book is done but a third party company recently approached them to issue chapters electronically - to keep it alive to some degree and whet people's appetites. I hope something happens with it.

Claudio has just sent me a wonderful new GA rarity for my collection. Tops Comics (Jack of Spades). The transaction was entirely effortless. Without question one of my favorite boardies!!!
