on my watch list. double cover

Any one seen this documentary Beautiful Renee Lily what a talent.

fix sorry typing quick at work.

Many 50’s war books are scarce in High Grade. Approved Comics #11 highest grade 7.5 Salida Pedigree.

It failed because majority think romance when you mentioned Matt Baker. Baker is much more then Romance books. I started collecting Baker Romance books, ones I discover other books I switched my thinking. Sold mostly all my romance books. collectors are starting look for other Baker non-Romance books. You or Ron start a non romance Baker thread, everyone will start posting.

my 5 books got TBagged.

we need a second thread non-Romance Baker. so much material available.

Also that All-Picture Adventure #1 Baker War books are hard to find over midgrade. Fightin marines Started to climb in value.

Explanation Anthony’s comics.

Wally cover?

Agree

selling all my CGC Marvel keys way back in 2010-12. easily over $100k in value now.

Thanks David I did purchase this piece from you here on boards years back. sure looks like a tryout strip. Wonder whose pencils? early 50’s strip.

Hello anyone knows who's this artist pencils. By the themed will be early 50’s comic strip. Strip looks well rendered. Smooth lines. looks professional work. New strip on the works never published!!!!

Thanks for sharing simply mind boggling to see those prices. That Baker War Romance run for $62 bucks ps Many collectors/dealers still didn’t know who Matt Baker was in 2000 when I started buying his books and art.

The joy when you add a book or art from your want list.

Yes Agree 100%

To be more specific about the 10k minimum value for consignment, was related to a GA showcase auction. HA spending time and resources to focus on a particular artist only they needed at least $10k in value. Which some GA artist books & artwork can easily reach hundreds in value.

Toes included

Yes there’s a lot of non-romance great artwork by Matt Baker.

This book has benefit from Baker prices jump. What will be the impact going forward knowing is not Baker cover at all. will it take a value hit?

Agree, doesn’t look Baker to me. More like trying to ape his style. Definitely not Baker inks look at the guy holding gun bad inking. Female face also doesn’t look Baker. This is 1948! Baker joined St John late 1948. Baker rarely ink, but when he did it’s was a very smooth hand, not heavy inks. Really early was inking Alex Blum pencils. Also ink several Flamingo strips.

on my last HA consignment, I was told they needed 10 grand.

so, this also applies the rest of the platforms. Like mercari,poshmark,whatnot? thanks
