  1. That big crease on the upper right corner really drags down the value. I'll take it off your hands for $100.
  2. Don't know about the other models, but I've been very happy with the HP ScanJet 8300 that I found on eBay a couple of years ago. It was "new old stock" still in the box, never opened or used. With VueScan software, it's been doing a great job on slabs, sometimes with a bit of glare, but not bad.
  3. In poring over The Art of Glamour more carefully, I noticed a THIRD example of surviving Matt Baker cover original art. Page 107 shows the lower portion of the cover art for Authentic Police Cases #35, with a notation that it was found in Baker's files.
  4. Oops! Forgot about that one. It's even on page 43 of The Art of Glamour.
  5. This is the only surviving Matt Baker cover OA that I am aware of. Has anyone else ever seen Baker cover OA?
  6. This is one "Baker" cover I have not yet purchased, and I may never. To me, it looks more like Chuck Miller, who drew eyebrows in such a way that characters appear to be constantly surprised. Miller did quite a bit of "Bakerish" (but substandard) art for St. John. Perhaps this is Baker inking Miller or vice versa.
  7. Great catch! And it's not noted in either Overstreet or The Art of Glamour.
  8. You are correct, sir! Glamour does indeed credit both to Baker.
  9. We don't need no stinking badges...OAFCON admission is FREE. (You probably will need to stop off for a name tag at the table out front, though.)
  10. First of all, major congrats on your near-complete collection! There are many of us here who will celebrate for you when you get that last book. As for the 3.5...it's probably the tape. The highest grade in which tape is specifically mentioned in the OS grading guide is 3.0.
  11. Show the MATT BAKER splash page for Mitzi at the Movies, and I bet someone grabs this book!
  12. This one's done! Thanks to all who purchased, kicked tires or just took a look.
  13. Mister Mystery #13 10%+ DISCOUNT -- was $315...NOW is $280 FINAL PRICE OF THIS THREAD. IT'S THE GORIEST BOOK I OWN, SO I DON'T MIND KEEPING IT AROUND FOR AWHILE. This sales thread will officially close Sunday afternoon.
