    5 Simple Rules (Please, please read) 1st wins; tie/indeterminate goes to the thread. Payment is Check or Money Order (yeah, yeah I know I'm a dinosaur, troglodyte, luddite, mennonite, hermaphrodite etc. - I just don't have or want e-payments.) Shipping: Via USPS; $8 USPS Priority shipping for raws, until the stack requires a medium box, then it’s $15. (Combo stacks of regular-size comics, magazines, treasuries, slabbed books, etc will be at most affordable Priority shipping that allows me to pack safely.)

    You Might Find It! (Cheap!) Gonna price all but a few exceptions as low as I can, between low end of FMV to downright cheap/upside down in many cases. I mean hey, the boards are dead, the hobby is dead, yadda yadda yadda, right? When does doom and gloom get its own sub-forum around here? If there’s really a cricket infestation, we’re gonna find out with this thread. But first….

    While I just let this go, it’s not seen often so I’ll bump this thread with it and make sure we have an image of this one around here somewhere.

    Glad to see this one going to a great home and a great boardie who will house it among its kind Thank you again, Rick. Gang, I was going to start a long and assorted thread but I did not want this rarity lost in there. I’ll get a fun mix going in G/S/B shortly (as in soon but not tonight), but this book deserved its own thread. I hope everyone enjoyed seeing it, as it’s a great example of Baker’s work. We often think of Baker for his sexy, sultry women, but his late-run TAR covers have a few examples of a real romantic sweetness, such as this one. But #45 may still be my favorite. I hope to land one some day, but I think William has every copy extant @Comcav

    SOLD! One book tonight, and it is a tough one — Teen-Age Romances #41, a late-run, late pre-code issue. Sweet, sweet Baker cover. Only comp out there is a rough but complete copy on eBay missing parts of the image area from what looks like tape peels, and that ask is $425 plus shipping. No comps in HA archives. There’s six copies on census, topped by a pair of 5.5’s. There’s also a pair of 4.0’s, a 3.5 and a 3.0 to round it out. This one presents 4.0 at a glance in a Mylar, with a strong image area. But there’s spine splitting between the staples (both are attached) and a pair of extra staples. I can’t tell if they were added or factory error, as they don’t appear to serve a purpose. I’m giving it a technical grade of 2.5 or 3.0 on the spine splitting and the odd staples. (2.5 would be my number if I could say they are added; 3.0 if I could be certain they are factory error.) it’s solid enough to read, and the cover looks like a VG book laying there. $800 shipped within U.S.

    Thanks! It was one of those cases where they were put in front me when I wasn’t expecting it, but I realized within 20 seconds (it was actually a 7-book stack, four Jungles too) what I would be doing. Came from the personal collection of a dealer I know, from a collection he had bought. I can’t recall if he said it was an original owner that he bought from, but I can ask. Always nice to know and pass along provenance on Golden Age books.
