Admittedly, besides EC Comics, GA isn't my bag. I appreciate the era and it's history and creators, but I prefer comics characteristic of my youth.

And I'm not sure if I even heard of Baker until my return to the hobby a few years back. Heck, it might've been @Funnybooks profile pic that initially turned me on to him.

Anyways, whether this is the start of a love affair (I understand his draw), I thought my collection ought to have an example of Baker's work in it.

It's only the start........great choice for your first Baker

Reveal hidden contents

Thanks to @Point Fivefor his advice last week when I was thinking about purchasing this book. And although I found it's contents online to read (https://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=21657), it'll be out of the slab and in Mylar by weekend's end.

It's going to be tough to get a lot of good responses, because the biggest barrier for you is shipping to Switzerland. Very few books from that era (95 to 261) are of any particular interest, #107 maybe, and so have been seen in discount bins for ages. With enough time and effort, you could probably get almost all of them for $2 each or less, but that doesn't help you get them to Switzerland. Basically, I'm saying you should also consider alternative costs for these issues. Do you think it's possible to get this many for this price or less?

I spent a long time filling runs, like post-crisis Flash, Green Lantern, Detective, Batman, and today wish I hadn't wasted the effort. I'd rather have one $100 comic than 100 $1 comics.

My vote would be, read the comics on a digital platform and ignore the bulk.

see the first reply to this post....says it all

you may be able to salvage the defect with a good press if the pieces are still present from the impact and they can be re-approximated.
Assuming the impact has caused loss of paper, no better than "fine/vf" range. Better if re-approximated.

I got an impenetrable slab last week. Remembering the hammer trick; suggested, I used one to break a bottom post - it took the whole corner off, then I could start with a screwdriver to free the inner well and label.

you're like an evolved reptile...like those found on the show V :cheers:

but, seriously....take a hammer to the top left and right edges by the label...easily cracks the corners without harm to the book. Very east to pry the case apart thereafter with your hands.

place a towel underneath the slab between the floor and the slab
