    I think we've speculated in the past about whether CL 15 or GCE 12 in high grade (let's say 9.2) would sell for more.  GCE 12 has more crossover appeal to non-romance GGA collectors. 

    Both great covers...I prefer CL 15 over CGE12.  The collage image from CL25 along with the color scheme hits all the right buttons for me. I can't argue any of these 3 books as being the  best of the best.

    CL15 is more overtly sexual and may not be everyone's cup of tea as their Baker example...never-mind, I just heard what I wrote....

    Yep demand is the prime driver for sure... but I think extreme scarcity would raise the cost on lower grades, which I’m hunting for, more than it would on higher grades.  

    Its helpful to know what the long time hunters think when figuring out what my personal max price would be.

    Absolutely agree. Good luck with your search.

    Thanks, trying to get a grasp on what a fair price would be if one ever came available.  Hard to do without much in the way of public sales data...

    Obviously one can infer based from prices of other Bakers it’s gonna cost dearly in any grade.  But I don’t wanna overpay too much if it’s not mad mad rare...

    It's based on demand and demand. I think supply is slightly weighted when it comes to a book like CL 25. Most collectors may agree that this is the most universally appealing Baker book with the avid collector and the  casual collector in search of just one baker example.

    Bought this one was raw (as a 5.5) from Richie M about five years ago.  Finally got it graded.  A bit surprising that it's the only copy on the census.  Kinda like the cover.  Only wish it had been a full cover without the left-hand preview panels.

    My sentiments exactly.

    Well, 3 people liked the example I showed, but didn't say they wanted to see any others...so...I'll show one other anyway... lol  The blue shirt is darker.  the red is a little richer and darker.
