Dr. Love Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Really, Sagii, with an undercopy to help offset the purchase, I'd shoot for the stars on the 7.5 - and that looks like a mighty tight 7.5 too, hot off the slab press. I had forgotten that the 5.5 is a Nancy book too, as far as I'm concerned and have often expressed, a genuine OO romance ped. Maybe the only true romance ped, as the others were somewhat indiscriminate in their taste. Over/under at 10K? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Was this copy previously in a PGX slab? I’ll say it closes at $7,500 (with BP). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Good point. I had forgotten that missing chunk. Maybe a 5.0 if graded by CGC? Here's Nancy's old copy. 29dukedog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Love Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 notes are on me, boys like I said - that's one tight 7.5. And the colors are exceptional. Either you guys are off or I'm going to be the proud new owner at $7500 - with BP. I have been known to lead with my mouth, though, wallet to follow sometimes, not always! medium stain right top of back cover small stain right bottom of back cover very light wear top of front cover breaks color very small crease right bottom of front cover breaks color very small crease top of front cover breaks color very small staple tear bottom of spine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I assume the medium stain on the back cover is the one near the model's left hand. I think that they must have eased up a bit on stains for this book to have received a 7.5. Smaller stains than that have been resulting in big point deductions.

My Baker collection is comprised of Non St. John Romance books ( it was the option to have him rrepresented in my collection without taking on another pricey run/subset on my plate. For me, it is THE Baker St. John Romance cover to have ifI was going to make the one exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otherworldsj331 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 I'm guessing over $7,500. Should be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domuhnator Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 (edited) Fresh back from cgc! I had plans to keep this one but I owe an auction house a Fairly significant sum of money. So Ill probably have to throw it up on the selling block. Does $2500OBO sound fair to you guys? Next to no sales data and I got a pretty good deal on it (I think).

Such a nice, bright copy, with good pq, of a classic that $2,500 sounds low. If it were me, I'd auction it and let the chips fall where they may. But if you want to guard against a low result, then I guess a BIN is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psychologically BIN's can work against you. I've seen many BIN's not sell, then go for more at auction. What a great cover. Very interested in what you eventually get because the sales data is scarce on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Would be Happy with $2500 but if it does for more that would be awesome. Ill probably try selling it here first and then go the auction route. 13 hours ago, comicnoir said: Psychologically BIN's can work against you.
