OtherEric Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Listed in Overstreet as Baker, but not on the Grand Comics Database. A quick look and none of the stories scream Baker, although that could be the code changes. Anybody know for sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtherEric Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Still, definitely got some real Baker today at ECCC, even if the Love Secrets 55 was mislabeled. Normally wouldn't have grabbed the brittle 101, but for $3 I'll work with it! pmpknface 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought I read somewhere that this stamp means this book is an actual in house file/reference copy used by Dell or their printer? Anyone know if that's accurate? Yes, that’s a file copy. Nice one! szucchini 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPark Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 The more I think about it, the more I think Diary Secrets combined with Teen-Age Diary Secrets and Blue Ribbon and the nn issue is the hardest Baker St. John run to complete. Any thoughts on what the ranking of runs would be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts on what the ranking of runs would be? I'm not sure I would lump those all together. Blue Ribbon with those funny animal issues doesn't jive with the romance (and I hate the #2 cover). I've always focused on "runs" as the GCD labels them. Having said that, photo covers was never my thing and I didn't pursue the Teen-age Diary Secrets issues. I would say with the Marilyn issue and the pocket sized issues that you'd have a tough time finishing that set (Marilyn only because its expensive...). As for the Diary Secrets, the NN issue is pretty scarce and is one of three I would need to complete that run (if you consider the NN as part of the run). Diary Secrets is definitely a tough one to assemble. Do you also consider Going Steady as part of the Teen-age Temptations set? And what was Romantic Marriage a continuation of? It seems to me that the toughest run would be All-Picture All-True Love Story. It all depends on the books you decide to include in your "runs".

PeterPark Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I group romantic marriage with cinderella love and I do group teen-age temptations with going steady. I don't count the funny animal covers but I don't see a change in name with a similar format as the end of a run...but I don't count cinderella love 13 as part of it either. I'm only concerned with the Baker covers or interiors but I have it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorick Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 It would probably be easier to list individual issues that are tough rather than runs. Certain issues even within "easy" runs may be tough to find. The last issue of TAR comes to mind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
