Is there a better non-CGC recognized pedigree than the New Hampshire collection? The census on this one is a bit unusual. Only three graded copies: two 9.2s and a 5.0. I can account for the 5.0...

Popular Post Sqeggs Posted July 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2019 Struggled to upgrade my 3.5 copy (bought raw six years ago). So far, this is the best I've been able to do. Scratches are on the slab. Point Five, pmpknface, MBFan and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just couldn't get in the same room with Bakers and LB Cole is even worse. I'm "on vacation" with them for a while. Been working on other books that are obtainable and fairly priced. By the way, is the Texan a "New Hampshire"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you'll eventually track them down. Maybe the toughest to find is the Texan 3D. I can't seem to find a scan of my copy. It's a VGish raw. Never seen a high-grade copy and there are no copies on the census. I don't even see it listed on GCD, although it may be there somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been actively buying Bakers since 1992 but that easily beats any Baker finds I have had over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
