Honestly, I'm happy your doing what you do and I wish you well. I hope lots of people your age are into comics. Its good for all of us. If a mistake was made I will take you at your word. My advice is to be open, honest, transparent and non-confrontational. You know this is Dylan, right? In other threads he is the antithesis of all those things. Also, why is he posting here? Shouldn’t he be knee-deep in litigation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just didn't want to start another one of those discussions. Maybe my effort was futile. The Lions Den 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even BLISSARD doesn't do interior pics. It sickens to be the blindness of so many comic book people. Just because CGC or anyone for that matter calls it a 6.0 doesn't mean it is a 6.0. Baker did a bunch of art that he was not credited for and I believe this is one of them. Just because it says Matt Baker, doesn't mean it was ACTUALLY matt baker, and vice versa. Where did our thinking caps go? I would buy a book from Blizzard even without photos. He knows how to grade fairly and knows and loves comics. Your book has a Baker “look” to it but isn’t. Probably vastly overgraded as well. Don’t believe everything you read on the internet. You are young so it’s to be expected. Nothing wrong with that. We all started out the same. It is how you embrace and deal with the collector community that will determine your success or failure. So far, you have been striking out. A new batting stance might help...

Yorick Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 There are plenty of ebayers that use "Baker" as a means of drawing attention. In this instance, I cannot see Baker through all that Colletta. Thoughts? The Lions Den 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Love Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 No Baker. The seller should kick back some of the $ if it sells to Nick Caputo, who is the only editor who sees Baker possibly on the last story. None of the others (Becattini or Vadeboncoeur) do. The seller is disingenuous in the listing. "Baker art listed on Grand Comics Database, shame Coletta provided the inks, but Baker art shines through". It is listed on GCD but with the credit as questionable, Baker?, and to say Baker art shines through...well, liar liar pants on fire.

If it started as Baker art, it ended up with so much bad Coletta inking that Matt's finesse has been totally destroyed. If you collect Baker for the beauty of his art, you'd never buy this book.

sagii Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Not ones i 'see' Baker in, but others that i do that GCD calls for Baker. Some have strong Colletta hallmarks, and some do not. A few Charlton and Atlas ones out there that have Baker hallmarks from the profiles of the women, the layout/placement of the covers figures, and Baker seemed to do a lot of crying women on these covers (a recurring theme on them. Coincidence?). The art on the cover matches the art on the interiors and everyone seems to agree they are Baker interiors but question the covers. Either way, i totally agree with who ever at GCD second guessed these as Colleta's that are probably Bakers he 'over flourished' (I still love you guys and don't mind the strong disagreements ) szucchini and Yorick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also strongly believe Baker ghosted for Vince Colletta specially those late books Atlas & Charlton 1958-1960. work published late 1959 early 1960 after his death. sagii, comicnoir and Dylan. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
