manetteska Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I know this isn't the WTB thread, but I will probably reach more of my audience this way. I am looking for Baker post-code issues. If anyone has any doubles, leads (outside of auction houses), etc. it would be greatly appreciated. Chief1332 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there are post code issues.. is there an abundance, or lots, or several, or few..? To be more specific, I am looking for St. John post-code. I'd say there are several, though they don't show up often compared to the pre-code work. There are also covers he did for other publishers which are - generally - more common. And I'm sure someone will more knowledge will show up to fix mistakes/assumptions I've made.

PeterPark Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 But is there a cinderella love 25-like image in the saturday evening post? Because Thisavros has at least two images thus far that have been used by or had something to do with Baker. It still may not be the post that inspired him but the Greek magazine after all...New York is clearly a Metropolitan city and maybe he walked by a diverse newsstand on his way to work. Or made it his work to stop by there and see what images gave him ideas from all around the world. And maybe borrowing from a magazine in another language made it less likely to be seen as a swipe?

Love the handling of the lady and the car so much. (OK, the guy's all right too.) Such a cheerful cover. Thanks to a kind boardie for letting this one go. Mine too. Probably in my top 5 Bakers. Such a flirty cover in such a ‘50’s wholesome way. One turned up here in a board sale a couple years ago. @Ricksneatstuff beat me to it. Man, I was bummed. But God bless Rick. He quickly turned up another copy and sold me his undercopy for exactly what he paid for it. Still grateful Rick. It’s locked up safely in my collection! sagii, Yorick, comicjack and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion not a great Baker example or one of the better Texan covers. But I guess there's a woman in a dress/skirt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
