Sqeggs Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Per Chuck's catalog, all three issues of Canteen Kate were in the collection and he graded them all NM+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Baker Wild Boys seem undervalued, although I think all the covers are well done. They would be worth more if they were "Wild Girls". szucchini, Randall Dowling, Yorick and 3 others 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Just shows that you should never doubt @Dr. Love! Looking through Chuck's catalog--which, of course, I should have done before beginning to post about this--shows that there were a lot of Bakers in the Church collection. Looks like Chuck graded about two-thirds NM or so and the rest in the VG/FN range. The latter books Edgar presumably bought used. So, there may well be ungraded raw high-grade Church books or some of the high-grade slabbed Bakers may be unrecognized Church books or maybe some of both. Even more likely that some of the mid-grade books were slabbed without having the ped noted. The WTR 7 I posted earlier was graded NM by Chuck. Of course, it may have knocked about a bit before it was graded. He graded the Hawk 11 as a FN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Edgar had the whole SS run. I used to own the 1, CGC 9.8. Only the covers of the 4 and 6 appeal to me. I did eventually pick up a nice copy of the 5 (not the Church copy) but I think Baker struggles with profiles, and I don't much like that cover.

Presumably it refers to the fact that only the cover was new; the stories being all reprints. Is this the only book on which that disclaimer appears?

Presumably it was ignored, or largely so, because it was a production defect. This book doesn't have the eye appeal of a 7.0, imo.
