Finally some love for these great books. https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/crime/authentic-police-cases-23-st-john-1952-cgc-fn-65-cream-to-off-white-pages/a/122319-13015.s?type=bidnotice-dailystatus Wonder what mine would get? Really like the color scheme on that book. I assume Baker was responsible. May have a gone a bit overboard with the shading in the Punch-Board Profit thumbnail. comicnoir and Chief1332 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you should ever--unaccountably!--have the urge to trade down to a very nice 7.0 + cash you can find me on the street corner under the lamppost. comicnoir, Ricksneatstuff and Yorick 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of a number of Baker covers where he was drawing what he felt like drawing with zero consideration to how appealing the subject matter would be to the book's target audicence of preteen/teen girls. Recently married, stuck with a howling infant, and hubby is heading for greener pastures! What teen dreams are made of! Contrast with the endless covers Colletta did for Atlas with variations on the boy and girl locked in a clinch.

Around 3.0? I wonder if it would be beneficial to replace the staples and get it graded conserved. Probably at least an 8 to 10K book if graded by cgc.

Of course his prefer the staples look better, but if you’ve been after a CL 25 and have the funds you kind of have to buy it. And then wait a year or more to upgrade? If the staples bother you that much. Otherwise it presents well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
