JvR11 Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 One of my favorite Baker covers.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JvR11 Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 I kind of like these two... Two chart toppers! Bumble Kitty, I'm starting to think you may be number one in the Baker Club. Great copies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Love Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 You don't see this one come up often for sale. The highest graded...the ONLY graded...Teen-Age Diary Secrets 9. Not often seen is right, more like never! And that is one heck of a nicely presenting 4.0. Graded back in '08 - was that your submit, Joanna? Those chuckleheads in Sarasota can't seem to keep these titles straight btw. It's Teen-Age Diary Secrets, of course, not Diary Secrets. And to add insult to injury, it is a Baker cover for which cgc didn't credit him on the label. The only Baker cover of the run for this 6 issue title. True, it's not an original cover - it's a blowup of an interior panel. Don't ask me from which story though. For that we'd need to have an open copy of the book. Anyone? Also, interestingly enough, this issue is an all Baker reprint, 68 big pages in a little digest format, and it's an exact reprint page for page of Teen-Age Diary Secrets #7.

Dr. Love Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I posted this I think a couple years ago but here is my WR run. That is one sweet full run, 18 for 18, man oh man. A labor of love, as we all know too well. If I'm dreaming, don't wake me up.

Sqeggs Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I posted this I think a couple years ago but here is my WR run. Whoa! What a great set of books! Every one of them looks like it may be among the best copies around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only Baker cover of the run for this 6 issue title. Granted, St John made things confusing with the Blue Ribbon/Diary Secrets/Teen-Age Diary Secrets naming but CGC plays such a key role in the hobby these days that it's a shame they won't take the pains to get these things right. A key problem is that it screws up the census. Remember the misspelled CL 25 from a couple of months ago? There are problems with other titles as well. The pre-WDC&S Mickey Mouse Magazine is all bollixed up on the census. I picked up one a few months ago in a CLink auction. It was supposed to be the only graded copy in the census ... except that it wasn't once you figured out that other copies had been misnamed on the census. End of Back on point: Wonderful copy of a book I have never seen. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 One of my favorite Baker covers.. I agree. Nice copy of a tough book. All the CL covers are great. I was lucky to pick up a VG copy of CL 26 pretty cheap a few months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every one of them looks like it may be among the best copies around. It's a mixed bag of grades. The most difficult that I found was WR3. The copy I have is a detached cover.

I know Tomorrow's Treasures had (has) a copy but I think there are seal tears in the interior so it wouldn't get a blue label. I did have this slabbed. It is the same interior of 7. I don't recall which St. John issue this panel originally appeared in. I once photographed it but neglected to mark it or remember which original issue this story was from. I also have 7 which I got from a fellow board member. Also, I think there was a thread once going where we were trying to figure out the digests. I think what happened with these is that the digests were not a hit so they had a bunch of stock left over from 7 and just stapled a new cover for 9. Recycle and reuse!

Every one of them looks like it may be among the best copies around. It's a mixed bag of grades. The most difficult that I found was WR3. The copy I have is a detached cover. I'm missing that one (and several others). Most of them seem pretty scarce, with the possible exception of 18. That has only two slabbed copies, but there seem to be low-grade raw copies around. 3, 9, 12, 15, and 16 all have just one slabbed copy. I'll hazard a guess that you may have one of the few -- perhaps, the only -- complete set. (Although Dr. Love and Bumble Kitty, among others, have some great books up their sleeves!)

Sqeggs Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Kind of odd that CGC doesn't acknowledge it's a Baker cover. I'm very far away from completing my Baker St. John set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
