Sqeggs Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Just curious how many Baker romance collectors on this thread own Matt Baker OA?? None for me. I've bid on a few but never won any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Just curious how many Baker romance collectors on this thread own Matt Baker OA?? I own two Baker Flamingo strips. Do you have these two or did you find some more? I picked up the scan from the auction site, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Hard to believe that there is only one copy of this one on the census and it's a 0.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to believe anyone would send in a 0.5 I was thinking that same thing. I wonder if the submitter didn't notice it was missing a centerfold or that it had some other secret sorrow.

Sqeggs Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Slowly filling in this run. This is a tough issue, I think. Only a 5.5 on the census. Baker manages to include a woman in red, even here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baker manages to include a woman in red, even here. I've come to the conclusion that just because there are few on the census doesn't mean anything with these books. People just don't send them in. Most of my Bakers are raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until recently, only high-grade copies were probably worth the expense of grading. Still, there clearly seems to be a high variance in the availability of different issues. Probably attributable to St. John's erratic distribution. I wonder whether some of them -- possibly including this issue -- even exist in high grade.

Tri-Color Brian Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) Just found this in a local Phoenix comic shop. G-...$5...I couldn't resist, even though the book is a piece of garbage with all that tape on the cover...now the question is-should I put it in a mylar?

Craig Listing them here is helpful -- at least to me. Have you considered listing them in the sales thread on these boards? Has the advantage of avoiding eBay fees.

Tri-Color Brian Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) Yes, list them here and in the sales thread, and show us scans! However, be aware that there are people like me who will not buy an encapsulated book...no matter what it is...unless it's really cheap. Because then, I will take it out of that holder and put it in a mylar where it belongs... I don't care as much about actual grades as I do about eye appeal.
