Can someone explain what's going on in this cover to me, please? I'm trying to figure out if last night's guy is jealous or if he is giving a more innocent warning. Would help to know what "rolled me" means I guess...

So, counting all WR #17 issues I know of:

 

2 Crippens

2 graded CGCs

1 owned by an annonymous boardie

1 owned by me

2 owned by 29Dukedog

1 high grade Gerber issue

1 owned by BB-Gun

1 owned by Rick Starr

 

That makes 11 known WR #17s...so far. Who else has one?

 

This may not turn out to be such a rare book after all... (shrug)

Are you interested in counting this one? (One could assume, since there's a scan, there was probably an actual comic book, too.)

I think it's one of the Crippen copies.

You know...you can contribute any scan of a pedigree book you see...it doesn't have to be yours... :gossip: But check Matt's listings before you do...so you don't duplicate anything for nuthin'. I uploaded 40 scans in the last couple days, just for giggles and to watch my contributor totals rise... :roflmao: I consider it charity work.

Toughest issue of Diary Secrets? Pictorial Romances? Teen-Age Romances?

 

Thoughts? Opinions? Contributions?

 

Here are my votes:

 

Toughest Diary Secrets (the 10-30 run, I mean): 13

 

Pictorial Romances: 23, hands down, followed by 14.

 

Teen-Age Romances: Probably 45

Leads me to wonder how many Bakers there are with fewer than 10 known copies. We would have to guess, of course, because there are many Bakers with fewer than 10 copies in the CGC census. We can reasonably suspect, though, that there are more than 10 raw copies of most of those.

 

So far, we have

 

Diary Secrets nn

All-Picture All-True Love Story 2

 

What about:

 

GCE 12

Romance Confession Stories

Record Book of Famous Police Cases (dubious about this one)

 

I'm probably forgetting some obvious candidates ....

 

All-True All-Picture Police Cases #2

Yes, that one's up there. I can recall seeing about four copies over the years, so I'd guess it's tied for second place on the above list.

I sold one on the boards a few years back ( VG-). Great cover, but I don't think that it's rare so much as held on to.

Each of us will probably have differences on the HTF issues. I know that I hardly ever see Baker romance books at conventions. The rare occasion was when Harley Yee came up with a bunch years and years ago. Most of my pickups were through Ebay and auction houses,Comicconnect in particular.

My toughest Diary Secrets, the previous mentioned 8 and 9, of course, but also

11 and 26.

Teen.Romances 10,11,23, 35,41,45

True Love Pict. 7,9

WTR 13, 14 I acquired my 17 quickly, upgraded it to my current copy, sold off the other.

Heads up! There's a pretty nice Teen-Age Romances 39 on eBay with a $150. BIN, just listed about an hour ago. I'm so tempted to buy it, myself... I already have a pretty nice copy, so I don't need it... I'm hoping somebody else grabs it quick and removes temptation from my path.
