MB1952 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) anyone want buy color copies>> color copies wow "These Color Cover Copies are in new condition, not glossy, but clean, printed on ordinary office paper, the image sharpness varies a bit depending on the original file resolution, but all copies are unflawed, meaning no marks, smears, creases, etc. on the copy. If the original cover had a crease, then the copy has that too, but almost all these examples are from nice higher grade books. Printed on an HP6280."

Sqeggs Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I'm not sure I get it. Are those his copies of the books or has he lifted scans from somewhere? A tribute to Baker's popularity, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Is the cover of Saint 4 actually by Baker? That's a new one on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RICK STARR Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Saint # 4 was in question years back whether it is Baker. I was under the impression by the "experts" it is not a Baker cover. What is the source material that it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBFan Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 The cover of The Saint #4 is not credited to Matt Baker in Overstreet or The Art of Glamour. To me, it looks only slightly Baker-ish. From what I can tell, Matt Baker never did any work for Avon, who published The Saint. It's risky to trust what you see on the internet about Baker. Here's a site where an author has included the cover of The Saint #4 in a collection of "samples from Matt Baker's career". http://www.tallguysgearguide.com/my-blog/2012/12/matt-baker-the-art-of-glamour.html The cover of Zip Jet #1 is also shown, and it is DEFINITELY not Baker's work.

What is the source material that it is? In the May HA auction, there is a copy that has the notation on the label. As MBFan notes, The Art of Glamour checklist doesn't list it as by Baker.

I wonder who convinced them to include the Baker notation on the label? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I haven't seen so much Baker books on eBay them this year. coming out of the woodwork. Yep. I think the high prices being realized are causing sellers to list them. Btw, did you see the two pieces of FH Baker OA on Heritage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerber lists it as Baker, but now after looking at Lubbers' covers I might tend to agree that it isn't Baker. I always based my belief on the way the clothing folds and wrinkles were drawn. I thought that was a Baker trademark, but I now see that Lubbers did the same thing... CRUD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
