cl26_CGC_zpsac041b0e.jpgI bought this one from a boardie about three years ago... (it's a 6.0)... and he told me about the collection it came from... apparently, some of the other Bakers from this collection had been sold to actor Thomas (The Punisher) Jane, by the boardie, himself.  Kinda cool... the Punisher actor digs Baker.

Thomas Jane is on a sci-fi show right now, can't remember the name. His character just got killed off. Plenty of time to hunt down Bakers. He didn't need this one so you got it?

If I remember the back story right, it was an original owner who let out his collection a little at a time, to three or four buyers (of which the boardie was one).  When some of the books were sold to Thomas Jane, the CL 26 had not yet been released into the wild, so the actor probably never saw this particular book.

Seems every time I win anything it's a strong price. 

I won the last one a couple weeks ago, so I was hoping for an even stronger price for yours.  :)  But congrats on your win!  I'm having a fun time reading the comic.  They weren't kidding when they titled it "Giant" it's got tons of pages.  Based on the stories and ads, the intended buyers of the comic were girls, which kind of makes you wonder about the prostitute cover (and actually I don't think she's a prostitute based on the stories inside, although so far I've only had a chance to scan the stories).

I just realized while thumbing through the book "Matt Baker, The Art of Glamour " that my copy of Teen-Age Romances 32 is the same copy  used on page 161 of the book.

As we wait to see what GCE 12 is going to end up at tonight  -- http://www.ebay.com/itm/232256338494?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT  (1 hour 27 minutes, but who's counting) I wanted to share something I'm really excited about, that I won tonight on Heritage, this Baker cover.  Obviously not romance so I hope everyone will indulge me.

CGC doesn't say so, but I think it's Baker.  Sadly, not a babe in sight, though! :)

I picked up the Southern States copy from DTA a couple of years back.

You got it? 

I forgot, who won the last one that was up?

Indeed. Not the dream copy I've always wanted, but a step in the right direction. Be happy to have a shot some day at the 6.0, 7.0, or the 8.0. Hell even the 4.0 would be worth a peek.

Nice one!  A must have Baker in any grade that you can find.
