Let me know how it comes out. It was somewhere around a 4.0 too wasn't it? Very structurally sound as I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorick Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I have a 4.0 too! The header was miscut in production, but the CGC label says the interior was miscut. Oops. Ricksneatstuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost looks as though the cover is too short for the rest of the book ... or the rest of the book is too big for the cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. The header was cut off the top of the cover only. I don't understand how that could happen with the interior not being cut down as well, but there was no manipulation of the single staple holding it all together (as if the cover had been married or something). We all know that St John did some interesting rebinding.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricksneatstuff Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Well, it is odd to be selling a copy of a book on eBay and then buy a higher graded much pricier copy of the same book but when I saw the colors and the spine on Wartime Romances 6 I had to have it.

As another boardie pointed out to me, those books were listed by the dealer who brought the Sixth Street books to market. I contacted him and they are from another collection, not Sixth Street. Still a very nice copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think the ones I picked would last very long so I snapped them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Doc! Yeah, I emailed with him after and he said he was torn about selling them at all. I can relate to that. Planets, certain Bakers, most Feldstein. That seems to be where my affections are settling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point Five Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 That Wartime Romances #9 cover is fantastic. I was drooling when I saw it pop up on ebay... never noticed that one before. Ricksneatstuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29dukedog Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 WR #6 is complete by Baker except for an eight page story, and it's some of his best work. He really went the extra mile on this title, possibly because he had strong feelings about the war and felt the subject deserved his very best efforts. And the blonde on that cover is truly smokin'. One of his smokin'est. Ricksneatstuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
