I generally go for the lower grade Bakers - but this one with a double cover seemed like the time to splurge. I couldn't find any previous listings of it anywhere - so I figured it wouldn’t last a day on the Bay I'll likely be offering it for trade in December once I better organize my books (and I'm still getting used to the new layout of the boards after being away from it for a year) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29dukedog Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 After marveling at sagii's fantastic find last week, I half-heartedly decided to go looking for a copy, myself... (all the while thinking, "Yeah, right- what are the odds?") But sometimes lightning strikes twice. This came from a site that always has tons of GA, but just listings- no scans. Otherwise, I doubt the book would've still been there at all. comicnoir and Ricksneatstuff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes a bit of work bet well worth the payoff. Not as nice as yours, but I recently got a copy from Lone Star szucchini 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
