Sqeggs Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I purchased this from MrBedrock at 2014 SDCC. Nice. Bedrock does come up with Bakers every once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Is the U.S. copy scarce or something? I haven't looked at all 300+ pgs of this thread, but do not recall seeing one posted in the time I've been here. Maybe Dr. Love could make a scarcity index for Baker books... I think we did this a year to so ago. At least we compiled a list of scarce Bakers; I don't think we put the list in order of scarcity, though. It's buried somewhere in the thread.

I just wondered because I traded mine about a year ago for another Baker book I wanted more. I should have researched the scarcity of the book more, but I don't think it would make a difference in my decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tri-Color Brian Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) Uh, no...but I will say it was a grail I really wanted for a long time and couldn't find. The grail is probably more common than the TAR, but I don't care... Here, we'll make a game out of it. It was one of these three books. See if you can find it: Edited November 25, 2014 by tricolorbrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBedrock Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I actually got that Superman in 1966 for $7 at Cherokee Bookstore. That is awesome. I would have loved to have been able to go there. The stories I've heard are pretty amazing. The real thing must have been great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tri-Color Brian Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) It was like 10 San Diego Cons all in one little room and hallway. Burt had almost everything, and I had almost no money... Going to Cherokee on a Saturday was as exciting as going to Disneyland. The current market, with slabs and really high prices and focus on condition has really taken a lot of fun out of the hobby for me (and a lot of money out of my pocket). I know this is off topic, but out of all the Cherokee books I own, the only 2 in my sig line are Supes 17 and 23. I always wanted a 24, but was afraid to take the one in the bag on the outside of the box. I thought the ref. books on the boxes were off limits or something (I was only 13). I ended up finally buying one in 1993 for $400. Ouch... Edited November 26, 2014 by tricolorbrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickamabob Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I recently found this UK version of a Baker romance comic, called Teen-Age Romance #8. It's one of those comics where the interior artwork is not in color, and it's only half as long as a regular comic. But I sitll think it's pretty cool. The cover artwork looks like a B&W Baker panel or splash that was not-so-delicately inked by somebody else. (?) Anybody collect these UK versions of St. John comics? I'd like to see some other ones.
