Sqeggs Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 There's a 7.5 in the census now? Really? I didn't know that. Ok, so up to possibly six copies, by my count. Although perhaps the 7.5 is one of the five. Too bad it hasn't been sold because that would be a way of determining (through a GPA link) when it was graded. Or is there another way?

I'm certain that I checked the census for both issues of this title last year, and there were still no copies of #2. It had to have been graded within the past 12 months, probably less.

Tri-Color Brian Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Here's that article: Wow, the auction "went thru the roof" and that rare book ended up costing...$220? I guess those really were the days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is a site that tracks changes to the census but I've forgotten what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Speaking of Bakers with mature couples, this is one of my favorites and one of his least representative covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torontodesignguy Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Agreed this is one of my favourites as well - articulates beyond the typical storyline - and age range - and was far ahead of its time. Is there a list that indicates who the writer is on this one? - and of course... very nice copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a list that indicates who the writer is on this one? - and of course... very nice copy. Unfortunately, this one has only a Baker cover. (Although one story is by Murphy Anderson!) Checking GCD, none of the writers is known. Not unusual, of course, with these books. Dana Dutch is the only writer of St John books that I can recall seeing identified. Most of his attributions are inferences since I don't believe he was explicitly credited on many (any?) stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JvR11 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 It's so nice this thread continues on I was looking through old photographs and came across this one. This had to be my ultimate "Baker" find. It came from an auction where they were all in one box. Can you imagine? This was quite a few years ago but a find I'll never forget.

JvR11 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 I may have shared this before but I thought it was an interesting piece of history. Matt Baker was said to have referred to Andrew Loomis for inspiration. This is an image from an Andrew Loomis book and very much looks like the running lady on True Love Pictorial 10.
