Sqeggs Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Anyone see this one before? Apparently published in 1946. Art by Baker and Alex Blum. I don't see it listed in Baker checklists. I've known about it for a long time... I think Joanna first made me aware of it, and I'm pretty sure she turned one up, herself... it's probably not listed anywhere because it's technically a children's book, not a comic book or magazine. Actually, I'm wrong. I missed it the first time, but it is included in the checklist in The Art of Glamour book. It's on p. 95 (for those who have the book) under "Magazine and Book Illustrations." I recently bought, but haven't yet received, a bound set of the Manhunt magazines. Apparently, Baker worked on this magazine right around the time he was splitting from St. John. It doesn't seem clear, though, exactly which illustrations are his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The illo reproduced in The Art of Glamour book looks quite Bakerish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Strong price on the Diary Secrets 18 last night. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Head's up on the MyComicShop's APC 18 listing on eBay. Decent price for what appears to be a reasonable copy of a tough book (a Gerber 8). Checking the listing for that book on their site reveals the additional info that "Cover attached with glue at bottom staple." This info isn't given in the eBay listing. I think MCS has locked themselves into a template in their eBay listings with the result that they sometimes end up not disclosing pertinent info that's given in the listings on their site.

comicnoir Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 That listing has been up for awhile. Thankfully most ebayers seasoned enough to be interested in books like this read the entire listing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 That listing has been up for awhile. Thankfully most ebayers seasoned enough to be interested in books like this read the entire listing. Reading the whole eBay listing won't do you any good, though, since the glued cover is only mentioned in the listing on the MCS site. It's not mentioned in the eBay listing, unless I'm overlooking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicnoir Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 You are over-looking it. This is copied and pasted from the ad. Grade: VG+ 4.5 Cover attached with glue at bottom staple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 You are over-looking it. This is copied and pasted from the ad. Grade: VG+ 4.5 Cover attached with glue at bottom staple. It's certainly there now -- and highlighted in yellow. I'm positive it wasn't there before. The book was relisted a couple of days ago after first being listed a month or so ago. I'll speculate that they received it back after the buyer spotted the glue. Either that or I'm going blind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Here's a weird St. John digest. It appears to have a Baker story inside. Is this a Baker cover? Only one I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think MCS has locked themselves into a template in their eBay listings with the result that they sometimes end up not disclosing pertinent info that's given in the listings on their site. The item was won in our November 2014 auction, and the "Cover attached with glue at bottom staple." note was already on the item at that time: November auction listing: http://www.mycomicshop.com/search?ItemID=26443247 The winning bidder chose to consign the item rather than having it shipped to him, and that consigned item is what you're seeing now on our web site and on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Authentic-Police-Cases-1948-18-VG-4-5-/311322060823?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item487c3da817 http://www.mycomicshop.com/search?ItemID=26961794 Any item notes that are shown on our web site will also be included when we create a new eBay listing.

The item was first listed for sale January 19, has gone through two 30 day ebay listings since then, and has not been ordered by anyone in that time.
