Dr. Love Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 My CL group shot. And your collection came to mind as well. Joanna, Ron, Rick, John, and that new kid Tony have had a presence in this thread from the beginning - big time Baker fans with great books. A lot of collectors dabble and have outstanding mini-runs, which given the scarcity and comparative cost has been a great way to approach St John romance. There aren't that many committed completionists, though. That's a long long term collecting goal. Also a shout out to my friend Bumble Kitty who rarely posts but believe me has put together a fantastic collection as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tri-Color Brian Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I would say I am one of the ones who "dabble", because my focus has always been on just the covers I like...but if the book is inexpensive enough I'll buy just about any Baker in VG or better condition... I would think this rule applies to most owners of Baker romance, so kudos to those die-hards that want all of them, and have accomplished that goal. It isn't an easy one...or did you already say that, Dr.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was friends with Joanna on ebay as she was bidding against me so often. Back then you could communicate with other bidders. Then Steve (eccomic) sent me a link to the BR thread. I mentioned this to Joanna who went " Ron, I'm Jvr11. That's my thread." I then joined the boards. I've gotten some nice books as a result of coming here. And made some great friends.

It's too bad Joanna rarely stops by this thread any more. I'm not even sure she still collects Baker. I still remember (I should because it wasn't that long ago! ) buying my first Baker -- Crippen copy of TAT 1 from Dr. Love. And thus the addiction began!

Dr. Love Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Love this one. Remember the Dale Roberts Ebay slabbed Baker blowout? Squarebound goodness. Good thing for me Sqeggs already had his 6.5 - otherwise it would have cost me (or him) a bit more. As it was, I just nudged out Bumble Kitty. Maybe we should have formed that collective that Brian urged us to do a while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lucky to track down a raw copy that graded a shade better than I had expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29dukedog Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Terrific books! That True Love Pictorial 5 has proven to be one tough book to find in any kind of decent grade. Don't think I've ever seen one much better than Fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29dukedog Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 What the heck... might as well post a few more that aren't seen too often... BTW, if anyone has a nice TR 45, I'd sure love to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
