Dale Roberts Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Yeah, the Cookeville books... I don't think they were ever a pedigree, were they? I mean pedigrees that at one time were recognized by CGC and appeared on labels, but that no longer do. The collection was split at the time of purchase. I am not sure it would have qualified. I don't believe it was ever recorded in a complete list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29dukedog Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 For a long time, there has been some debate over this cover; is it by Baker, or not? I've finally figured it out. Below is a Baker panel from Teen-Age Temptations #8, which came out about two years prior to the Secrets of Love and Marriage. Obviously, the Charlton cover is not a direct copy, and probably not even a re-working of the Baker panel. I'd guess it's closely borrowed, but completely redrawn.

You know, I actually like the Charlton cover much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got a date with CGC and I think it stands a chance at a 9.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, I actually like the Charlton cover much better. Heavily swiped, but it does look redrawn, the distance between the two characters, the man's left arm position, the continuation of his leg and the chair, and details of both faces and her hair are different.

Iksar Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 The one thing I always thought was "un-Bakerish" about that cover, was the woman's hand on the lantern. But now, after seeing the "official" Baker panel, the hand is drawn the exact same! That convinces me that the Secrets cover IS a Matt Baker cover.
