comicnoir Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Agreed that TLP 10 is a great cover that is underappreciated. Its problem is over abundance. I've seen dozens of them over the past 15 years. Another very common book is Pictorial Romances 16. At one time, Metropolis had something like 4 or 5 copies for sale, all at the same time. In the case of that book, though, it's additionally burdened by not being the greatest cover Baker ever did. True about PR 16. Almost makes me wonder if there might have been a warehouse find. Interesting. On a related note does anyone have a top 5 list of most common to find Baker romance books - even if they are not exactly falling off of trees That's a tough question to answer. I wouldn't say any of them are truly common. I can only speak in general terms of how many copies of a book, relative to other individual issues, I personally have seen over an extended period of years. Aside from the books already mentioned, I've heard a rumor about an old warehouse find of copies of True Love Pictorial 3. I can't say that I've seen a whole lot of them over the years, but it might help explain why there's a freakish 9.6 copy in the CGC census. When i first started looking for copies on ebay, I noticed a number of Teen-age Romances #1. That has changed and I haven't seen one in ages.

jlee Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Impressive set That's a lot of good Baker reading! Thank you! I was lucky enough to start collecting Baker very seriously in the early 90s. But in a fit of insanity, I sold some of my Baker romance runs. (Fortunately I did keep most though). Looking forward to completing those runs once more. I will be posting a few more of my runs over the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29dukedog Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I've always wondered about those Honeymoon Romance digests... is it a certainty that they contain Baker art? Anyone know for sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
