Ricksneatstuff Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I wanted that TAR 45 too. Awesome cover. I think I sniped way too low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ltpink2002 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Happy with this one. An unnecessary piece of tape on the interior cover at the top staple held down the grade, I think. 3M has a lot to answer for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPark Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Isn't SoTL much older than WR 17? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29dukedog Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Isn't SoTL much older than WR 17? No, SoTL #1 is from 1957. (It has a CCA stamp, too!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29dukedog Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Over the years I've had about 5 or 6 copies of this one, some of them even nicer than this... but this is the only one that remains. Paid $12. for it at our LCS, The Nostalgia Zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPark Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Oh, I thought I'd seen 1947 someplace...that makes a lot of sense and WR 17 has a far superior cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29dukedog Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I think SoTL is just locally hard to find, but not really as scarce as most collectors think. Over the past 15 years I've seen at least a dozen different copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPark Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I wonder what the experts would rank as the hardest to find Baker romances given a couple more years experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29dukedog Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 That's the one. Three... maybe four copies known to exist (?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
