Sqeggs Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) One of the 6th Street books. Was originally a 5.0 OW, but like most of those books had apparently been exposed to dampness. As result, it was noticeably wavy, so I had it pressed. (Census note: I don't think the original label was sent in when this book was reslabbed, so one of the two 5.0s listed on the census is probably this book. That would leave this copy, the other 5.0, and a 3.5 as probably the three copies of this issue graded to date.) Edited to add: Just noticed that CGC doesn't give Baker an art credit, although the cover is clearly his as is some of the interior story art.

Dr. Love Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Nice! The 7 is tough and the 9 is really tough. Still looking for a copy of the 9. Speaking of this and 6th St - coulda had a #9 for the low, low price of...$3300. It's three years later. Would you pay that now? If not, 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there are story on the 6th street books? It was an OO collection from the northwest that the OO's heirs consigned to an LCS owner. He listed some of the books on eBay and when they sold at very strong prices, a dispute broke out among the heirs, who pulled the remaining books off the market. Those remaining books have yet to come to market, so far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VintageComics Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Is there are story on the 6th street books? Jo, it was a store up in Washington state that had a walk in collection find (I believe) that was Baker heavy and consisted of some VERY nice copies. Happened a couple of years ago. It came to be dubbed the 6th St. collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB1952 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 single illustration. Thinking getting it CGC just hoping CGC can credit Baker-art. Late Western art by Matt Baker 1957 Marvel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 single illustration. Thinking getting it CGC just hoping CGC can credit Baker-art. Late Western art by Matt Baker 1957 Marvel. Thanks. The Art of Glamour book reproduces an illustration from the story, but I wasn't sure whether there was any more Baker art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB1952 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Correct only illustration as shown on the Art of Glamour book. Hopefully we can see another Baker book in the future, just like the Art of Glamour book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Love Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 single illustration. Thinking getting it CGC just hoping CGC can credit Baker-art. Doubt that this could get slabbed. Pulps are a no-go, and while this is past the pulp era and technically more a magazine, there is an approved list of magazines on CGC's site, and as you might expect, this isn't one of them. You'd have to petition to have this added to the list. They're not into one offs, and I don't think there are a lot of other requests for 3 Book Western coming in. Great shape, kat!
