As you can imagine, they are much easier to get for the most part. Also, here is Romantic Secrets 19 -- I think I mistakenly said #4 in my original post. On 2/16/2017 at 4:21 PM, Dr. Love said: just asking - how does this Romantic Secrets 19 make your Baker list? It's listed in the Amash book. The blonde haired man looks somewhat "Bakerish" to me. Amash credits Colletta as inker. That might explain why it doesn't look like Baker, assuming it is a Baker cover. There are a few comics on my Baker list that I have doubts whether they are actually Baker. I pick them up if they're cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 TAR 11 is pretty tough, with only three copies on the census, of which this one is the highest. Anyone have a nice raw copy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had a scan of this book in the raw, I wish you'd posted that first, and made everyone try to guess the grade CGC gave it (without cheating and checking the census).

Sqeggs Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 No spine split. Really looked nice in hand. Here are the graders notes: fingerprints right center of front cover light creasing to cover light shadow full bottom of back cover medium stain right top of back cover The back cover doesn't actually look that bad to me. Enough dings, though, to gradually pull the grade down, and I guess the word "stain" has become like the black spot in old pirate movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29dukedog Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 The original price tag on that book is now almost embarrassing. Let's just say, it would've made tricolorbrian happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
