BakerFanOne Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 1 hour ago, Ricksneatstuff said: I am new to the Baker romance world, but from what I have seen so far even 6.0 is almost unheard of for many of these raw or slabbed. I don't have the history with this genre but it seems to be the toughest post 1945 high grade group of books out there. Again, high grade being 6.0 or better even in the case of many of the giants and TAR among others. If I am wrong just give me a friendly scolding and I will walk away duly put in my place. We are seeing some fantastic books here and I suspect in many cases the highest graded on CGC. Great to know those beautiful Bakers are in the hands of boardies.

Any 9.4 is just awesome to see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I glad to even find a 5.0 of this one. Underrated issue. 7.0 is definitely a HG of these oversized PR issues. That 7.0 Pictorial Romances is just stunning for a giant. One of my top 10 Baker covers. The artistry is stupendous. And the woman isn't half bad. Baker brings the scene to life in an unparalleled way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Took me a long time to find a decent copy of this one. There was a raw on eBay for a while that was tempting, but the OO had written her name down the fortune teller's leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Bought this raw as a VF, which seemed accurate to me ... but, unfortunately, CGC took a different view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Did I already post this one? (I admitted my PB is a mess!) At any rate, it's in a tie for highest graded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Crippen copy of the first issue in the three-issue precursor run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Another tie at the top. I think Baker probably liked the freedom of not having even to pretend that people in his cover scenes were teenagers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just having a copy of that book is great. And a VF looking copy is even better regardless of what CGC says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BakerFanOne Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Although this is a lower grade copy, I have always liked this cover quite a bit. Hopefully there is a 7.0+ lurking out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicnoir Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Very few of my Pictorial Romances are slabbed, but here's a highest graded. Been thinking of pressing this. Very good upgrade potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
