Dr. Love Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 If it's really important to you to have the notation, the way to do it would be to reach out to Matt via email and ask if it could be done through a reholder. You'd have to have your arguments/proof ready and laid out upfront: jgegs of the interior illustrations, and quotes from The Art of Glamour that corroborate third party identification. Matt's got the good eye of course, maybe better than anyone, so he is capable of making the determination himself once the book is cracked out and looked at personally. Worst case if he doesn't agree, you're out the reholder fee and shipping both ways, figure $50 and 5 weeks out of your hands. If it was any lesser grade....but with the 9.8 White you stand alone at the peak, a book like that deserves the correct attribution(?).

At least one of the illustrations is signed with his name so the identification should not be an issue. Since this was the only issue graded thus far the graders probably thought the author notations meant more on the label. Just frustrating to do the back and forth since I included the reference in a note to them FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Love Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) Ahh. I too have learned - an important notation has to be cleared up front from inside the office. The grading form is iffy at best. Matt's a busy guy, I work with Melissa Lee, she's fantastically helpful. Edited May 16, 2017 by Dr. Love FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicnoir Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Baker OA is hard to price, there's so little of it. This is a beautiful example with her full figure dancing. Out of my comfort zone, but let's see where it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting piece ... and interesting price. Hey guys. I genuinely don't know how to price it. As Ron says, there is very little Baker to go around but exceptional pieces have sold in the $6-7K range years ago on Heritage. And I do think this piece counts as exceptional. I have a number in my head that I want to get for it so I'm open to offers to see what the market decides. I paid $4000 for it about 5 years ago. Maybe 6 years ago now that I think about it.

In the mean time this buyer hit my BIN. I sent him a very polite and apologetic email explaning that I was on the road and unable to update eBay in time and he left a neg. Not much i can do there.

Roy this is better than those Ha.com pieces. In fact I think this could count as amazing. You could get your price or a little close. Heritage might get it for you.
