Ryan. Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Is that really a Baker cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man looks like Baker's style from that period. I assume that the face of the female figure is intended to be ghastly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long enough ago that the seller is probably at the price. This issue seems to be starring in some sales threads right now. Great copy, Tony - another fabulous 'tall' Baker. Speaking of sales threads, looks like we have some different boardies picking up Bakers... otherworldsj331 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think anyone who has sold a Baker over five years ago is pulling their hair out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably what I meant to say is outside of Phantom Lady, and the Seven Seas 4, I think a lot of his other covers are WAY under appreciated and a lot of them are on par with his Romance classics but not recognized as such.

I just did an eBay search and took the plunge on copy slabbed by the dreaded P*X. I know it's a gamble but I know the seller and trust your experience on whether it was a rare opportunity to grab one. It stands out also because the image of the girl was used on the Baker tribute book. I leave my C**S books as is but will ultimately crack this P*X one out and submit to CGC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrocHntr Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Happy to finally get an upgrade for this one. Probably a Fine at best, but these are so hard to find in decent condition, so I'm thrilled to have it. sagii 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
