I guess it hasn't yet made it to the top of the pile to be sent in. HA! Isn't that the truth. My early September submission is just now "shipped/safe". It has been difficult waiting to share...

Robot Man Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Baker romance seems to be the prefect books to be graded and slabbed. For the most part, they are all about the covers anyway. I just hate slabbed books. So much better in that clear, clean mylar and you can thumb through them just to remind you of why you paid so much for them...

29dukedog Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Re-acquiring APC #29 recently also enabled me to cap off the mini run of Baker covers (#27-29). Earlier this year I finally scored a #28 in a Clink auction, and the #27 I've had a few years from a HA auction: szucchini and comicnoir 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta give you credit for the lamp. That's one of my favorite APC covers and I never noticed the lamp. Maybe deserves a cover notation from GCG.

N e r V Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 So I know for a lot of people this is a classic cover so anyone want to guess the final price at auction over at ComicConnect? It’s a solid grade number but I have to admit I’m used to seeing copies from other collectors with cleaner whites and brighter colours than this copy. I can’t tell if that’s foxing or some general browning at the very top either. It looks to have some tanning on the cover edges inward too. Guesses in today’s market???

Only three copies on the census with the one that sold here being the topper. I have a 4.0 in the bad guys' slab. Your copy is the best I can recall seeing. Over three years ago I paid more than $500 for a raggedy raw copy on eBay listed by the OP herself. Alas, it came back from CGC restored. On 9/19/2017 at 8:41 AM, 29dukedog said: Yeah, but "only three copies on the census" describes a great many of the St. John romance. I think that's more a reflection of the scarcity of these books. Like my TLP 9, there are probably more than a few raw copies still out there that would top the census, if submitted. On 9/19/2017 at 11:44 AM, Yorick said: I have a newly obtained copy in Sarasota right now that I hope will validate Dukedog's prediction... we shall see. I want to wait for my books to be in-hand so the grades will be a surprise, but I did take a peek at the census for TLP9. There's a 6.0 that I don't recall seeing previously.
