comicnoir Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Hey Rick, what did the TaR 32 go for. As a Canadian I was not allowed to bid, so you have to think of that with the realised prices since my and others would have made an impact on the final price, if we were allowed to bid. Which we weren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted the TAR34, but most of these books looked like the page quality was low. The TAR4 only went for $13 (but I think it was missing the first wrap...).

Appears to be a solid copy, although it does have significant tanning. I actually thought it might sell for more. I won some of his other romance books but none of the Bakers. And, yeah, seems odd that he wouldn't allow bidders from Canada. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manetteska Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I was a bit (pleasantly) surprised at the final price of the DS #20 -- $411. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a good deal, I think. One of Baker's few tear drop covers. I think Dr. Love has indicated there are four. Don't ask me to name the other three!

The picture of him shows him giving off a mocking laugh. What was Baker trying to say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some staining and creasing in the lower right corner brought down the grade on this otherwise pretty nice copy. Yorick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that the date on the label of your copy says December, although it says January on the cover (and on the label of my copy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Just for fun I checked the census for issues 41 to 45. Highest graded copy of any issue is a mere 6.0. I think we've seen a couple of raw copies of 42 posted that would probably grade higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I think there's at least one copy of TR 40 that was mistakenly slabbed as a "#41", since that book offers no clue, inside or out, as to the actual issue number.

"Cindrella Love" #25 can still be found in the census, but only if you search for the misspelled title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be more than happy to take it off your hands! This is the best I can do on that one.
