The copy I bought from you looks much tighter than that copy and it seems to have a fair amount of tanning to it’s cover/PQ. It might hit 4.0 but mine still has much better eye appeal IMO. It’s now crossed into $1,225.00 with 9 days to go now. If this is the new pricing I need to send Ricksneatstuff some petit fours for Christmas. I’ll take That.

If I'm reading the description correctly, the seller bought it years ago because he thinks the woman looks like Bettie Page! I think Baker actually based her Jane Russell. I believe somewhere in this thread, somebody posted a photo of Russell in a similar pose. A somewhat ragged copy of Baker's little Cinderella book is also up on eBay. It looks like a better copy than the last one on ebay. Bright color too. I recall the Jane Russell photo, and believe that was one of Joanna's postings.

Yorick Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 @Sqeggs Re-read page 138 of this thread. Damn Photophucket images are gone.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorick Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Back to my comparisons between the UK and US versions of Manhunt.... here is issue #2: (I apologize for the poor photo lighting, but I didn't want to break the spines by putting them on the scanner. The upper right girl has a yellow background which is difficult to see against the yellowing paper quality. The bottom right image may not be Baker. There's another image I omitted which did not look like Baker work at all. I have found less and less Baker work as the issues progress.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N e r V Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Does the Teenage Romances #32 currently on eBay have an extra staple added by someone. I can’t tell for sure but it looks kind of like a staple was added on the first page and ends in the center of the book. If it’s not a staple I’m not sure what that is then? https://www.ebay.com/itm/TEEN-AGE-ROMANCES-32-VG-ST-JOHN-MATT-BAKER-COVER-1953-Only-14-in-the-CGC-Census-/132417825734 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking about that mark down below the bottom staple? Not sure, either. Why not ask the seller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
