comicnoir Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I saw a low grade copy of this go for $$$ on the boards, so I thought I'd post my copy, which may be my first Baker. Ricksneatstuff, sagii, szucchini and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 14 hours ago, Tri-ColorBrian said: Getting back to the scanner thing...I pulled this book from its hiding place today and compared it to my original scan. It was off, and certain colors were too light. So, I put the scan in photoshop and fixed it as best I could. Now the colors match, almost. The red areas are still not red enough...but i can't fix that. Can anyone see a difference? I did this for two other Bakers, and if there's any interest I'll show those too. The original scan, followed by the fixed scan. Fixed Scan I'm not sure that I understand. The top scan shows the book as it is and the bottom scan is the one you'll use when you try to sell it?

sagii Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 @Tri-ColorBrian all kidding aside, they look amazing (those reds on the CL are incredible). On another note: I've picked up some Atomic Age DC's that i'm waiting for to arrive that i can't wait to share on your Thread on that topic Tri-Color Brian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tri-Color Brian Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) So, now i need to pull all my Bakers and see if the scans match the actual books, and if not...well...it's off to photoshop we go...except for the one's I got from Sqeggs. They are in such poor shape that it really doesn't matter. Edited December 21, 2017 by Tri-ColorBrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tri-Color Brian Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) BTW, took a close look at this beauty yesterday (out of the mylar) and if it isn't a 9.2 it's very, very close...Can we even imagine a $10,000 Baker right now? Well, I'm sure Rick can... Edited December 21, 2017 by Tri-ColorBrian sagii, comicnoir, pmpknface and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
