Sqeggs Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 They're kind of tough in higher grades, but I'm not sure too many people are looking for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original art for this cover still exists!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, this one only counts as Baker in a very loose sense, but I picked up this obscure Australian comic on eBay last summer and it contains a reprint of a Baker Atlas Western: "A Man with a Gun," first published in Frontier Western 5. sagii and comicjack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n2wdw Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I thought the True Love Pictorial 9 would close for more on eBay today (it closed at $733). I think of it as a classic Baker cover, not at the level of GCE 12, but still a classic. I thought it would go for over $1000. Anyone else surprised?

Maybe some condition issues held it back? Also the closing time was probably not ideal for the seller. I was able to win a bad guys' 4.0 on CLink about a year ago for less than $400. That really surprised me. I forget what my snipe was, but it was definitely way higher than that. So, you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else surprised? probably the piece off the bottom corner prevented any 1K bids or more. It truly is though, a fantastic Baker composition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hate to tell everyone what my 6.0 miscut copy cost. The seller was giving it away because of the miscut!! They thought it was trimmed.

Really nice looking copy of a tremendous Baker cover but some condition issues such as the piece off the bottom corner prevented this from going higher. I also noticed a few copies have surfaced recently which may have reduced the demand a bit. Still a fair price for a classic cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
