Sqeggs Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 By slabbing this copy, I brought the census count up from zero to one. Unfortunately, like most recently graded books, it suffers from Newton Rings, as can be clearly seen in the logo. comicnoir, sagii, pmpknface and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great cover (and not even dominated by a Baker babe)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Somehow never tracked down a better copy of this one, so I figured I would just have this copy graded. 29dukedog and Point Five 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Previously no graded copies of this issue, although I think I've seen boardies post nicer copies than this one. 29dukedog, pmpknface and sagii 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Can't remember where I picked this up as a raw copy. I think it may have been in a group of Wild Boys (Baker and non-Baker, Ziff-Davis and St John) on eBay. They were all in the VGish range. The other copy on the census is a 7.5, which I think was posted to the boards not long ago by ... @Ricksneatstuff ? @szavisca ? @Yorick? pmpknface, szucchini, Ricksneatstuff and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've enjoyed seeing the APCs... for me, the St. John crime (and western) is the final frontier in collecting Baker. The romance has been collected to the best of my abilities, but books from the other genres, I've only picked up here and there as I went... I still need many APCs. Collecting Bakers has never been slower for me than it's been in the past couple of years (higher prices, seemingly lower availability), but in the past couple of years I scored a decent run of APC #27 thru 29, a great mini-run, imo. Also, a couple super scarce Bakers seemed to fall into my lap... (does this seem to happen more often when you're not trying real hard? It seems like that to me.) szucchini, Ricksneatstuff, sagii and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
