MBFan Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 In poring over The Art of Glamour more carefully, I noticed a THIRD example of surviving Matt Baker cover original art. Page 107 shows the lower portion of the cover art for Authentic Police Cases #35, with a notation that it was found in Baker's files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ricksneatstuff Posted December 21, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) Not romance but one of Baker's best. Easily a top 10 Baker for me. Really happy to pick up this really pretty white page copy from a boardie.

If I knew it'd end in this range, I might've given more serious thought to trying for it. I was sure it wouldn't go for less than $1200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sure it wouldn't go for less than $1200. There wasn't much info to go on from the seller. At least there were photos of the front and back and inside front/back... If it is anything like the other books he had posted, I'd guess the paper quality is poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed it or it would definitely have gone higher. Whatever problems it might have, it would have been a big upgrade over my copy. Strange that the seller neglected to include Baker's name in the listing title. Cost himself some dough. pmpknface 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given there are only three copies on the census (one being my wreck of a copy), it had the potential to go well above $1,200 if the seller had had the brains to put "Baker" in the listing.

I guess there is, if you happen to have a copy of "The Art of Glamour". Online, I don't think so. It would be a pretty short list, in any event.
