Wondering how long it would have taken for these to come to publication? With dates so close, was there collaboration for these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Since we are talking Baker esoterica, I thought I'd post this again. Anybody ever see ATO McBomb printed anywhere? Funnybooks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's harsh, but I want to know more about what went on with those...it's such an esoteric market, I don't know who might know. If it wasn't Baker, or he wasn't involved, who was it? There is definitely something to it. Whether it is as small as Baker went to a local international newsstand because he just liked the compositions or was actually involved in the production, there is something.

Where you the one I talked to on instagram?! I remember an interested party messaging me about it; I asked $50 via PM and someone declining.. That was before I knew what I had and just though it was a pretty cover. I would for sure be kicking myself if I would have sold it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you were able to get much more for it if it helps you collect other stuff you are more interested in. steve566 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
