I’m looking at today’s heritage weekly, and I’m comparing Authentic Police to Teenage Romance. Just seems like the Romance has been bid up dramatically higher than the Authentic. I wondered if that is generally reflective of the market. I myself have both, and I never before noticed this large of a discrepancy. Maybe by the time the gavel comes down that discrepancy will have disappeared Since so many Baker collectors appreciate his good girl covers and many Authentic Police covers have minimal to non-existent females on the cover, it is not surprising that Romance would outpace his Authentic Police covers. However, any APC issue with a prominent female like the classic APC 6 should hang right in there with the better Baker romance covers. Grade of course matters as Baker romance and crime in the Fair to VG- range have become a lot more common with some exceptions so it seems only the rarer covers and higher grade copies command a real premium these days..

But even going back to the 1990s when I was aggressively pursuing any Baker romance, Cinderella Loves were very hard to find. Even with some huge price spikes, copies of both Cinderella Love and Going Steady still seem relatively scarce. Yorick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a grouping you don't get to see every day!! I've never had those three on the left (DS/LS/PC) - are they rebound remainders like the Giant Comics Editions?

The TAR in the auction is a somewhat classic Baker cover. The particular APC issues in the auction are not. APC issues that are not in the auction, but which prominently feature Baker GGA, would generate higher bidding. GreatCaesarsGhost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may just be my perception, though. comicnoir 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did that a lot when I started scanning my silver books. Most have ugly wavy lines from the plastic bags. I'm embarrassed to show them. I need to scan them again...OUTSIDE the bags...
