PeterPark Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I assume others were watching this one as well, but a very strong sale for a 2.5 Seven Seas 6: https://www.ebay.com/itm/265498461540?hash=item3dd0f10564%3Ag%3Aw7EAAOSwLqth4OSl&nma=true&si=JiL%2B%2Fz1hCM3qDOXfWowNY5BZEDM%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Nice to see it coming into it's own a bit. The first two issues of the series, terrible covers aside, are still tremendously undervalued IMHO. comicnoir 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun Clancy (Bakerfan) recently posted on fb that he owned a Seven Seas 4 nm double cover that he bought in 1997 for $2K and sold the next day for $3K. He regrets it of course. NM double cover! Does anyone know anything about this book, like who owns it now? PeterPark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eccomic Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 The sheer ignorance of sellers never cease to amaze me Talk about leaving money on the table. To add insult to injury he mentions not ONLY GGA but mentions Baker in title.... jimjum12, Point Five, Yorick and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t see this Baker but there was a Cole I was tracking I probably should have bought. Hopefully the new owner needed that issue and enjoys it.

Point Five Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Idly curious: Jumbo #69 is Matt Baker's first interior story, but what issue is his first cover in comics? Is there a consensus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point Five Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 As a starting point for discussion, Atomic Comics #4 (7-8/46) seems to be a verified Baker cover. So the question could be reframed as, did Baker draw any Fiction House covers, or any other oddball covers like the Atomic one, in the 1944-to-early-1946 era.

Ryan. Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Atomic 4 has always been one of those covers, like certain Phantom Lady covers, that everyone talks about as an accepted Baker cover yet I've never believed to be Baker at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now what you consider his last published cover??? Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
