This auction couldnt work without a very dense if not complete offering of the St John romance run. In slabbed mid to high grade condition. There aren't very many people who've accomplished that. One of those who could have pulled this off is that so cal Baker guy whose name I forget. No, not you Will!

Dr. Love Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 This would be the opportunity for those who have decent copies to jump on in. Could be the height of the Baker market for a while. How would multiples of certain issues do in this scenario? Do lesser copies benefit in the wake of a highest grade? Would HA put them before or after in terms of listing order? davidtere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually, though, it became apparent that almost all true Matt Baker art was tastefully drawn, and that the work that was sexually over-the-top might not be his at all, or at the very least is his art modified by a heavy handed inker. Even when Baker drew a street corner hooker, she was not gaudy. My favorite Baker cover. Easily in my top 10 favorite covers in my collection. Sexy? Sure. But in a very tasteful way. That expression and those eyes get me every time I see it. Sqeggs, davidtere and MBFan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
