Cover looks pretty nice!  Just owning a copy is a win on this book.

DS is a tough run to complete.  I need a 28....  :baiting:

Looks like whoever was bidding on this doesn't agree with the traditional definition of recession either....$2,601 wow.  I don't the Northford is a pedigree that gets a premium ever, so this is a very surprising result.  Great looking 5.5 but still.

I suspect any pedigree slab with a gold label will be getting at least SOME pedigree premium going forward.

It does seem like a trend...there is much more of a boost from all random peds now...but seeing this go for 3-4 times what this grade a copy would have otherwise is still surprising to me.

I don't even know these days, honestly.  But Baker + pedigree + nicely presenting for grade is a recipe for a high price tag, that's for sure.

Especially high compared to the price on the other 5.5 Baker sold that day ..  PR 24 for 550

Definitely an atypical disparity, but probably as it’s should be.  Nightmare 13 is very original and sexy, and has such a cool color scheme, it’s approaching classic status and holding it’s big gains in the last few years.… I’ll take that any day over run of the mill/below average Baker romance.

Much better than the $500 you wanted to give me for mine...hm

I have a low grade copy of this scarce Baker so I bid a few times as this would have been a bit of an upgrade.  I don't know if it is a printing issue, but the right edge looked a little oddly cut to me or I would have bid a lot higher.  I compared it to the copy image on MyComicShop and there definitely was a difference but could not tell if there was any trimming.  Anyhow rare enough that I am not sure if a trimming makes much of a difference in value.  Congrats to the buyer and seller!
