I’m not ready yet as there’s a few books I wanna get first. But since I have an exquisite taste when it comes to comic books, I appreciate his “good girl” art style.

This post didn’t age well. Went to a local show today and ended up purchasing my first Baker!

Nice one!  Pretty sure that's a 1st, and has several pages of Baker art that were deleted in all the reprints.

If you're looking for other affordable Bakers, the four issues he did for Dell are still not terribly pricey.

I know of the King Richard...what else? Lassie?

Correct, three issues of Lassie. (20-22, I believe).

Here’s something a little different that popped up on eBay tonight. A sericel for Seven Seas.

Top 10 in IMO, considering its unique material for Baker, classic composition and of course sheer awesomeness 

My first Baker.

It's cool but I don't know if you can call it different -- they seem to have a limitless supply of these things and auction them almost every week. There was a similar Baker-related one back in the summer, can't remember what it was now -- maybe Seven Seas #4? I meant to bid on it but just plain forgot, and it finished quite low.

It's just fan art, right? And they can print all they want. At least that's what I understand it to be.

Their auctions always have the back story that these cels were prototypes for a GA-comics-themed retail product in 1999 that never got off the ground. I must admit, I would like to see what they look like in hand.

Yea, these look kinda cool but they just don't seem like a "must have" collectible to me.  He's had a bunch of LB Cole ones too (my wheelhouse) but I never pulled the trigger on them.  Maybe if I wanted to display one in a comic room or something, but I'd just rather buy more comics.

Agreed; I've asked questions to figure out how limited these actually are (or aren't) and never received a real answer.

I have a couple (one has a 2020 backing board on it so there's that), and they are nice to complement my GA copies, but I treat them just as a produced item from a store. I'm not paying over the starting bid (usually $25) as I'm assuming they can continue to churn them out. I see some of these go for multiple hundreds and am shocked.

I'm sure everyone will see the previews for our Good Girl Bad Girl Auction HA.com/40216 soon, but this book is just too exciting not to share with my boardie pals

I don't see this posted much (if ever) so I'm going to show mine that I've had since 1995...

This seller push this for sale before pandemic and didn’t sell. The new and no knowledge Baker collectors are over paying for this prints now.

Looks like the Crippen copy maybe?...I shudder to think what it goes for, 60-70k?

Here is one of my purchases showing the final product, compared to the size of a comic, and the pieces which it is made of. This one did not have any dates on it. 
 

I will get pictures of the other one tomorrow.
