And here is a Baker book:

 

Pictorial Romances #7 – 4.0 - $40 - Matt Baker cover, minor pencil marks on back cover, name in pencil on first page

 

 

Did you PM JvR11 on this one? If not, you should. (thumbs u

 

Dang!!! I missed it, I guess that's what I get for sleeping!! Thanks for looking out for me Scrooge

 

Me too.

 

 

 

Me three.

 

 

OK, what am I missing here? Why did 4 people want this book I priced at basically full guide? I know the winner wanted it for the playing cards, and someone wanted it for the redhead cover. Are there other reasons this one is so popular? The Baker cover?

 

 

 

 

 

I wanted it, but not at full guide and they wanted it because I wanted it?

 

Probably the Baker art...

 

I wanted it for the Baker art. I collect St. John romance.

I just happen to collect Baker covers because they're beautiful. That's all...no real other reason.

these St John Baker books typically sell for more than guide

Oh I know but I generally don't check guide or GPA anymore when buying Baker books. If it's a great cover and I can afford it at the time I usually take it regardless of price.

As a generalization I don't think they all fetch the same multiples...some are more desirable than others...depends on how risque the cover is.

That's why I don't think this was a multiple of guide book. It was fairly clean although I do love the gypsy like colorful clothing. Very pretty.

[capt_comics]

Probably not Roy.....

BTW - my comment wasn't directed at you personally, just the book/thread in general.

 

I've been watching these books on ebay for years, and being like some, I don't like to pay more than guide. But quite a few over the years do go for more than strictly graded guide. I've seen strictly graded VGs go for FN/VFN prices. And GDs go for VG. I know...I've lost my share of auctions.

 

I picked up the Giant with the prostitute cover this past year at a show and of course had to pay more than guide for that.

 

Been looking a long time

For the record, my 3 year old guide said $34 for vg (4.0).

 

I knew Baker was popular, so I asked $40 (120% guide) and it sold.

 

Guess I should have asked 200% guide I would have if it was high grade, but it wasn't

 

Now I've got a lot of other great books listed here at LESS than guide ..........

 

I need to sell some more of these books. PM me what you are interested in and we can probably work something out. I don't have much experience pricing golden age, I don't know what sells for 50%, 75%, 100%, 150% and 200% of guide (although I've got a clue)

 

PM me what interests you and we will work out a price (thumbs u

Fighting Yank #29 – 2.0 (looks better except for the piece missing) - $45 - Schomburg cover

 

that is mighty tempting, kind of turned off by the chipping and the right lower corner though
