OK, I don't want to clutter up this thread with my top 10 pics, so here is a link to the top 12 in my collection (I couldn't pick just 10)...let me know what you think.  I only chose covers with no word balloons, with one obvious exception.  I'm outa here for a week or so...

I was going to suggest that AFTER we pick a top ten (including books we may not own), we should THEN create our individual collection top tens.

I don't know how to make a poll either.

A man after my own heart.  I have a slabbed copy in the same condition, and I also think it's (one of) his very best covers.

Great book. Looks like there's a 5.5 in the current ComicConnect auction.

If I had to pick only 10, and rank them, here's what happens: 

 

Phantom Lady #17  (because it's the first Baker I ever went ape for) 

Cinderella Love #25  (I believe it's his single best artistic effort) 

Seven Seas #6  (I'm putting this above all Baker's romance covers that I adore so much, because it's that good) 

Teen-Age Romances #42  (it makes me feel an autumn evening in my bones) 

Cinderella Love #27  (no words... they should've sent a poet) 

Going Steady #10  (again, for the atmosphere) 

Diary Secrets #26  (it has horses) 

Going Steady #12 

Diary Secrets #27,

Wartime Romances #17  (it really is a masterpiece of composition and execution).

I had to make tough choices.  I like those 10 covers more than TLP 11 and GCE 12, evidently.  You give it a try, you'll see some great covers get left behind, just out of necessity.

So true (just funnin' ya, good list).
