This just arrived.

I just looked at where that sits on the census 

Alone and undisputed.

Ok, now is anyone ready to actually call out a top 10? Or Is someone willing to set up a poll? 

I've had a pole since this thread started.

Diary Secrets #30 3.0 closed at a strong $410 on CC.  I suspect the usual suspects.  Who do we congrat on this one?

I'm an under-bidder...  darn.

OK everybody, I actually took an hour this morning  and put a poll together on this from what this thread has been saying. 

After all of that this site glitched and the poll did not go through. I will mess around with it again another time. That was an exercise in frustration

Bummer! The site has been very unstable the past few days.  I believe Arch thinks they may have fixed it.

I really appreciate the attempt!

It for a very good cause though; so we can all hate each other's inferior choices!!!

I know how pickey you Baker romance collectors are so I thought I'd post this cool one I got off the bay real cheap (bad title, day and time)

What could be more romantic than your babe running off with your stash while you are left to deal with the varmits?

That's a great one I have not seen before.

I was an underbidder on that. Very cool book.

Obviously, she's off to hire a few gunfighters to help out.  Stopping thinking the worst of people! 

Found this copy lurking in my PB under an assumed name.

Has anyone figured out how to set up a poll?  I'd still like to see this idea happen, one of these days.

Yeah, photobucket... a Greek tragedy.  The library of Alexandria in ashes.  

At least three of your top ten are on my list, too... (CL #25, Seven Seas #6, and Phantom Lady #17).  

Does anyone else find Phantom Lady #14 suspicious?  Hard to believe it's Baker, imo.  Tiny, awkward hands.  The symmetry of the face just doesn't say, "Baker", at all, though every other source I know of does.  

Yes, I'd like to read JVJ's comments on All Top 16.  (I believe Baker had a hand in it, at least.)

I don't wanna ruin anyone's favorite book for them so I'll post JVJ's response to me a bit later tonight when I have more time to dig it up and figure out how to post hidden content... it might make you think a bit differently about what is and what isn't a genuine Baker.  Also worth a read is JVJ's forward in vol 2. of the Roy Thomas presents Classic Phantom Lady anthology... in it he discusses in depth his opinion on how much PL cover and interior content Baker was responsible for.  I did find it odd that in the forward to this part of the anthology they list they showed a picture of the Saint #4 as an example of genuine Baker...but a few years later JVJ decided in Art of Glamour that this wasn't Baker....so even a trained art historian apparently has a hard time making up their mind about what is and what wasn't Baker.

I don't mind disagreeing, or being disagreed with.  There's nothing wrong with changing one's mind, either.  Means you care more about getting it right than being right.  Many times JVJ will put "Baker?"  ("Pending additional data", "Pending final decision".)  That works. 

If anyone's opinions could ruin my favorite book, we couldn't be talking about my favorite book.  If you have any reservations about posting those opinions, you can PM them, too.  At your convenience, of course.
