I think all three have (revised) Baker South Seas Girl reprints with non-Baker covers.

Coincidently, mailman just dropped this one off today.

Love this thread, and idea of comprehensive list and poll.

Always felt this one was underappreciated (lack of a MB 'babe'?) . Anyway, the cover is an interesting specimen if only as a 'brother' cover to Seven Seas #4's 'sister'. Man/Woman in underwater duel with beast. At least the South Seas girl had a knife. Wild Boy will have to try and pull a Kong and break it's jaws.

Tony, your Baker romance run is PHENOMENAL!!

Man, that popping red could cause damage to the retinas, just from looking directly at it too long! 

Thanks. The strongest reds I've seen on a copy. Better than the 8.5.

This one isn't underappreciated by me- I love it... and have a very pretty copy of my own.

Thanks! And i'm sure you do. Forget the (forgotten)movie: The Boards has a group of 'Fabulous Baker Boys' (which includes you)of it's own.

What a great cover!

Sold for $14,340

Jimbo 747 should be happy with that price and his 9.0

There's a CGC 9.2 on the census which is the highest graded copy for the Seven Seas 4.

Does anybody have any idea if this would be the Church copy or the possible whereabouts of the Church copy for this book? 

Chuck had the MH Seven Seas 4 listed as a NM+ in his catalogue, but then what does he know since he had Seven Seas 1 and 3 both priced way higher than issue #4.

I have this copy, which is the only 9.8 on the census.  Not indicated as the Church copy on the label and it lacks the usual Church markings.  There's a 9.6 on the census.  Perhaps that's the Church copy or maybe it has yet to be graded.

Let's see if this scan is larger.

Probably not a Top 10 cover for me, but another one with a lot going on in the background.

My favorite page from Seven Seas #1.
 

"Above a volcano floor, shrouded by whispering mists, and hemmed in with deep waters treacherously studded by reefs, lies the vanishing isles... where the pounding surf sweeps adventure against lush shores, demanding a challenge from the young beautiful ruler and protector, Alani... known simply as the South Sea Girl!"

Speaking of Canteen Kate... Overstreet calls #3 "scarce"... but I've seen SO many copies of that issue!

Yeah, I think that's a holdover from pre-Internet days.  Fourteen copies on the census.  Looks like my 8.0 is, surprisingly, the highest.
