If it's not too much trouble when you put out the final rankings I'd be interested to see how many first place votes each book got too... you could just put it in parentheses after the book's name... kinda like they do in the AP/ESPN college football rankings. Excel Spreadsheet makes it somewhat easy to do. Edited September 24, 2017 by tabcom Ricksneatstuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I much prefer Kamen's cover to 23 (but that's an old debate!). PL 23 is a great bondage cover but for me, it is hard to see any Baker in this cover excepts for parts of Phantom Lady's face. Definitely agree that this is more likely the work of Kamen and maybe some Feldstein with a composite of Fox studio artists lending a hand including Baker. I know many speculate on how much of the PL covers were by Baker and I personally only see 13, 15, and 20 as being primarily completed by Baker. The 13 being representative of his earlier Crown comics style and 15 representing the more fluid style we see in his St. John work. 20 is a bit of a hybrid. (BTW - a smart boardie reminded me of 20 being a Baker cover so I amended my post). Edited September 24, 2017 by BakerFanOne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 My 3 choices made it to the Top. How many were excluded, if any? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickie Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 1. Props to tabcom, for sure! -- Thank you, it was fun and it is still fun to watch! 2. My TOP 1 got excluded (PL 20). If my TOP 2 and 3 hadn't made the cut (they made it), I wouldn't have bothered, but like this, I'd like to consider myself "disqualified" from further voting ... (Really, it wouldn't be a "true" ranking for me.) You will have enough - and true - votes for the final result nonethless! I look forward to reading all the comments on the final result!

I am really shocked All Top 16 did not get enough votes to be on the list. That was probably pretty smart. In retrospect, I wish I'd voted for something other than PL 17, as there was little doubt it would've made the ballot without my help. (Of course, the same is true of all three of my picks, as it turned out.) So, in ranking the ballot, I dropped PL 17 a couple of slots. There were a couple I was surprised to see made the list at all (I probably have Rick to thank for that, in part). And I really though at least one other Cinderella Love would get in there. I felt obliged to put PL 23 last, as I feel there is enough doubt over Baker's contribution to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't whip out that 5 dollar bill to buy it at a local convention many years ago without even looking through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagii Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Voted. Two of my top 3 ( culled from the 'no brainer' pool) made the cut. My underdog choice , Approved Comics 12 didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also proud of whoever voted for some of the less "salacious" covers, like DS 26, GS 10, TR 43, and Amazing Ghost Stories 14. Otherwise, the turnout was largely what I expected.

I wouldn't mind seeing another round, as well. But let's not forget, the ranking on this round is still in progress. I fear some people will mistakenly believe the job is done.

The data this project reveals will prove a valuable marketing tool. Someone is always asking, "What are the most valuable/desirable Bakers?" Now we'll have a realistic answer to that... at least, in part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
