Good catch! I never noticed that. With most artists the faces pretty much all look alike, but Baker's faces are quite distinctive. I always get a Phantom Lady vibe from the raven haired beauties on both. Professor K 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Professor K Posted January 27 Popular Post Share Posted January 27 (edited) I read Ol' Matt used to keep a huge inventory of photos and art from magazines he would use as let's say inspiration. The girl on Cinderella is a dead ringer for the girl in this magazine: Liberty Magazine Jan.1947. Which came out around the time when the un-named actress above was one of the biggest Hollywoood Starlets in the biz. I suppose a lot of people already knew he swiped that lovely face, but for those who didn't https://comics.ha.com/itm/memorabilia/miscellaneous/liberty-magazine-january-1947-paul-hunter-1947-condition-vg/a/40190-81196.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515 Edited January 28 by Professor K spelling correction Ltpink2002, Point Five, ThothAmon and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yikes! I don't feel so bad. Here is my copy. Very nice paper and complete. A friend of mine gifted it to me back in the '80's. He found it in a pile of old magazines in a trash can while he was walking his dog. It was sitting on top and he grabbed it. I asked him if there were any more comics and he said he didn't even look. Oh, what could have been... adamstrange, Point Five, ThothAmon and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow. About 90 Promise books listed so far, mostly DC. Wowza indeed, as some newbie probably just wants to cut bait and run as I highly doubt they'll be making any money here. I guess our resident statistician boardie here (i.e. @MasterChief) will be awfully busy in April updating this chart of his for the rest of us here: On 12/18/2022 at 7:02 PM, MasterChief said: Update! Current Promise Collection ROI snapshot. Chart includes data from recently closed auctions, a "New Grade" column, and additional sales from other venues as noted by Resold @. (Source: Heritage Auctions, Comic Connect (CC), ComicLink (CL), eBay. Data sorted oldest to newest Sale Date) Somehow, I don't think this March dumping of the Promise books will require very much green ink and my guess is that the overall ROI to date of negative 28% (excluding any fees) will have a better shot of dropping even further into the red, as opposed to improving very much.

Well, let's hope it doesn't do a Terry-Toons 38 with the first Mighty Mouse which did not have such a mighty 1-year return at -72% as it dropped from $60K all the way down to only $16,800 or even a Saddle Justice 6 which dropped by some 69% as it fell off its $21K saddle and landed on the ground at only $6,600 on their second go round.
