N e r V Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Ah, the hazards of eBay .... You bought as a raw? If so, just curious what they graded it as before slab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Graded as a GD+, so I can't argue with the grade. But I missed the color touch. Tough book for which I paid a pretty good buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacentaur Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 According to the census there is a 9.6 copy of this one out there. Wow, that's a great book with a great cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 One of my favorite Baker covers. Shame about the pq, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N e r V Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 One of my favorite Baker covers. Shame about the pq, though. The worst PQ CGC books I have are light tan to off white. So how bad is a slightly brittle PQ when compared to light tan,tan or just brittle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I agree! Wonder if the 9.6 is one of the few Church Bakers? It's not on the list so if it is a Church copy it was sold prior to the list being created. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how bad is a slightly brittle PQ when compared to light tan,tan or just brittle? I think Slightly brittle has the brittleness confined to one spot -- in this case the top of the spine. In hand, the top of the spine seemed stable, so I figured it was just a bug chew. CGC didn't agree, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not on the list so if it is a Church copy it was sold prior to the list being created. I think we had this discussion before, but I can't remember the outcome ... but would that be the highest rated Baker romance book? I have a Pictorial Confession 3 that's a 9.4 and I think there some other 9.4s. Don't remember if anyone has posted a 9.6, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan. Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Are the Baker Cinderella Loves particularly difficult to find? There's only a handful of each on the census. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Are the Baker Cinderella Loves particularly difficult to find? There's only a handful of each on the census. Yeah, pretty much, particularly in at least mid-grade. The run was fairly late in St John's existence. For instance, CL 25 has a cover date of December 1954. So St John's always shaky distribution was probably even worse by then, or so I assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
