Nice collection George.
I noticed you don't have any Grant 186s
How about The Dark Man, Eyes of the Dragon, The Stand, and The Dark Tower books, since they all share a common antagonist? Just musing!Quote:

I just matched an IT Portfolio to my SL both are PC but matching just the same, this is the only matching set I own, I wish my COTW SL & Portfolio matched but they do not
My Cycle and Portfolio numbers match but how I found the matching portfolio was extremely lucky!
If anyone happens to have Mr. Slaughter #91, I would very much like to swap, I now have Queen of Bedlam, The Providence Rider and The River of Souls all numbered 91 and They Thirst should also be this though I know it is not part of that series but still I am going to try and collect number 91 for all future Mccammon signed limiteds and I do have a Like New Copy of Mr. Slaughter for swapping so please PM if you can help me out
Thanks!
Tommy
P.S.
I also have a Speaks the Nightbird S/L that could be swapped for number 91
Hey does anyone out here have a matching Insomnia and Portfolio? What would you value it at if so? Thanks!
Kris, there were only 400 portfolios issued, while there were 1250 signed limiteds. If I had a matching set (which I don't--my book is #851, my portfolio is #158), I'd value it at $600+. The original price of the portfolio was $80.Quote:

Yes, I do like matching sets, but they're not a must by far.
My collections are a mixed bag for sure:
Subterranean Press:
Dan Simmons
*Hyperion Cantos: numbered #103/lettered OO (I got lucky to get full matching sets, three titles so far)
*Olympos: numbered #631, no (matching) Ilium
*Flashback: numbered #27
*The Guiding Nose of Ulfänt Banderöz: numbered #68
*Phases of Gravity: numbered #200
Joe Abercrombie: The Shattered Sea books:
*Half a King: numbered #48/lettered MM
*Half the World: numbered #48/lettered MM
So this will end up a matching trilogy
George R.R. Martin
*A Song of Ice and Fire:
Books I, II, V: numbered #61
(Anyone selling books III and IV ???)
*Dying of the Light: numbered #25
Steven Erikson:
*Malazan Book of the Fallen:
Books II, III and IV: numbered #334 (anyone got the first of the series??)/lettered books III and IV: EE
This will never turn into a complete matching series, numbered nor lettered.
Robert McCammon:
*the Matthew Corbett books: numbered #78, except for Mister Slaughter, that's a #228.
*I Travel By Night: numbered #75/lettered S (this will become a complete matching tetralogy)
*They Thirst: numbered #291
*The Five: numbered #78
*Baal: numbered #75 and #81 (slipcased)
*Bethany's Sin: numbered #75
*The Night Boat: numbered #457
*The Wolf's Hour: numbered #218
*The Hunter From the Woods: numbered #231
My King limiteds don't fare much better, I'm afraid.
sk
from my pov especially in terms of selling a set the matching # is very important.
You will sell a matching DT Set quite fast, a non matching besser in single book auctions.
Sets i understand - i would always try to get a matching set over a non-matching,
But i would never try to search all my books in the same #
Love it!
Which reminds me...
I do have two SubPress King limiteds as well:
*The Shining: numbered #253/Doctor Sleep (CD) numbered #253
*The Green Mile: numbered #18

Kris, are you trying to match a S/L book and BOTH portfolio versions (red cover, black cover)? May be impossible.Quote:

The big mistake sellers often make is bundling five or six books (I'm not talking about Dark Tower books) of the same number and trying to sell them as a set.
Most collectors are not going to buy five unrelated books in one swoop just because they have the same number.
Don't think the red ones were numbered. (Might be wrong)Quote:

Do yourself a favor...break 'em up and sell them one by one.Quote:

It is more work, but it will pay off.
