Just wanted to say I'm so happy I found this thread! I've been collecting Neil Gaiman since about 1992 and the pages of this thread are a goldmine of images. Thinking about posting my own collection here pretty soon.

Thanks for this. He reads his own audiobooks and they are awesome. So great to hear him read his stories.
Post away - even if you have books we've already posted, it is OK to post yours. Sometimes I see books posted that I did not know about, so don't be shy :-)
Yeah....welcome to the site. As Eric said - don't be shy....Post away - even if you have books we've already posted, it is OK to post yours. Sometimes I see books posted that I did not know about, so don't be shy :-)
Looking forward to see some photos
Show us your wares!
welcome! I keep meaning to post my whole collection here too, but never seem to get around to it!
Okay, you asked for it.This was fun taking images of everything.
First, Sandman comics. Not a complete run unfortunately. I have the first twelve and then a scattering of some others I've found at comic shops over the years.
Though I did manage to purchase a signed copy of #75.
Some other miscellaneous Sandman related comics and books including Dream Hunters stuff and the latest Sandman Overture issues. I'm still waiting on cover B of issue 4 to come in the mail.
My Sandman hard covers and soft covers.
And the obligatory Absolutes.
Some more miscellaneous Sandman books including the adorable Little Endless book even though it's not Neil's.
Death stuff including both mini-runs.
1602 Issues and Collected
Eternals. This includes a stack of issues all packaged together that I've never opened.
The Vertigo sample and Black Orchid collected.
Miscellaneous books including individual issues of Black Orchid.
Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?
Audio CDs and various films, DVD and BluRay. Two of the CDs are signed.
Two word paperbacks. I will sometimes pick up a Gaiman paperback when I don't want to "ruin" one of the new hard covers I've bought by actually reading it.
Some of the hard covers I have signed including one inscribed.
The hard covers. Most are first edition.
These two things which I have still yet to read.
Some recently purchase items.
Various odds and ends.
Mirrormask, the illustrated film script, signed.
Some Stardust bits.
And finally, the pride of my collection. A set of Hillhouse release, all numbered 200. When they fist took subscriptions, they held some numbers backed in case anyone asked for them. I asked for number 100 or 200 and 200 was available.
Phew. That's everything I think. I have more coming in the mail including the Chu books.
SWEET !!!! impressive collection. Thanks for sharing. Love the Hillhouse set.
Very nice collection - lots of cool items
WOW!! I don't collect Gaiman, but WOW!!

Beautiful collection! You're not missing much, it looks like. Thanks so much for taking the time to show it off. Love looking at all this stuff.
Ooh, I just saw Cain and Abel (from Sandman) bookends at my local comic shop. They were $150. I bet I could throw together a box of comics I could trade in for that.
Wow! Thanks everyone! Much better reactions than the questionable looks I usually get from people who come over.
Most people just don't understand collectors.

Shouldn't someone put that on a t-shirt for the next Haven Foundation fundraiser?

It has been a while, but I tracked down another book that I did not have - not sure how many S/L editions I have left to get. Here is Keep Out the Night, limited to 100 signed copies:
Sweet book, Eric. And, holding to my theory that #100* should be as equally "desirable" as #1 (if at all), then- great number!
*Edited to clarify- the last number in the run, whatever that number is.
A few questions.
Has anyone looked at Neil's older signature on Sandman comics? Is it just me or does it vary a lot from his signature in his books? Specifically I was looking at the Sandman #50 where there were 5000 signed editions with a CoA. Does anyone else have this issue and have they compared that to his signatures elsewhere?
Also.. what is the market value for the S/L American Gods... both the Hill House version and the Eastman Press version?
Thanks
Congratulations,. Eric! Looks like the book is in great condition, and you got #100 of 100!
