So, here goes. My CA score

under the silver 1st ed dj




My homade one of a king shirt signed





my game of thrones signed teaser chapter book.




all in all an awesome trip!!! and last but not least the highlight of meeting MR Martin......

[becca69]

Cool Simon. So which ARC came first... the one I have with the different dust jacket or yours with the foil? Do you know the story on the different versions? I would think the silver foil dj had to come after if that's what they used for the trade edition, although it states uncorrected page proofs and mine says advanced readers copy. I'm so confused!!

[sgc1999]

ill have to research it. grrm told me the one he signed in the pic was worth $1000 but im pretty sure they are all worth about that.

[Patrick]

Great photos, Simon, especially that last one with the man himself!

I want one of your shirts.

[Garrell]

I just saw this on Ebay if anyone is interested:

[ELazansky]

I'm interested, but I can't afford what I'm sure is to be a high final price

[frik]

I don't think it'll go much higher than the starting bid.

[ELazansky]

I don't know...an unnumbered copy was sold a few weeks ago for $510. I'm sure there will be a lot of snipers at the end of this auction.

[Garrell]

shhhh. been watching it for a couple of days

[frik]

You're not alone....

I'm new to posting pics so I apologize ahead of time if this doesn't work.
Here's my G.R.R.M. pride and joy:

[frik]

You're not interested in selling, I guess??

Haha. Thanks.

Probably not for some time. The letters match but I had to piece them together from three different sources. I also collect some of the original art used in making them...so I'll probably be hanging onto them for a while.

I blame each and everyone of you and your fantastic collections, and maybe HBO and HPB, for giving me the Ice and Fire collecting bug. So, I need some info. I am trying to start out with the Harper Voyager t UK slipcased "trade". And I was fine til Feast of Crows. What is the difference in the signed blue and red slipcased ones and if you were going to pick up one, which would you get first? Thanks.

Very nice, chrise!

The red slipcased crows is the only one like it. compareable to Dark tower it would be like that Rogue Uk s/l of wizard and glass but not as cool I would stick to the blue set if your heart is set on getting those first, otherwise i would try to get the US 1st edition 1st printing by Bantom, and work your way toward game. I would rather have a 1st/1st by bantom or the Uk of Game than the entire 5 book set by Voyager. My opinion. I do know the 1st/1st of game is flying up in value rapidly.

The blue slipcased editions from Voyager are not signed. I hope Voyager decides to eventually do the final two books in the same format, otherwise the first five will look very out of place on your shelf. I have the first one, but I'm not thrilled with it, so I didn't get the others.

I agree with Simon - start with the 1/1 editions of the UK releases and then if you really want to keep going, go for the 1/1 UK editions. Other than the red Feast for Crows, you will be hard-pressed to find single signed/limited editions of the Meisha Merlin or Sub Press books for sale

Thanks for the answers.
Eric, there really is a signed blue slipcase - no sigil (spelling?)on it. Here's the link to amazon.uk: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Feast-For-Cr...mm_hrd_title_5
(Oh, a little off topic - I've noticed hyprlinks don't show up a different color or underlined so sometimes it's difficult to know there is something to click on, or maybe it's just my display?)

sgc1999, I actually did find a US 1/1 at the local used bookstore for 10.99. That is what really got me going. I did get the Dance with Dragons, but need the other US and all the UK trades. After I saw the HBO previews I got the PBs and loved the series. I think I may start with the red one since you say it's the odd one.

I'm heading out of town, will think aout it driving and let you know which one I decide to get..

That's the red one from years ago - totally different than the recent blue reissues:



Here is a link to the blue one, which matches the other blue reissues

Ya that one is like a lost red headed step child. Nobody is really looking for him but if they happen to bump into him, what the hell, right.

I know nothing of Martin's books, but found A Game of Throne S/L still sealed for $175. Is this a good price? I didn't pick it up, but might if it's a bargain.
