OMG! Really? I sold 90% of my GE's (as I stopped collecting cause of the money grab) and the rest went to Betts. They are HUNGRY for books on there... I sold around 60 of my readers too! I am a member of 3 groups... GREAT people and no one EVER argues or fights. You on Facebook?

Knowing Darkness Deluxe edition (sorry, no Whelan original).
Realistically, probably the range of 3-5K. It just depends on your situation. If you can wait around for the right buyer who doesn't care about the price per se.
I'd sell mine for $500 USD +Shipping! No Whelan piece and a blank # line.
Comes with the large, clear slipcase!
After George sold his last copy I bought the next one that popped up on ebay for $600. But that was after I knew that there would not be anymore for $500. I think they are going to go up now that George it out of them. They were >$600 from CP so anywhere around there, I have been watching one that is starting bid at $800 with no bidders.
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
If you get one UNDER $2K with a Whelan.. you scored. Any Whelan from Knowing Darkness is at least $1500... I am sure David could chime in here and PERHAPS this is what our new member is referring too although it was asked with no Whelan original.

I bought mine (with Whelan) at issue price years ago.....in fact, Michael did a separate piece for me so I ended up with 2 Whelan pieces...I sold one to a member here...I misremember if I kept the book or not which leaves me befuddled as the book is no small piece...Maybe I have it in my storage unit somewhere.
The Whelan piece I kept was a freebie he gave me for posing as Father Callahan.
Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
Whelan pricing these days is WHATEVER the buyer is willing to pay....but, in general, I've found that Whelan art (Dark Tower that is) has more or less doubled in value in the past 2 years based on what I've seen trade hands and what I know original purchase price (from Whelan) was.

This is the one I sold (regrettably) for a SONG a few years ago. Oh well.

IF.. and I mean IF.. the movie is good and they continue on... the artwork will raise in value. No question... as more collectors scramble for the books they will learn about Michael Whelan and as many of us... work to earn a piece of his work. Whether the actor is black or white will have no bearing on the price of WHelans work. I would make a hefty bet on that... I find books fluctuate more in value than the art... most likely Alan... his artwork will flow along at the same rate.
