Oh yeah and why don’t you use this while you’re at it! The guys who sell this are super popular right now.

Any idea of value of the Bag of Bones ARC signed/dedicated editions? This one has a slight creased spine and a couple crinkles but not terrible:

Ralph, because of the very minor defects, I'd say $350-400. A fine copy should go about $450-500.

Looks to be signed "Steve". Could be worth quite a bit more than a "Stephen" signature.

Alan will pay handsomely for it.

I just looked at the pic of mine (post #21 in my collection thread) and mine looks more like "Stephen".

Not in that condition, and it is signed "Stephen".

Thank you for the information guys.

I will move this to the for sale thread.

I have one of the black tape DT variants. To me, the proofs are identical apart from the black tape. However, I have a white tape version of another proof and paper stock is different between the taped proof and regular proof, and because of that there is a significant difference in thickness. So the white tape (and possibly black tape ) may mean a different printing, ?? after corrections.

Man, you really are the master of proofs. Are the taped proofs you have pictured in your collection thread?

Any opinions on the value of the sold out but yet to be released Gwendys Button Box S/L?

What’s the value of the orange wrapped Danse Macabre proof in NF condition?

[biomieg]

What’s the value of the orange wrapped Danse Macabre proof in NF condition?

Those are quite scarce. I can't remember what I paid for my copy (and what I sold it for) but $1,000 wouldn't be out of the question. Also, most copies of this proof are covered in writing for some reason so a copy without writing would fetch a lot more. This is an example from Gerald's store (listed at $1,150) that is also written all over:



I think I've only seen once copy that wasn't written on.

This conversation made me go look as was sure I had one. Found my very clean NF copy has one line written across very bottom, "plus 22 black and white photos".
Made me think this might be good thing to carry when I spend time hunting Mr. King to sign something.
When I opened, I found had already been signed. Good to dig out some old things when the curiosity arises from conversations here.

I sold my VG+ one for $240

What’s the value of the orange wrapped Danse Macabre proof in NF condition?

I paid $350 for my VG+ copy with annotations throughout, in 2016.

[jhanic]

I paid a little more than $410 for my VG copy in 2005. See post #23 in my collections thread. It also has the writing on it, but not as much as the copy above. I've never seen a copy without the writing. I also have a F&G (Folded and Gathered) I got for $500 in 2010 from Betts.

Ok, I don't collect proofs, so I am curious about the writing. For collecting proofs is it preferable to have clean copies or written on copies? If I collected them, I think I would prefer the written on ones, as this shows it was part of the editing process. I have always wondered about this.

Thanks,

[biomieg]

Wow, that's less than I thought. As I said, I can't remember what I paid for mine or sold it for but I think it was more than that... but my guesstimate of its market value seems to be off the mark...

[bdwyer19]

Thanks everyone. I had seen a NF copy for sale yesterday for $350, which is why I was asking. But it’s gone now. Sounds like it was a fair price.
