Betts Books

[Roseannebarr]

Would have NEVER GUESSED the final prices....specifically on the Plant and Green Mile sets.

WOW.

What is the difference between The Plant that sold and the ones you read about on SKCollector as in signed and numbered? Curious as I really don't know. Were the signed and number ones considered proofs too?

I was going to post the exact same question!!!! although i like the signed plants, the price is high for signed proofs??? what are they? I like the personalized plants as intended along with the EOTD.

Congratulations to who ever got all these NEAT items. the one i would of really liked is the proof of Danse Macabre!

It's my understanding that those were designer proofs of The Plant. Basically, the same as the numbered editions but without a number and possibly something along the lines of "designers proof" or "printers proof" written inside. Technically they are considered proofs.

Check out post #391 in my collections thread. It shows a Plant 3 proof that says "Proof copy" on the limitation thread.

Going by the prices realised on the silent auctions... "I'm rich I tell Ya, I'm rich"

My collection has quadrupled in value.... WoooooooooooHooooooooooooo!

So the Plant proofs.....would people here say their value is the same as the 3 books? Curious. Not that I can afford them but I can dream, and sponge off your knowledge .

[biomieg]

No, because the proofs aren't signed. If they are signed, like in the Betts listing, they're more valuable of course. But still not in the same league as the true S/L, I'd say.

I don't know if the Betts set are true proofs (designated as such in pencil), or out-of-series copies that were originally unsigned, unnumbered and not designated as anything. These exist as well and should go for around $500.

Well done! I missed that one. I've been looking for it for some time now. Congratulations!

I ended up going for a few even though I've already spent so much on the 1st round, but at least they're low ticket items this time.

Of course I had to work today and for the hell of it I decided to check out Betts books first. Got a little too excited, sent Dave and email for the scraps lol. I placed an order perhaps for 4 items via email. Let's see what happens . I'm hoping for some good news. Nothing financially ground breaking, but items I am interested in.

On the way to my therapist now to talk about the same problem.

On the way to my therapist now to talk about the same problem.

I tried that, but the co-pay was $40 per session.
After 5 sessions, I realized I could have bought a really nice book and stopped going.

Good one! And good point! My co-pay also just went up because I changed to a different medical plan. Now you got me thinking. Stop going to therapy and buy books with the money instead. Hmmmm.
