The Collectible George R.R. Martin

[Rugger]

Yes, I am a member of westeros.org. You already have me on your list under for sale or trade. I actually haven't had much action on that sight, thats why I decided to list on this site as well. I already have an offer from a member of this site that I am currently considering.

[Rugger]

Ya, I have thought about putting them on ebay. However, I find selling on ebay to be a pain in the butt and I would prefer to sell to someone from this site or the westeros site.

[Rugger]

On an unrelated note and just to get my fifth post, can someone tell me how you are posting with the previous quote you are addressing in white? Thanks.

Well I feel sheepish! It still didn't work. I am such a Rookie!!! I will figure it out. Lol

[Lurker]

I just got an e-mail saying that the GoT I ordered was "lost in the mail" and given a full refund.
Curses.

Well that sucks! Maybe you'll get lucky and find another?

[Lurker]

Thanks. Yeah, I'll keep my eye out, but finding another one at 100 pounds may take awhile.

This could be fun:

I see the World of Ice and Fire book has been delayed until next year, but we at least still get the Dangerous Women anthology in December.

[Booknutt]

I'm reading a Dangerous Women egalley right now. Will let y'all know how the GRRM story is when I get to it.

[becca69]

How did you get an egalley?

[Booknutt]

I worked in the book biz for 10 years and I still have connections.

[becca69]

Have you seen this which was posted on GRRMs blog? He made me pre-order it :rofl:

http://www.amazon.com/Game-Thrones-Complete-Limited-Exclusive/dp/B00DY9GSAU/ref=sr_1_3?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1376601653&sr=1-3&keywords=game+of+thrones+season+3

[Scoogs]

I don't usually get the limited edition season box sets, but that one has been tempting me.

[Booknutt]

I finished Dangerous Women last night. Typical anthology. Some really strong stories, some not so strong.

Martin's contribution was probably my least favorite ASoIF story to date. It's written as a history instead of a narrative which may have turned me off. And Martin's trademark character overload was in full force here. And several characters named similarly didn't help.

Somewhat disappointing for me. But for those that are really into the history of Westeros it may be more enjoyable.

Although it looks cool, I am trying to hold off. I know what's going to happen...once all seasons of the series get released on Blu-Ray, they will release the "Ultimate Edition" that contains all the seasons as well as a bunch of extras. I'll wait for that one :biggrin:

[frik]

My idea exactly.
And - I never even started reading this series. I bought the A game of Thrones UK HC (1st/1st - Jim Burns cover) way back in 1996. I had read Martin before and this looked like an interesting read as well. At the time I thought this would be a trilogy -didn't we all??- and was pretty sure around the year 2000 the series would be complete. And here we are, 2013 - and two (?) more books to go. And yes, all my books are still unread. Plus i have begun collecting the SubPress limiteds.....And US 1st/1sts....

Now I do hope I'm going to like this series.....

I'll bet that you do. I read them all last summer and liked them a lot. And that is not usually a genre that I enjoy. It really surprised me at how much I enjoyed them. Can't wait for book 6!

That makes sense if he publishes the longer version of it in A World of Ice and Fire. That book is being formatted as if it had been written by the Maesters recording the history of the realm.

Thanks for the review! I'm only on book two, so it will be a while before I get around to reading it.

[sgc1999]

This is a very cool history of the Realms for fans of AGOIAF.

So Bob, have you started an ultimate GRRM collection yet?? ;)

[fearless-freak]

okay, so my mum recently watched season 1 of AGoT and she asked me about Jon Snow's parentage if i knew anything about it and i replied the only person who knows the answer is George RR Martin at the moment and she recently borrowed my copies of the books to read

[carlosdetweiller]

So Bob, have you started an ultimate GRRM collection yet?? ;)

No. I feel like I am so late to this party and prices seem so high, especially for the s/l's. I have managed to get a nice (unsigned) set of the five trade editions and that will have to do for now. But I have really enjoyed seeing your collection grow and it makes me envious.

Why thanks! Although you are good at finding deals so never say never. I saw a whole S/L set go for under $2700 not too long ago. You just gotta look around and strike when no one is looking ;) - you know, like that awesome DT2 S/L you found... I'm soooo jealous!

Nice addition Becca.
Something about that cover art feels a bit sci-fi.

[Scoogs]

Not sure if it's a good price, but there's a collection ASOIAF ARCs currently on ebay.

[Booknutt]

That's my old set. :/ Minus the UK preview of AFfC preview.
Guess he's flipping them.
And charging more than twice what he got them for.

[sgc1999]

I have a rare signed UK Clash of Kings 1st/1st in F/F condition for sale or trade in the region of $400

You can't actually purchase unless you are attending Capclave in a few weeks. If there are any left, they will go on sale then. I've got my two copies ordered already since I'll be attending.

Anyone else going to this?

[Comrade Alex]

Not sure why, I was able to place the order while I'm not going to Capclave....

[ELazansky]

The website says that some signed and unsigned copies are on sale now through the website. I was able to order a signed one as well.

"As the question has been asked several times: A small number of copies of The Skin Trade (both Signed & Trade) have been pre-allocated to this website. No matter how many copies are sold at Capclave, you will receive whatever you pre-order here."

Hey Eric, I was told that we could order there or pick up at Capclave. They gave the impression that only Capclave members could order at this point. You should make sure that your order is valid just to be sure...

The website originally said that, but it looks like it changed this weekend. I took the chance and placed an order. My Paypal receipt says Signed Hardcover. Guess I'll wait and see what happens. Worst that can happen is that they cancel the order.

[becca69]

Fingers crossed that you get a signed one. They kept telling me the signed were for members only and if any were left over, then they would be released. Maybe they changed their minds... it's not a very elaborate set up, I believe the Paypal goes to one person, and he handles the orders.

I think there are at least 500 attendees and it would suck if someone wasn't able to get a copy. I didn't take any chances and pre-ordered.

[ELazansky]

Does anyone have a list of all of the Martin signed/limited editions (not ASOIAF)?

[becca69]

Here are the one's I can think of:

Dying of the Light
Fevre Dream
The Armageddon Rag
Shadow Twin
Hunter's Run
Starlady/Fast Friend
Songs the Dead Men Sing
Tuf Voyaging
Portraits of His Children
Quartet
GRRM: A RRetrospective
Skin Trade
The Pear-Shaped Man (100 hardcover copies)

I think that's it.

Cool. I was starting to make a list, and all of those are on it, along with some other anthologies, Like Night Visions 5.

[sgc1999]

don't forget Legends.

[ELazansky]

don't forget Legends.

Thanks for reminding me of that - I have that one - I was trying not to count the anthologies as much, since I have a lot of them already with King and/or Gaiman signatures.

[becca69]

The list I made was GRRM only :)

[becca69]

Here is the email I just received after sending them a question:

"Eric,

I can confirm that your pre-order for 1 copy of the signed/numbered
hardcover edition of The Skin Trade has been received and confirmed.

The wsfapressbooks.org website is specifically for people who will not
be attending Capclave. Members of the convention have been given other
instructions on how they can pre-order.

Thanks for your order. It should be shipped out to you on Tuesday,
October 15th."

[becca69]

That's great. I ordered there before they gave a link for Capclave and I was told I could pick up my books at the con. Members also receive a discount which has to be refunded to me. Of course it goes against everything they said before about being exclusive :rolleyes:

[Scoogs]

Thanks for that link, I also ordered a copy a few days ago.

Maybe they should post part of their response to Eric on the website to make things a little clearer!

[ELazansky]

Some nice S/Ls Eric. I need to pick up a Shadow Twin. I'm still not sure why they decided to do both Shadow Twin and Hunter's Run?

And I'm off to Capclave tomorrow. Hope to have some good stuff to show and tell here come Monday!

[sgc1999]

I have a mint s/l Hunters run for sale if your interested? If so shoot me an offer.

[Ari_Racing]

Oh, fuck! I've just seen this thread and missed the Skin trade signed edition. :(

[becca69]

So I think I can get at least 8 books signed over the weekend (2 signings, 2 each between my husband and I). Which books do you think would be best from my list? I'm having a hard time deciding.

1. AGOT US 1st
2. AGOT US ARC
3. AGOT US Jon Snow 1st
4. AGOT UK Blue Slipcase 1st
5. ACOK US 1st
6. ACOK UK 1st
7. ASOS ARC
8. ASOS US 1st
9. ASOS UK 1st
10. AFFC US 1st with Unreleased DJ Proof
11. AGOT UK white reprint edition
12. AGOT UK Collector's edition with leaf/tree design
13. AGOT US Barnes & Noble slipcase edition
14. A Song for Lya 1st paperback edition
15. Blue Wyndhaven ARC
16. Fevre Dream 1st

[becca69]

Oh, fuck! I've just seen this thread and missed the Skin trade signed edition. :(

Ari - they will release any unsold copies after the convention.

[Ari_Racing]

Oh, that's a very good news! :) THank you!

As for which ones to get signed, I'd get these ones:

1. AGOT US 1st
2. AGOT US ARC
12. AGOT UK Collector's edition with leaf/tree design
15. Blue Wyndhaven ARC
16. Fevre Dream 1st
4. AGOT UK Blue Slipcase 1st
7. ASOS ARC
10. AFFC US 1st with Unreleased DJ Proof

[becca69]

Good choices Ari. Anyone else have an opinion?

[ELazansky]

My two cents

1. AGOT US 1st
2. AGOT US ARC
3. AGOT US Jon Snow 1st
5. ACOK US 1st
6. ACOK UK 1st
8. ASOS US 1st
12. AGOT UK Collector's edition with leaf/tree design
13. AGOT US Barnes & Noble slipcase edition

I would not get the AGoT UK slipcased copy signed. You know how much they go for, and not everyone wants signed copies (if you ever decided to sell it)

[becca69]

Hmmm, good point Eric. What about AFFC? Then I would have a full set of US 1sts signed.

[ELazansky]

Hmmm, good point Eric. What about AFFC? Then I would have a full set of US 1sts signed.

That would be cool. Think about how awesome it would be to have all seven 1sts signed one day...

You're the best! I've just ordered one copy

[Comrade Alex]

--- The Skin Trade ---

Just got news from SubPres

WSFA Press, who did those nifty little hardcovers by Connie Willis (Fire Watch) and Jeff Vandermeer (The Three Quests of the Wizard Sarnod) has now published a new edition of George R. R Martin's classic werewolf novella, The Skin Trade. We will be getting in copies of both the limited and trade editions (more of the latter than the former), so please order asap, and be in the first batch of copies we receive.

Limited: 500 signed numbered hardcover copies: $35
Trade: Unsigned hardcover: $25

Important Note: You may order as many copies of the trade hardcover as you like, but households may only order one copy of the limited edition.

http://subterraneanpress.com/store/product_detail/the_skin_trade

[WeDealInLead]

A Clash of Kings is open to the public from SP.

[Comrade Alex]

Thank you sir!
Ordered.

A Clash of Kings is open to the public from SP.

[cit74]

Already sold out - missed it, oh well...damn west coast and sleep

[F1racefan]

are they gone already? I don't see any place to order?

[cit74]

Btw if you missed the signed skin trade on sub press site - you can actually order it directly from wsfa site for only $35 - so cheaper than sub press.

http://www.wsfapressbooks.org/?wpsc-product=the-skin-trade

I order a trade and signed copy. Guess I will see if they still had signed copies available - it didn't say sold out yet - so fingers crossed. Btw both the trade and signed are limited to 500

[becca69]

Sub Press might have some extra ACoK after they ship the orders. So keep checking the site once they announce that.

BTW - if the signed Skin Trade is sold out from WSFA, the trade is exactly the same except the limitation page of course ;)

[ELazansky]

are they gone already? I don't see any place to order?

They sold out in roughly 45 minutes, which is about 44 minutes longer than I thought it would take.

[becca69]

Nice!

Hmmm, wonder if they are shipping in number order? I requested 320 to match my Sub Press set and I haven't received anything yet.

[cit74]

if you goto the wsfa site - just change the option from trade to signed hardcover - they still have them listed on their site for $35

Nice, #49 arrived today.
I'm hoping they have a few extra dust jackets. Mine got a bit mangled in shipping.
The bubble mailers they are using are barely large enough to hold the book.

Hello guys,
Sorry in advance if I am posting this in the wrong thread. =)

I have the hardcover editions of the books ‘A Game of Thrones’ and ‘A Clash of Kings’ for sale. The books are the UK 2011 hardback editions with the ISBN numbers 9780007459483 and 9780007459452 . These books had a very limited print run and hence are collector’s items for Game of Thrones book readers. The books come from a non-smoking house.
If you are interested in one book or both books, please let me know. If you would like to see more detailed pictures of the books, don’t hesitate to contact me.

Yes mine is signed - so far it's the only one. There is another collector in Canada with 2 and the original painting. The collector with 4 is in England.

I thought I got the last copy for sale but then the guy in England talked Stephen into selling him the one he was going to keep.

Do you know if it was a first printing? If it was, that was a ridiculous selling price. I've been tempted to sell my first printing of the slipcased edition. Can't bring myself to part with it.

And it is gone - no surprise there.

[cit74]

One thing I realized yesterday (actually a few weeks ago) the camelot sale goes live a few minutes before the email comes through. I got the Harry potter set yesterday because I had checked the website around 650 pst - before I received the email - otherwise I would have probably missed it if I waited for the email. But I was driving to drop my car off at the shop and had no shot at this one (but I would have passed anyway - I know Eric might find that hard to believe :)).

[Lookwhoitis]

So do you guys think the Meisha Merlin books will retain value when the Sub Press versions come out?

[ELazansky]

So do you guys think the Meisha Merlin books will retain value when the Sub Press versions come out?

I think they will. I have heard some folks say that they will consider the SubPress releases of AGoT and ACoK as "reprints", since the original limiteds were the MM editions. I myself will be happy to have a complete 7 book set of the SP editions (6 matching and one PC) once it is all said and done. A "Master" set will have all 9 books total. Ka-ching!

[becca69]

I think A Game of Thrones will definitely keep it's value, just for the art alone... some people only bought the book because of it and don't collect GRRM. Clash is different, it comes up for sale a lot and the prices are all over the place unless you are talking a full matching set, which like DT are rare.

I'm just hoping to pick up MM Game so I will have the full 9 books since I won't have a matching set unless I can trade for the matching Storm.

Seeing your GRRM collection made me wonder. What anthologies have ASOIAF related stories in them?
I picked up Dangerous Women when it came out last month, but that's all I have. Are the 3 (?) Dunk and Egg stories the only other ones out there?
Where were those first published?

[fearless-freak]

Dunk and Egg were printed originally in Legends but he's on about releasing them in paperback and the fourth one might be called The She-Wolves of Winterfell which has been postponed whilst Martin completes The Winds of Winter.

The Hedge Knight was in Legends
The Sworn Sword was in Legends II
The Mystery Knight was in Warriors

[fearless-freak]

apparently there may be six to twelve more Dunk & Egg tales and possibly adapted into a prequel series

[becca69]

Does anyone live near GRRM's Jean Cocteau Theatre? He posted that there are still signed books available for sale but they don't ship. They also have books signed by DIANA GABALDON, S.M. STIRLING, MICHAEL CHABON, PAT CONROY, MELINDA SNODGRASS, CARRIE VAUGHN, DIANA ROWLAND, MEGAN LINDHOLM/ ROBIN HOBB, JOE S. LANSDALE, SAM SYKES, GARDNER DOZOIS, TRENT ZELAZNY, and NEIL GAIMAN.

If anyone is willing to pick up, I would love a copy of Dangerous Women!!

There may well be others I didn't spot.

[becca69]

Those are the UK trade editions. Looks like he has multiple Storm and Feast.

Patrick Rothfuss is having another huge auction for his charity - world builders - and has some ASOIF items up on auction on ebay. These are going to get pretty expensive i thinks.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Stark-Infantry-Shield-from-Game-of-Thrones-1-1-replica-from-Valyrian-Steel-/181298806124?pt=US_Fiction_Books&hash=item2a36403d6c

here is just one - but you can search the other world builder items to get an idea

[becca69]

I love Pat and World Builders! You can still get the shield from Valyrian Steel for $300 but obviously that wouldn't go to charity. I usually just donate some money and you get put into the lottery for books.

[cit74]

They do raise a ton of money - I donated last year (for the first time) - did not win any books - although the list of books is pretty impressive. My goal is to at least match my charitable donations from the previous year - so I have a long way to go. We usually do a lot for our local charities that help the community here. On a side note - sub press has limited copies of the skin game - signed/unsigned - at initial cost if anyone interested:

[herbertwest]

From the subterranean press newsletter :


If you failed to pick up a copy of the Signed, Limited Edition of George R. R. Martin's classic werewolf novella, The Skin Trade, the first time around, all is not lost. We've just received word that we'll be able to pick up additional copies, which we're more than happy to do.

About the Book:

Randi Wade's world is spiraling into a dark labyrinth of secrets and lies. Her only friend is keeping something from her. Innocent victims are being savagely attacked and left for dead, all but their skins. There is an eerie connection between the crime scenes and her own father's murder nearly twenty years before, unsolved to this day. Despite this, Chief of Police Joe Urquhart, her father's former partner and best friend, beckons her to drop the case, drop everything. Is he protecting her, or something else?

As the case unfolds, Randi is pulled ever closer to realizing her darkest fear: that werewolves do exist, and they'll do anything necessary to keep their secrets safe in this once quiet town... Even if it means killing their own. All the while, an eccentric but powerful family watches closely from inside the black iron gates of Blackstone Manor, as the horrendous truth behind it all begins to bubble toward the top.

Limited: 500 signed numbered hardcover copies: $35
Trade: Unsigned hardcover: $25

[becca69]

They also still have them here:

The slipcases for George R. R. Martin's A Clash of Kings are due to ship to us at the end of this month. Once they're in hand, we'll slot the title in our shipping schedule as quickly as possible.

Looking forward to getting this one in a month or so.

I also have a new addition on it's way that puts me one step closer to my set. :ninja:

[carlosdetweiller]

I'm fairly certain that long time fans and collectors of George R. R. Martin get tired of newbies asking questions like this but I really want to know: When can we expect Book 6 of Songs of Fire and Ice to be published?

LOL Bob - if you can get Mr. Martin to stop going to so many Conventions/Events, maybe he'll have a moment to finish The Winds of Winter??!! ;)

There is an excerpt if you haven't read it:
http://www.georgerrmartin.com/category/news/winds-of-winter-news/

(Oh and there is a ASOIAF story in the Dangerous Women anthology)

[fearless-freak]

i do believe that the one in Dangerous Women is She Wolves of Winterfell which is part of the Dunk and Egg tales

[Booknutt]

i do believe that the one in Dangerous Women is She Wolves of Winterfell which is part of the Dunk and Egg tales

Nope. It's a dry history of the war that took out the last of the dragons.

[fearless-freak]

i stand corrected

[Booknutt]

She Wolves got pushed back into another anthology. Can't remember which right now.

[fearless-freak]

right thanks

[Scoogs]

I'm reading A Dance with Dragons now, so he better hurry up!

Having said that...I know he gets a lot of pressure to write faster from fans and the fact that HBO will be caught up in another couple of seasons, but I'm actually ok with him taking the time he thinks the story needs.

My copy of ADWD and the others are/will be #11, so this seemed like a good fit if I couldn't get an exact match.

[Scoogs]

I almost forgot; I was able to get a replacement DJ for The Skin Trade, so a big thanks to WSFA for helping me out.

[carlosdetweiller]

Dang! Those are nice looking books. Congratulations.

I wish I wasn't already so late to the ASOFAI party. I think it is way too expensive to jump into the S/L's now. I am going to have to be happy with nice first trade editions.

[ELazansky]

Congrats on the SoS - I was thrilled when I was able to find a PC copy of that one.

[becca69]

Nice ASOS - congratulations!

(Bob - I think you could still jump in!)

[cit74]

Very nice addition - and bob I agree with becca - you could still jump in - becca was able to get my name out to a few people on the westeros site looking to sell their sets. I received another reply last week but had to turn it down since I already bought one.

[mistercrowley]

How much does a set usually go for (not counting the meisha merlin editions since sub press is re-doing them)? I'm interested as well

[cit74]

Well I just paid 5k for mine - and that was complete - included both meisha Merlin editions as well as the pre-ordered clash of kings. I know that camelot has sold partial sets for between 4500-5500 - so I was happy with full set at that price.

[fearless-freak]

holy shit, that rare?

its funny how most people remember the A Song of Ice & Fire and to an extent his other works but not a lot of people know about his Wild Cards

[Scoogs]

Thanks everyone. This was my third attempt to get a copy in the last few months, so I'm happy to have finally succeeded.

fearless-freak , the low limitation (448 copies) and still growing fan base brought in by the tv show have certainly pushed the prices up on these.

$5k is good for a matched set.
I was trying to figure out rough average estimates for the individual books based on ebay sales that I've seen and came up with:
AGOT(MM edition): $2000
ACOK(MM edition): $500
ASOS: $800
AFFC: $700
ADWD $700
ACOK(SP edition): $350 Not released yet, so I'm leaving it at issue price

That's $5050 for an unmatched set right there.
Of course those prices will vary quite a bit. ASOS alone has ranged from 700 to 1200 in the last couple of months.

[mistercrowley]

In that case I am looking for the most recent volume with rights to the next volume. What is the most recent release?

[becca69]

A Dance with Dragons will get you the rights as long as the seller owns them. Make sure they will release the number/rights to you before you purchase. Just having the book doesn't necessarily mean SP will give you the rights unlike Grant books.

I had a problem with Feast for Crows where the previous owner didn't release rights.

[mistercrowley]

Thanks Becca. If you know of anyone that is selling point them my way

[Scoogs]

I would also suggest confirming that they have the matching ACOK on preorder since it will be shipping soon.
Just to confuse things, ADWD will still be the key to number rights even after ACOK is released.

[Jud Crandall]

The WSFA page for The Skin Trade says that they have only 2 S/N/L books available. If my order went through, then they'd be down to one now, so I'd go for it if you are on the fence.

[becca69]

Thanks Becca. If you know of anyone that is selling point them my way

There is a running list at Westeros of books for sale. Right now there is a partial set with rights and there is also a full set - http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/topic/89257-numbersbooks-wanted-list-asoiaf-limited-editions/

If you are interested, I can PM them your info... just let me know.

[mistercrowley]

How much for the partial?

[mistercrowley]

I'm very interested and you can pm them my info

[becca69]

I'll send them a message... can you PM me your contact info?

[becca69]

Has anyone started collecting the Funko Pops? I have some of the exclusives - Headless Ned Stark, Beyond The Wall Jon Snow, B&N Daenerys and Battle Armor Tyrion.

Haha. Jacob and I saw it on Friday. He's got tons of Legos that have never been opened... and it's not me it's him. I think he's hoarding them until he's middle aged and will then sell them on Ebay - LOL.

hey becca, how much do you pay for your funko's?

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

They won't bankrupt me, I'm already there!

[becca69]

hey becca, how much do you pay for your funko's?

The new legacy figures were $19.95 from B&N. Although they are sold out most everywhere so aftermarket is insane. I also got 10% from my member discount. Still haven't located Tyrion.

The POPs are cheaper. They range from around $8 to $13, except for the limited exclusives like Headless Ned, which can be expensive.

[fearless-freak]
