I thought perhaps I'd missed some difference(s) when I was looking at the eBay pics...good to know I didn't. With no differences between the books, I'm not sure why one would pay for more a lettered...
Ok, thanks...higher than I was hoping, unfortunately... But then insurance usually is. :-(
So I don't have to give them my personal info and be presumably deluged with followups, can someone give me a ballpark figure on how much they're paying through the above company, Collectibles...
I'm not the King-sig expert that many around here are, but that one looks good to me.
I'm with the others that future value has no real bearing on my buying choices...however...
1). You mention that you will have to borrow money(". . . borrow THOUSANDS . . .") -- everyone needs to...
I wonder if the RW stands for Robert Weinberg...?
I have to agree with the others...there are a number of ways to achieve what you want without mutilating your book and destroying its value. Good luck.
There're a number of eBay auctions for them as well...here's one:

1st Q: Near Fine / Near Fine (NF/NF) -- assumes book and dj have dents in same spots
2nd Q: Fine/Fine (F/F), slipcase has two dents

On an anecdotal level, I have had two books from prominent publishers that were shrinkwrapped that had mildew issues. I've also read comments from book conservators that this issue does exist. To...
I wouldn't...contrary to what your guy says, that's a good way to trap moisture and ruin a book. That's why shrinkwrap should always be removed, and bags never sealed.
Besides, hermetically...
I have just about every book that Joe's released, but few lettered so I probably wouldn't be much help.
If you are asking for it to be signed to you then I'd say its fine.[/QUOTE]
Just be aware you're significantly diminishing the resale value of the s/l by doing so. If that's of no concern, it's...
The trick, of course, is folding it an adequate number of times so that it is exactly the height of the space between the very bottom of the board and the bottom of the book block… In other words,...
R.e. The book block...yes, if you're referring to the sagging of the spine common to very thick books, so that it bows out because of the weight, then here is what I do: I take a piece of paper and...
Mine has a small bump on one of the top corners, but is otherwise in Fine shape...no unfinished areas. The picture here exaggerates it a bit, but you get the idea:

Think of it as backup information for your family.
If something were to happen to you, would they know enough about what you have in your collection to sell them at the best price?[/QUOTE]
