Any estimates on the price of a Mister Slaughter Lettered? In my many years of collecting I’m yet to see one for sale.

Somewhat difficult to say due to the lack of comparable sales. There are lettered editions of The Queen of Bedlam, The River of Souls and Freedom of the Mask for sale on Abe Books for $819 each. Perhaps you already knew that.
Even the limited edition of Mister Slaughter brings a premium and rarely comes up for sale. It was limited to 274 copies which is the lowest limitation of the Matthew Corbett series.
Like you, I have not seen a sale of the lettered edition of Mister Slaughter.
That would make it priceless, no?
The only one I can remember seeing for sale was on eBay around December 31, 2015. I know this, because I posted it about it in this thread.
It was a PC copy, the seller was asking $700, and the consensus here was that no one would pay that much for a PC. I assume it sold, but I don't remember.

I sold a numbered one for nearly $400 I believe and that was a few years back. I've never seen a Lettered one.
I remember seeing that copy! Unfortunately, it was listed and sold about a month before I started collecting lettered editions of the Corbett series. I don’t know whether I would have paid $700 at the time, but I would certainly pay that now.
I think that’s the only copy I have ever seen for sale. And I know that there are many collectors with every lettered edition in the series – except for that one. So I have to think that someone brought up a few copies and is holding onto them, for some reason.
That actually happened with the Lettered edition of Blackout, by Connie Willis. Three or four copies came onto the market on eBay about six months ago, all from the same seller.

If my Baal were letter O, I’d swap you, but unfortunately it isn’t - I just checked.

Thank you all for the replies. The reason I’m asking is because I was lucky enough to acquire Mister Slaughter PC Lettered Edition in a rather large sale. There are a few books that I am looking for and if anyone can help me obtain them or has them for trade I would love to work something out.

Do you know if all contributors sign or just the editors?
AFAIK, they all sign. Tom told me part of the reason publication isn't until October 1 is because of the time it takes to get the signature sheets mailed around and returned.
