That's pretty close to last few I've seen sell, that seems to be about to going rate for one at the moment.

Yes, I think we're slowly going to reach the value of the other super deluxes signed by Christopher, the '82 Silmarillion and the '87 Hobbit...

Haven't seen an '82 S come up in ages, hard to tell what the market is for it. (And I know several who are eagerly awaiting one)

This is the reason why I haven’t even bothered with the UK stuff or deluxe editions as of yet. It seems the American stuff is the only things worth getting right now for the price + shipping lol

Have to disagree with you there, these items are the higher end of the market, collectors who are after these are most likely willing to pay the shipping cost...i.e. someone who has been waiting for a particular item to come up most likely won't be deterred by the cost of shipping if they really want it.

Yeah, sure.
I meant the value of a '82 S last time we did see one signed, beyond the £2K mark, even far more than that.
My prediction is the S&G and CoH SD market value will overtake the £2K mark soon.

Well that I understand but that’s just for the hardcore few honestly. Such prices alienate 99% of collectors. It’s like that recent $1500 release by folio directed only at whales and resellers. They know it’s gonna sell out instantly because of that. Personally I don’t care much about those. If I’m ever dropping 2k on a book or more, it’s gonna be one of the 1st editions like a 1st print or something lol. But I get every collector is different, and some have a lot more money to throw at such things.

On This Day

Folio 75 from 2022
