I have now sold this set, so Becca you can take it off the list, thanks.

My mega Lettered Edition set for sale now also includes the matching letter of "The Best of Subterranean" collection, containing a Twilight Zone script by GRRM. Sub Press didn't offer that particular book to lettered set owners first, and I didn't see the email for 40 minutes and missed out initially. But when a lettered Best of Sub became available, Bill at Sub Press kindly kept me mind. http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/272816634592?

Becca was referring to set sold by Camelot Books for around $20k, see starting on page 32 of this thread. eBay set you mention talked about on page 34.

Knight of the Seven Kingdoms won't exactly match the main series, since it will be "slightly oversize" and there are 750 numbered editions instead of 500 or 448. Funny how it keeps increasing. Who wants to bet on 750 numbereds of Winds of Winter now?

I consider it a part of the overall ASoIaF series, yes, but then I also consider Rogues one too since it has a ASoIaF story/history lesson in it. (Even if it's an abridged story that will be published in full eventually in the GRRMarillion or whatever, which will undoubtedly have a $1k+ Sub Press lettered edition...) But then I'm also trying to get all GRRM books of my matching letter I can.

It seems the only new art might be new endsheets, but it doesn't really say they'll be illustrated. And of course we've been promised illustrated endsheets several times before that didn't happen.

The lettered edition of Rogues was $750 too, but housed in a traycase not just a slipcase like Knights will be. Not that that excuses it... Have we heard when Rogues is supposed to ship? Haven't seen anything on it in a long time.

Got my lettered copy of AGoT Subpress today. Lettereds shipped first this time. The lettered is supposed to have an extra full-color piece, like the last two books were supposed to but didn't. But hey, maybe the third time's the charm. Here are the 4 color interior illustrations in the lettered: Vol. 1, after page 192: Fold-out color illustration of Bran and his direwolf Vol. 1, after page 494: Fold-out color illustration of the Vale of Arryn Vol. 2, after page 296: single-page color illustration of Catelyn meeting with Walder Frey Vol. 2, after page 472: single-page color illustration of Riverrun

Yeah, the book collector in me just couldn't be the person who buys one and breaks the set. And no MM Clash of Kings has ever sold for near that price. Maybe $500-800.

German seller sellling MM GoT and CoK #196, and potentially breaking them up: http://www.ebay.com/itm/George-R-R-Martin-A-GAME-OF-THRONES-Meisha-Merlin-signed-ltd-ed-196-500-/291405835364?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43d9242c64 http://www.ebay.com/itm/George-R-R-Martin-A-CLASH-OF-KINGS-Meisha-Merlin-signed-ltd-ed-196-500-/291405850247?hash=item43d9246687 MM GoT has consistently sold for higher than that, but it's been a while...

It didn't sell. It didn't meet the reserve price. Probably hard to get whatever price the seller wants. People with that kind of money to spend probably don't want a broken set.

I sold a lettered GoT by itself for $4600 about a year and a half ago (during the HBO TV season), so that was a definite decline.

They made more money. And I'm sure they'll still do it for books 6-7. Given everything else they've done, I wouldn't be totally shocked if they went back and reprinted numbers #449-500 for books 3-5.

Lettered Sub Press Clash of Kings for sale from Camelot, doesn't say what letter: http://camelotbooks.com/news/archive-date/2013/07

PM'ed you.

Letter Z of GoT was the one I sold last year: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Game-of-Thrones-LETTERED-EDITION-Meisha-Merlin-George-R-R-Martin-rarest-Fine-/271180539576?pt=Antiquarian_Collectible&hash=item3f239ea6b8

The owner of A Clash of Kings XX posted in the comments on GRRM's blog here two years ago: http://grrm.livejournal.com/279255.html

The 10% final final fee caps out when the sales price hits $2,500 ($250 fee), so for selling a lettered set for five digits that makes the fee fairly cheap. No cap on the PayPal fee of course, but you might have that selling anywhere.

I agree and I keep mine with the dust jacket spines facing out. No design consistency. Storm and Feast have the title text running horizontal, but Dance they switched to vertical. With Feast they switched orientation of GRRM's name. Storm and Feast have the art expanding across the dj spine, Dance does not. Different color slipcases. I wouldn't call that matching, not even close.

With an increase of supply, value can go down regardless of what number you have.

I keep wondering if their Clash will finally be the one without something wrong with it, since they screwed up on something on all the other books. Then I remembered they already did something wrong on Clash (intentionally) by raising the quantity of numbered editions from 448 to 500.

I guess new-season time is really the best time to sell. :)

Selling my full matching numbered set with future rights (and the bookmarks and chapbooks): http://www.ebay.com/itm/271338446141?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 Decided I didn't need lettered and numbered sets. :) I was going to wait until the TV series came back but I decided to see if the holiday shopping season is a good time to sell too.

And CoK #303 just showed up on Abebooks a few days ago: http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=10458821936&searchurl=kn%3Dmeisha%2Bmerlin%26sts%3Dt%26tn%3Dclash%2Bof%2Bkings
