Marwyn the Mage Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 The auction is over, but as with unbroken lettered edition, the unbroken limiteds are rare aswell..http://cgi.ebay.com/Clash-Kings-George-R-R-Martin-Limited-Edition-Set-/120757429238?_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D2%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D1873640832293900533#ht_1187wt_1270 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryOfTime Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I won my set just a few days before this auction ended for $3,500. Glad I got mine for $1k cheaper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtDayne Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 And one sold about a month ago for 2,600. Crazy stuff. I thought that was high at the time. I was wrong. Also, did your set show up yet? That Feast signature page isn't right, but it might just be a generic image they found online and put on the listing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the one from my current set I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtDayne Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 The Tom Canty Signature should be at the top of the page, above the George R.R. Martin signature and over the wing of the top bird. Under George's signature is the book number. At least that is the way it was on both copies I have seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just e-mailed the seller, that would be weird if the signature wasn't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtDayne Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Well, good luck with it. Worst case maybe you can contact Canty and get him to sign it if you pay shipping costs. I can't find any website, but you might be able to have SubPress put you in touch with him.My own copy has an issue as well, there is a bit of "water damage" if you will. I think the ink was still wet on some of the initial glossy pages when they were put together, as I can't imagine how somebody would have spilled a bit of water on the pages. Brand new book when I got it, so I know it was a manufacturer defect and not a previous owner. Unfortunately I just recently purchased, so I'm pretty sure a replacement is out of the question, so I just deal with it. All this is to say that the quality control at Sub Press is not flawless.

They are going to contact Sub. Press to see how they can remedy the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtDayne Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Well, let me know what they say. I would be shocked if Sub Press still has back up copies sitting around, but if they do I might contact to get my own issue corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryOfTime Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Hopefully they do,if not I guess they would just send it off to Tom Canty to have him sign it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword of the Morning Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 John Kuenzig has a pretty stellar reputation in the collectible book market. I'm pretty sure he will make this right for you. Shouldn't be too much trouble for them to contact Tom Canty to sign this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteryOfTime Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Just an updated. I received back my copy of AFFC from Tom Canty and he signed it and remarqed it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryOfTime Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Actually another update, I had just thought he had remarqued the signature sheet but I just found out that he did more than just one sketch. He actually did six all together! I took photos of them and uploaded them to my photbucket album here: www.photobucket.com/FFC370 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtDayne Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Very cool. Now you might have the most valuable copy out there. Definitely unique, at the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
