a game of Thrones book looking to sell a
rarest edition rarest Edition ever made

why would you read the book when you can
just watch the TV because the book is
generally better Bo I'm just Bost you
can't look at Khaleesi in the book I
[Laughter]
have a game of Thrones first edition
signed copy by george RR martin i'm
looking to get around $2,500 today if
i'm able to make a sale today i'm gonna
use that money to put towards my hobby
which is collecting high-end sports
cards i love the game of thrones where'd
you get it
a friend of mine had a little money
issues and he was selling his collection
of first edition books I'd seen the show
knew his massively popular figured this
was a good one to pick up the game of
Thrones
really is an amazing series it'll go
down in history as one of the most
popular series ever produced
absolutely it looks like amazing
condition do you know if it's the first
printing of the first edition this is
the first print of the first edition
they made 552 were lettered 448 were
numbered this is a numbered copy and it
has been properly stored since the day
he got it so how much you want for this
thing I'm looking for 2,500 all right so
I have no idea what this is worth I
really don't and you want 2,500 bucks
which is a lot for a modern bar so let
me give someone a call absolutely I'll
be right back
this is super cool it's an amazing
condition but I just don't know the
price on it so I've called in Rebecca
because when it comes to the game of
books she is definitely the queen so who
was like the really big mean guy the
hound yeah are you talking about a book
yes TV show okay sorry
oh yeah I don't know if I read the book
you should read the book yeah I mean
dude is there an audio version yes oh
I'm all that'll take forever to get
through I've got a
okay but this book this book is pretty
cool it's it's signed by the author 452
number 252 lettered alright what I'm
about to say is not gonna surprise you
at all but I'm a fantasy nerd and so
I've got a lot of things to say about
this okay this was really a big deal in
the fantasy genre because it's very
brutal you have the first printing in
1986 this edition comes out like right
the turn of the century so you have
essentially 2000-2001 all of the the
illustrations are from 2000 so this was
not really the first edition of it this
is not the first edition okay it is what
we call a signed a limited edition so
signed signed by the author and by the
illustrators and it's limited ie there
were only 500 copies total this is
number 257 some people consider this
book the holy grail of Game of Thrones
collecting the first printing there were
a decent amount of copies at least of
the u.s. printing and so you can still
kind of get that but this you know you
know there are only 448 copies floating
around and there are a lot more fans
than that so when this first comes out
it was sold for $250 it's worth a lot
more than that now okay so what is it
worth I know that copies of this sell
for 2000 2500 I know you can get that
you could get more though you could
legitimately put the price up 3500 4000
see what happens because right now
people want this alright thanks
alright take care alright so what's your
bottom line on it uh she says 2500 is
where it's at could go a lot higher I
think it's a really fair price
considering how popular this shows there
goes right around 2500 if I'm lucky I
might go get more you know I'll give you
1,500 bucks it's more than any other
book dealers gonna give you I think it's
a pretty safe bet with how popular the
show is it's still a bet 2000 would be a
year 15 under bucks
1800 I'll give you 1,600 bucks
not a penny bar you got a deal
sweet you'll go write them up just leave
it right here you never do anything
Harrison's always pay their debts
you
