Legends of the Longbow full set
« on: August 01, 2019, 01:47:23 AM »
   What would a full set of Legends of the Longbow (29 volumes?), like brand new, all signed and numbered by Glenn be worth these days?

There is a set on Ebay signed and numbered with a "buy it now" price of $1075.00.

I don't know what they are worth but expect they will be worth more if you sign them too.
If I keep my level of appreciation higher than my level of expectation, I have a good day.

 The set I need to sell are Publishers Proofs. They are the final proof copies in hard cover just like the limited edition sets sold. These are new and have never been read. Very few were printed but all signed by Glenn.

$20 a piece is $580
$35 a piece is $1015
$725 is the median of the high/low values 

These will appeal to mostly traditional bow-hunters who also like and want to read; that's a narrow market for a 29-book collection.  Even those who do like and want to read may not necessarily want to read all of what's in the collection.  Also, I would guess that most of these readers already have the majority of the titles that they want in their collection which they've picked up along the way over time. 

I'd guess that unless you find the just right collector, your probably looking at $550-700 shipped.  I could be off in value, but these numbers seem reasonable to me.

Definitely worth more than my set of unnumbered and signed.
