Hello, friends,
I recently purchased an uncorrected page proof copy of 'It' for my personal collection, and I'm hoping to learn more about its scarcity and potential value, as there doesn't seem to be much info online. I've heard there were possibly only 50 copies printed? Any kind of insight would be greatly appreciated.

The last sale at Betts was $900 in December 2020. Don't know of any recent sales as I don't follow proofs.

Thanks for the reply and insight. Seems like my risky purchase paid off -? although I had a feeling it wasn't much of a risk when I bought it, considering how few of these there seem to be out there.Mr. Rabbit Trick wrote: ↑Fri Oct 21, 2022 10:53 pm The last sale at Betts was $900 in December 2020.

I don't like to divulge what I pay for books, as I also sell, but I'll do very well on this one day if I decide to let it goTheCollector wrote: ↑Sat Oct 22, 2022 11:00 amDepends if you paid $600 or 1,600Finders_books wrote: ↑Sat Oct 22, 2022 8:25 amThanks for the reply and insight.
