'It' uncorrected page proof: scarcity and value?

Post by Finders_books »

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.

Cheers.

Depends if you paid $600 or 1,600 :)

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 go :D
