How about Luke Jermay's "Building Blocks" (not the extended dance remix)?

I recently found a 1947 hardcover of "Professional Magic for Amateurs" in relatively good condition (the corners are a bit worn) in a collection of books given to me by an old friend. Just wondering if it's a terribly hard find and how much it's worth. I did see that the Vancouver Magic Circle has a few in their library reserve but they didn't have a price listed.
Thanks in advance! |

Does anyone know what 'The Man Who Was Erdnase' (Whaley, Gardner & Busby) goes for nowadays?

A regular edition of "The Man Who Was Erdnase" goes for between $70.00 - $100.00 from a knowledgeable seller.
On ebay you may see folks trying to get upwards of $130.00 for a regular edition......but this price is too high, and few of them sell. I have a couple, and I paid $80.00 for one in excellent condition, the other (still in shrinkwrap) I paid $95.00 for. The deluxe edition(s) are all over the map price-wise.....worth whatever somebody can be enticed to pay. |

I've got a copy of The Annals of Conjuring by Sidney Clarke, the one published by Magico in 1983. In excellent condition. Anyone have an idea what it might be worth?

It's gone now.
BTW, the info I posted was accurate as of April 2010. The economy has really tanked the value of collectibles. Example -- 2 years ago, a set of Paul Fox cups (by Danny Dew) in excellent condition would have brought upwards of $500. Now they sell for about half that. Books and posters are performing about as well.

That's a bit lower than it would have gone for about 5 years ago.

I'll say.
As part of the same Martinka auction, a set "Soirees Fantastiques" went for $811, and an entire set of the Albo books went for $1,895. Definitely a sign of the times... |

Somebody out there recently spent $7500 for a poster at a Potter auction, so someone has deep pockets.
