Hopefinder Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 I already paid for it but the seller wants me to be sure. What do you guys think? It was ridiculously expensive but I want it for my collection 0.0 2
Frustration Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 I can't confirm if it's authentic, that's not Brandon's current signature, but it could be a precurser. However if it is real that's an increadible find.
Hopefinder Posted May 10, 2022 Author Posted May 10, 2022 It does seem like an early permutation of his current signature...and it definitely looks like his handwriting.and something he would say. 1
Green Hoodie Mistborn he/him Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 I'm always skeevy about 3rd party sellers of "rare items" with no traced provenance myself. It does look like his writing, but ... again I'd be wary personally. dunno, sometimes team Sanderson trolls the boards so one of them might pop in to give you more peace of mind or whatnot, but I wouldn't spend a lot on it myself. I've also been told I have trust issues 1
Frustration Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 I'd deffinatly get another opinion on this. @Chaos I hope summoning you here is okay. You've known Brandon for a long time, what are your thoughts? 1

Hopefinder Posted May 11, 2022 Author Posted May 11, 2022 O.o it was um.... $1500...... pretty much my whole book budget for the year. Will that stop me from buying more? Realistically probably not but it was a sickening amount of money. I'm not rich... That being said it went to a good cause. An avid book collector in Utah was supporting this little book store through the pandemic and then they ran on some hard times so the book store was selling their books for them without charging commission. Made me feel less sick about spending that kind of money. 4
Green Hoodie Mistborn he/him Posted May 11, 2022 Posted May 11, 2022 honestly, when you first started talking I thought it was more than that. I would have even considered $1500 for a legit #6 Sanderson signed copy great find! I'm happy for you and your library! so glad that Dragonsteel and Peter have given you peace of mind! 1
Hopefinder Posted May 16, 2022 Author Posted May 16, 2022 Thanks!! I'm so so excited about it!!! I spoke to the seller quite a bit too and I really like them.
