Do you just? 😺 I know the general range for individuals, but still need to double check if I’ve got a special print in the mix.

can't say as to special prints, but that copy of tenth planet is averaging $20-$30 on ebay rn fuuuuck me.

(I have some hardcovers, don't wanna know what they're soaking for...)

Oh hardbacks would be another category! Mine are in decent nick for what they are, rubbish paper to begin with. Same goes for my DAWs.

back in...fuck, 2010? When moffat was running his first season as showrunner I found a copy of Decalog III in a bidding war at $300. Holy shit. I paid $14 for mine at angus & robertson back in the day

(prices have since dropped back down but daaaman)
