Crop 1203 — Introduction

JoyalStack Price Guide TO USED MAGIC BOOKS

— Crop 1203 — Introduction

Putting a price on a magic book is far from being an exact science. Apart from the the book's content and its author, many factors must be considered: the edition, the condition of the book, the publication date, how many copies were printed, if it's still available or out of print, if an upcoming reprint was recently announced, the presence or lack of a dust jacket, if it's a signed copy, etc. You might also have some subjective criteria: perhaps you received the book as a gift, it was your first magic book, it reminds of a favorite lecture you attended, etc.

It goes without saying that evaluating a magic library is a time consuming process. Although we are dealing with magic books, there is no magic way to arrive easily at an exact value. However, hopefully, this guide will make the task easier for you.

In the current edition, named Crop 1203, nearly 10,000 prices were compiled for 7 time periods.

PERIOD COMPILATION OF... 1992+ July 1992 to December 2001 1,353 prices 2002+ January 2002 to December 2007 3,178 prices 2008 January to December 2008 516 prices 2009 January to December 2009 2,683 prices 2010 January to December 2010 672 prices 2011 January to December 2011 437 prices 2012 January to March 2012 826 prices

Note that lowest or highest prices have been dropped from the compilation. The same is true for books coming from prominent collections or offered by prestigious auctioneers.

Most values of this guide are presented as a range from low to high; for example, $6 ... $31. The figures on left generally apply to softcover editions, recent editions or reprints. The figures on the right are for hardcover editions with dust jackets, first or deluxe editions and signed copies.

If you are looking to buy a certain work but are not in a hurry, aim for the figures on the left side. Otherwise, go for the figures on the right side.

If you are a seller eager to sell, aim for the figures on the left side. Otherwise, go for the figures on the right side. You will also notice that values are given for different years (from 1992 to 2012). If you see an abrupt rise, it might mean that it's a worthwhile book that has recently gone out of print. On the other hand, if you see a sharp decline, it might mean that a reprint just came out. The changes through time will also tell you if the value is now stable or still volatile.

Keep in mind that, whatever values the guide suggests, you should by no means put aside your own evaluation.
