Hya, I had some housekeeping within my boxes and found some stuff I might decide to trade (I am not looking for money therefore I prefer a trade!).

The first one is a lot with Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea 1st edition.
The lot is composed by:
The 1st edition boxed set - from the kickstarter, which means signed and numbered (inside the box and in each volume); in addition there is a letter from Jeff who thanks me some something ... actually I don't remember what I did to deserve such a letter (it is likely a silly thing...)
An original artwork by Ian Baggley (2009) which is published in volume 1
A set of 1st edition adventures, some are singed and numbered

In the following posts some piccies of the whole lot.

What would you think the lot is worth?

Thanks a lot in advance and ciaooo

This Kickstarter set and additional items are probably quite valuable, especially with the extras and the signed/limited items it includes.

Estimated value would be around $250-350, perhaps more.  There haven't been many of the box sets available, since the initial release, and this is a unique combination.

To be honest I thought the most appealing part of the lot was the awesome original artwork... from your comments, you see it as an add-on. That one costed me more than the rest all together...

Yes, that is quite a unique item.

I wasn't sure if you purchased it as part of the Kickstarter or separately, but either way, it could increase the value of the lot significantly.  I'm not familiar with what Ian's charcoal artwork sells for, thus the reason I mentioned that the lot could be worth more than the estimate.

It's hard to say if it would be better to include the artwork with the lot or not.  It would depend on whether interested parties were looking for all of these items together or just the artwork.
