rare harry potter book first edition first聽聽
[7]
printing okay harry potter and the philosopher of聽
stone jk rowling she wrote most of it in a copy聽聽
[14]
shop and she became a multi-billionaire about聽
a story with a kid that carries around a stick
[23]
i'm here at the pawn shop聽
today to sell the first edition聽聽
[28]
of harry potter and the philosopher's stone聽
it's a first printing and it's signed by聽聽
[34]
j.k rowling the author i'm hoping to sell聽
the book today for ten thousand dollars
[43]
harry potter and the philosopher of stone it's聽
a story about a young boy he's uh when he turns聽聽
[48]
11 years old he finds out that he's actually a聽
wizard and needs to go to wizard school after the聽聽
[55]
book was released in 1997 kids fell in love with聽
it and it just went viral all around the world聽聽
[60]
they've done like i think eight movies plus there聽
was like some spin-off movies and it's amazing聽聽
[66]
how well this is done where did you get聽
this i bought it from the dealer in england聽聽
[73]
okay um looks like it's signed here yeah聽
and you got a certificate of authenticity聽聽
[80]
harry potter and the philosopher's stone signed by聽
jk rowling so it looks in really good shape okay聽聽
[89]
how much you want for it well i thought it might聽
be worth ten thousand okay uh maybe it is maybe聽聽
[97]
it's not i have no idea um but i have a very good聽
friend that will know everything about it she will聽聽
[103]
probably be really good with the signature she'll聽
know if it's first edition yeah which printing聽聽
[107]
and everything else like that yeah so just hang聽
out for a few minutes i will get her down here聽聽
[111]
and have her take a look at it okay all right i'll聽
be right back harry potter the kid with the stick
[121]
double ganger you told me you wanted me to look聽
at a signed copy so i thought i have a signed copy聽聽
[127]
for purposes of actually comparing the signature聽
the best thing to do is to compare it with one聽聽
[132]
that is actually known to be correct this young聽
man bought this 18 19 years ago and this was some聽聽
[140]
special printing they came out with yes in 1999聽
when it had already started getting the momentum聽聽
[147]
for which it's famous they published uh deluxe聽
editions of the works and there are a few things聽聽
[153]
that make these deluxe a lot of this guilt you聽
know this is actual gold and then you can see that聽聽
[158]
the text block edges here are also guilt these聽
are all indications of a typical deluxe production聽聽
[164]
okay i can even tell just looking at it from聽
here this is a beautiful copy which is what聽聽
[171]
you want for a book like this but rowling is聽
infamous for having many many many forgeries聽聽
[177]
it's just like a hornet's nest it's always a聽
problem okay well look inside do your magic聽聽
[186]
so i'm actually going to compare聽
it first just to double check
[192]
you can see it has the general shape but first of聽
all some of these lines have been double-crossed聽聽
[198]
right so here you can see this has gone over聽
more than once there's some shakiness right here聽聽
[204]
the other thing too is you're actually seeing it聽
squished you see it's actually a lot thinner and聽聽
[210]
that's important because it's very typical with聽
forgeries for signatures to be slightly smaller or聽聽
[218]
more squished so not a real signature i am sorry聽
to say i don't think that this is a real signature聽聽
[226]
i have no idea that it might be different what's聽
the book worth this book unsigned isn't a very聽聽
[233]
expensive book but moreover in my opinion this聽
is actually not even worth what it would be if聽聽
[240]
it were unsigned because this in my opinion should聽
be taken off the market so as far as i'm concerned聽聽
[245]
the value on this is zero okay you're amazing聽
thanks thank you right yes yep all right um聽聽
[257]
it's not real so it's not for me but thanks聽
for bringing it in all right have a great day聽聽
[264]
thank you well i'm very disappointed i probably聽
will just give it to one of my great grandchildren
[284]
you
