Re: ELVIS SHAVER AUTHORS COPIES BOOKS LOT ON EBAY
I bought the A Portrait Portfolio book years ago from Ian Bailye but there was pages missing and pages duplicated. When I complained I was told I had a real collectors item. Got my money back. Looks like it wasn't so rare after all.

Re: ELVIS SHAVER AUTHORS COPIES BOOKS LOT ON EBAY
The most important thing imho its the unique raritie of the AUTHORS COPIES. Not anything as it in the Elvis world. Only 25 copies of each book and maybe only two or three seen in the last years. Because of that my prices are really a bargain but if not sell Ill be so happy or more having these gems more years...

Re: ELVIS SHAVER AUTHORS COPIES BOOKS LOT ON EBAY
In the early 2010s I bought several of Sean Shaver's book (mainly due to their legendary status in the Elvis world). They were "The Life Of Elvis Presley," "Our Memories Of Elvis," "Elvis' Portrait Portfolio," and "Elvis In Focus". To be honest, I was rather disappointed. I didn't partucularily like the way the photos were presented (especially in "The Life Of Elvis Presley"), the quality of the photos/printing wasn't up to today's standards, and there were very few (in any) pictures that were new to me. Of course, I'm saying this from a 2010s perspective. I'm pretty sure getting them when they were originally published (1979-1992) must have been a totally different experience.Bilbo Baggins wrote:I never had a chance to flip through these books. So I don't know what exacly they contain. My questions are... What make these books so special, besides them being rare and well presented? Are there still lots of pics only to be seen in these books? Is the quality of the prints better than in other publications? Are the contents of the books still as unique as they where in the time period they were released?
PS. The only one I still own (but haven't read yet) is "Elvis In Focus" I sold the other three (which wasn't all that easy to do) losing a little money in the process.

Sun records better only if are excellent or near mint. Not easy to find at this condition of course.
But these special Author's copies books are more rare. 25 copies of each. Simply amazing.

Re: ELVIS SHAVER AUTHORS COPIES BOOKS LOT ON EBAY
Crazy prices?
Do you had seen the prices of things as The Boy From Tupelo or TTWII bootleg box at Ebay? Those are really crazy!
My prices are imho good prices and the 100% of my buyers with good feedback confirm it.
And my up and down on offers are simply that. I dont want to lower without limit because the right prices are, as the last Osborne Elvis Guide says, more expensive than my Elvis vinyl gems for sale.
Anyway thanks for share your opinion!

Re: ELVIS SHAVER AUTHORS COPIES BOOKS LOT ON EBAY
And the book Elvis Portofolio isn't the collector's edition neither.
The collector's edition is with a extra center photo and a special slipcase.
Your book is a regular copy in a golden box that was ment to be for another book

25 or 125 copies, anyway only a few copies. . But thanks. Ill correct that!!!jerry-walker wrote:Hello Clambake 1967

This is the only case anyway, OUR MEMORIES . The other are 25 copies only as authors copies. Maybe because this book is from three authors, not only him. ITS VERY IMPORTANT TO LEAVE IT CLEAR!!!

Re: ELVIS SHAVER AUTHORS COPIES BOOKS LOT ON EBAY
I received the external box directly from Shaver as the one I have included at ebay. It's just that, an external box, its not the book and Mr Sean Shaver sent me the one golden box exactly as you see. What the book itself is its the real and unique authors copy. One of only 25 (and here are not 125!!!). In the first page it reads AUTHORS COPY of course!!! Not the regular edition!.jerry-walker wrote:And the book Elvis Portofolio isn't the collector's edition neither.

Your book is a regular copy in a golden box that was ment to be for another book
All others the same. Are the authors copies, simply the best and the most rare Elvis books ever.
I was fortunate enough to communicate with Sean many times by email and all the books had differences between them.... some of them are as his webpage but others as my golden box authors copy edition is different and he put the golden outer box and not the one with picture.
Simply like this. Anyway thanks for your interest in my books.

Re: ELVIS SHAVER AUTHORS COPIES BOOKS LOT ON EBAY
Hi Clambake 1967
In every book of Elvis Portofolio is a stamp with 'Autor's Copy'
The one that you have is NOT the collector's edition. Sean Shaver puts An normal regular book (without slipcase) in a gold colored box that he found somewhere. Believe me, I know his Style of working and handling.
That book has now a 'market value' of maximum $75
I hope that information Helps a little

Re: ELVIS SHAVER AUTHORS COPIES BOOKS LOT ON EBAY
Thanks for your info. I paid the complete sum for an author's copy 10 years ago. And yes, its a stamp saying Authors copy. Its very strange it.jerry-walker wrote:Hi Clambake 1967

Anyway if the "collectors ed." its only an external box with picture, the book is exactly the same...but:
Ill post a picture . If a book says AUTHORS COPY. NOT FOR SALE and its signed and dedicated from author to me...

Re: ELVIS SHAVER AUTHORS COPIES BOOKS LOT ON EBAY
Anyway Mr. Clambake
Those are nice books for their age.
And Yes indeed, your copy of 'The Elvis book vol.2' is special although I prefer the one with the dust jacket.
Your copy of 'The Life of Elvis Presley' is really Unique.
I saw only 1 copy for real in my whole Life.
The 2 other books (our memories of Elvis and Elvis Portfolio) are complete 'worthless' - Especially Elvis' Portfolio without slipcase
Kind regards,
JW

Anyway the value of Our Memories and Portfolio is a lot less than The Life and Elvis Book II authors copies...
