    Op shops often don’t have the foggiest idea what they are dealing with. it’s supposedly too time consuming to look up everything, however I assure you that that ratty looking 1st Ed [whatever] will sell for more than the 18 perfect copies of Twilight that will never move

            Yes, unless signed or of other irrefutable provenance. Tracing this stuff is my workspace, valuations is not.
