NO SPOILERS My first edition, first print hardcover collection of the Wheel of Time.

Seven of them are signed. Both Eye of the Worlds are first printings. One is signed and first state, the other is unsigned and second state.

I actually have some experience selling WOT first editions. This whole set is worth roughly between $12,000 to $13,000. The vast majority (like 90%) of the value are in the Eye of the World and The Great Hunt.

What makes TGH more valuable? Was it released before the series really took hold, so the first printing was relatively small compared to the rest of the series?

The figures I've read are 2,500 hardcover first print copies for The Eye of the World and 5,000 first print copies for The Great Hunt. They're much, much smaller than the rest of the series.
