Sigh.
The reason that recent signed books are not very valuable is because in America, there are more people trying to make a profit on signatures than there are people who appreciate them.
Someday, if you keep it in perfect condition, your newly signed book will be worth... the jacket price.
Please don't turn around and tell the author about that, as though they somehow devalued their own signature. It's not their fault that the industry is currently heavily invested in author tours and signings.
Get the signatures you want for yourself. Your collection's greatest value is to you 📚❤️
