Seth: Another Copy of Wimbledon Green Signed in 2005 With a Sketch

A few years ago I was occcasionally delighted to find an inexpensive signed copy of one of Seth's evocative picture novellas—as he sometimes calls them—particularly whenever he was good enough to have added a drawing of one of the book's distinctive characters. I bought a few of these collectible volumes, but here on the blog I noted that prices were steadily rising. Seth also seemed to be attending fewer and fewer signings. Prices climbed well over $100 for some of these books, although I'm not sure demand followed; some books have been languishing on eBay for years.

A copy of Wimbledon Green: The Greatest Comic Book Collector in the World (2005) signed in the year of publication is not personalized and has a small, quick sketch of the title character. It is selling for about five times the price of a similar copy I documented here just four years ago.

eBay item description

Again, back in 2021, I posted images of another 2005-signed copy very similar to this one. Four years ago, it sold for a best offer of $26.89 plus $15.83 shipping from Canada: 

It's all in the archives here.

There is a still more expensive copy currently on eBay with a considerably more elaborate drawing.

Was I the one who drove up the price of books signed by Seth? I really hope not.
