As an investment, even buying pristine second-hand copies at a 75%discount

Spoken like a true novice. I laughed all the way to the bank after I paid
$79 apiece for a bunch of Easton Press editions signed by Mandela and Reagan
and then sold them for thousands apiece. The Easton Press put my son
through Harvard.


Well, perhaps it was the signatures, rather than the
books themselves.


Exactly: Guaranteed specimens of the signatures of world leaders. I
would guess that the Mandela is genuine & a particularly tough find, but
the Reagan is probably an AutoPen sig.
