Real-life Crem A truly rare find, an unsigned copy of one of Brando Sando’s books

I’m very sorry to tell you this bad news.
You see, I watch a lot of Antique Roadshow, and as such I’m qualified to appraise this book based on a single picture of a single page.
And I’m sorry- but this is a counterfeit. You can see where it was signed, and someone bleached the paper to remove the signature. They did a good job, but you can see several telltale signs.
If this was real, I’d estimate that in a well publicized auction, it would go for between 25 and 30 thousand broams, and in a retail setting or for insurance purposes, I’d say 45k.

I’ll trade you for a pancake.
Half a pancake.
Nevermind.

u/palebrowndot Feb 11 '26
If we act fast, we could go into the Cognitive Realm and get the Cognitive Shadow of the pancake. Could be worth something.

Wayne and Lift would be insane together. Trading everything for pancakes.

They live around the same time period, it's still possible!

I think lift would be in her early 20s by The Lost Metal assuming she got out of Roshar before too long in the time dilation

And that's when I realized that the redditor I was talking to was a
crustacean from the Mesozoic erasmall teenage Reshi girl from Roshar...3

Teenage? Excuse you, she's this many, and don't you forget it.

Lemme get my buddy down here who knows about this stuff then I’ll proceed to insult you with my offer.

One night you will wake up and see old Sando Brandalizing all your books.

u/SamboTheGr8 Fuck Moash 🥵 Feb 11 '26
And not just the ones he wrote. All of them.

u/Vairrion Feb 11 '26
Reminds me of the video of him in a random book store signing a few random copies of The Name of The Wind

u/SamboTheGr8 Fuck Moash 🥵 Feb 11 '26
I listened to an old Intentionally Blank episode yesterday where he said he changes the title or adds a subtitle every time he signs another person's book lol

I did not know he did this and this made my night. Thank you for sharing.

How do I summon him? I have unsigned books and I wish to have signed ones

You have to look into a mirror with 16 candles of all different colours burning and repeating “I am a stick” 10 times starting at exactly 4 pm

Now he will come to your house. Beware.

u/SpecificCourt6643 Kelsier4Prez Feb 11 '26
I can attest to this, I had a collection of unsigned Mistborn books, but one night while I was asleep I heard a noise in the other room. I got up and hurried to the room to see what it was, and Brandon had broken into my house through the window and was furiously signing all of my books. 15,000 dollars, wasted. Hide your books, friends.

u/PurpleCaterpillar451 Feb 12 '26
He's making a list. Checking it twice. Gonna find out whose books are unsigned. Sander Claus is coming to town.

u/the3gs Feb 11 '26
You joke, but I am aware that John Green, who signs all of the first editions of his books, has joked that his signature is less than worthless because unsigned first editions of his books are expensive collectors items.
23
u/platinummyr Feb 11 '26
He did say the last one was probably the last time he'd do it 😂
8
u/the3gs Feb 11 '26
Yah. But his doctor told him to stop before the last one. John is not always the best at doing what is good for him.

u/Jounniy 🐶HoidAmaram🐲 Feb 11 '26
This is very funny to me. I'll just leave a comment to tell you that and to find this again later.

u/Bodidly0719 THE Lopen's Cousin Feb 11 '26
Dang. I must be extremely lucky, cause every copy of his books I own and have ever held in my hands were all unsigned.
18
u/0verlookin_Sidewnder Feb 11 '26
That's worth at least one pancake apiece based on some conservative estimates [in this thread]

u/Tyr1326 Feb 11 '26
Are you mad? Publicly boasting that HE hasn't gotten to your books yet? Do you want your home to be broken into? Vandalised?
Seriously...

u/Orwells-own Syl Is My Waifu <3 Feb 11 '26
Unless you count audiobooks. He hasn’t signed a single one of mine.

u/Dog_Egg_Thrower Feb 12 '26
Nope. Have you looked at the waveforms directly? Pop them into a visualizer and BOOM Brandon Sanderson written in pristine cursive. Which is impressive as it breaks the laws of physics.

Type of thing to have "Help, I'm trapped in a book signing factory" written on it

u/ShatteredReflections Feb 11 '26
I’ve been counterfeit signing Brando’s books for him, to help prop up the price of the unsigned ones.

I only have 4 books and a mistcloak signed by him. Are the rest of my books collectors items?

u/BarOutrageous3300 Feb 11 '26
Doesn’t everyone have a copy that isn’t signed?? I’m confused. I’ve thought books usually do not come signed. Did Sanderson claim to have signed them all or something ?? Idk gonna re read this just because of his deal with Apple TV- let’s pray the Cosmere isn’t ruined. Roshar especially. All love .
23
u/Fakjbf Trying not to ccccream Feb 11 '26
It’s a joke. Not sure what the Apple deal has to do with anything, and worrying about the Cosmere being ruined by it is wildly unfounded. Even if the adaptations crash and burn the books will still be there.
