There were 35 "Maker's Editon" books potentially. Only 19 of these have been made and sent out
These were not associated/did not come with any COA/Signature set
Being that, many makers were sent/bought sets and most of these remain as loose sets.
A few of the makers had me assemble their books (Blazed and OgNasty are 2 that I remember)
And according to my records, only 2 Maker's Edition were sent/sold to a non-maker

Any idea how many of those “Maker’s Edition” versions got signature sets that were also the upgraded color prints?

With regard to any autographs or holos not included but listed on the COA, there were a couple makers who didn’t supply signatures at all, such as Ravenbit and bhcoins, but I included their holos.  I only had 20 of bhcoins, so only the Auto Ed. got those.  

I think the non Auto Edition got something different  instead to make it fair, such as Genesis holo, if I recall.

For a couple of the low number loose non AE sets, I added Matthew Rippon, the co-author, as I only had a few of his.

So both the AE and non-AE autographs sets were nearly identical.

For the books, the premium paper can be identified when there is a wording in the top right corner, saying Premium Color Edition.  This pic doesn’t show that.

Refer to my sig below for more details on the label sets.

All the variations does get confusing. I don't think I have ever seen a 'Premium Color Edition'. Is that wording at the top right corner of every page? I assume this means the colour photos are glossy?

Probably worthwhile to have a reference thread for the various versions of the book.

Current high bid.

Sorry Blazed, didn't mean for this to become an book seminar

Thanks mj now I have to hope one of the Premium Color Editions with holos applied comes up for auction.

This book has way too many editions to keep up with. This one seems pretty rare so drop them BTCIG bids!

Also, if you look at the 2 rows of coins mid-cover, they are reversed for the 2 versions
And they continue to the side, so making it kind of a neat side view when seeing both as seen in the 2nd picture

Cool.  I didn't know that.  Thank you for sharing.

Seems appropriate to have the information listed somewhere.
