The Deluxe Editions were printed in 1999. While there have been several print runs of this set, first and later printings remain valuable and illusive. WIth fabric boards, gilded pages, ribbon bookmark, and hints of gold, this luxurious set remains to be highly coveted by collectors.  Ironically, while a first printing of Philosopher's Stone is highly valued, a first printing of Prisoner of Azkaban will have a higher value because half as many were printed!
