I took the liberty of posting the picture for you. Hope you don't mind.

If you copy a photo link from your Gallery, you can do two things:

1) either click the 'Insert Image' button (next to the little envelope icon) and paste the link you copied in the little pop-up window;
2) or manually add 'image tags' in your post like this: image link.

In both cases you will need to remove the following parts from the URL when you paste it: <img src=" and " /> (basically, you want it to look like http://www.blahblah.JPG).

[biomieg]

... and that's a sweet-looking collection, by the way.

[Ben Staad]

Nice collection of books and (if my eyes aren't deceiving me) whiskey!

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Hey, I recognize those books, they're by that King fellow! Good stuff!

Yes, I do like my Jameson... Trying to figure out something to do with those 12 year old cylinders...hmmm. The 18 year old box is just too nice to throw away!

Very Nice Collection!!!!!!!


:thumbsup::thumbsup:

[becca69]

Nice collection. I have those same bookcases. Are you going to add glass doors?

[Shannon]

Yay, a new collection! I like what I see so far! What are your favorite King items you own? Tell tell!

This is what I do for images, if you were curious. Go to www.imageshack.us, get a free account, use that webpage to upload your pictures there. Whenever they are uploaded use the "Direct Link" for each picture and put it in your posts with the [ img ] and [ /img] tags around it, no spaces. :)

Very Nice Collection!!!!!!!


:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Thanks Merlin!

[SierraKiloCollector]

Thanks Becca! No plans to add doors on these bookcases. We're going to be moving back to the states this summer and they will be replaced with permanent, custom built bookcases in a couple of years. I can't wait for that day!

Now that sounds awesome!!! I should look into that!! Hmmmmmm.........................

Thanks Cook! After the Simon & Schuster fiasco I was a bit disgruntled... so my wife entered the random drawing for me and was fortunate enough to score one of the 850!

A NICE book collection and whiskey, this is a perfect combination !!!

Everybody 'scored' in that drawing except me! Looks like King is getting tired of making that final 'g' lately.

I also fail at winning lotteries. :)

:panic::panic::panic::panic::panic::panic:Hello everyone!

Okay... I've been hesitant to post these pictures of my signed 1st edition Carrie for fear of disappointment. I think it's because I'm paranoid now after learning of and seeing all of the forged SK signatures out there. I bought this about a year ago for what I felt was an incredible bargain but I was extremely nervous about doing so because I'd never bought a signed SK from anyone over the internet. The seller provided an event stub from where he said it was signed and also included in the sale a valuation from a book dealer. I'm ready to hear from the experts what you think about the authenticity of this signature and if any of you remember this showing up on eBay. So... for your examination, critiques, and comments... here are some photos of my signed 1st edition of Carrie.... :panic:

Thanks in advance and I'm really looking forward to hearing back from you!

[carlosdetweiller]

I think it is a valid signature. When I first looked at the second picture showing the full page with the signature I had some doubts. But I've looked at the closeup picture of just the signature pretty carefully and I can find no fault with it.

[AKC]

WOW! I sold this to Brad last year! Holy smokes, what a small world!

It absolutely is legitimate as I bought it from a very reputable seller in Kansas City. I told Brad, via PM, that I've been regretting selling it to him ever since last year.

Brad, as I said in the PM, if you EVER want to sell it back to me for the price you paid, I'll send you the money IMMEDIATELY.

Tim

P.S. Now I've got to look at this as a reminder of how stupid I was to sell it.....:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

[Shannon]

Awww, AKC is sad. Maybe he should go buy himself some more Stephen King greatness to make himself feel better. Oh, too late, he has everything already. :)

[Cook]

S..K..C..
Carrie is excellent !!
I understand the jitters, I've always been skittish to buy a pre-signed trade edition.
Looks real to me FWIW.

[jhanic]

A very nice acquisition! Congratulations to you and condolences to AKC!

BTW, I based my opinion on the signature from the Cujo S/L, it looks identical to me.

Dude, you should seriously consider a name change to "SKC". That would be AWESOME!!! PM a "Mod".


Great Collection BTW. I am soooooo envious of that "Carrie"!!!

[AKC]

Dude, you should seriously consider a name change to "SKC". That would be AWESOME!!! PM a mod

That would be very close to a Trademark infringement.....

Lovely books, Brad. By the way, I assume you're still in The Netherlands right now? There's a copy of the Dutch 1982 Creepshow hardcover (with dust jacket) for sale (starting bid €20) on the 'Marktplaats' website. I'm not sure if you're interested, but hey...

Yep, still in NL for a few more months! Could you send me the link to that website please? Thanks!

It's a pretty neat book and one of the few hardcover editions of this book in the world, I think. There are two printings (don't know which one this is but for Dutch books it doesn't really matter if it's not a 1st printing IMO). Total print run was probably not more than 3000 copies.

*edit: I'd be happy to bid for you if there are any problems with the site. Just PM me.

Print-run for the first printing was 7000 copies (2nd printing 5000).
You should have a look at catawiki.com. The one at marktplaats has been floating there for months.
I think the seller expects a lot more then €20!

Good condition, starting at €20. Mint condition €29.

I like the Chadbourne stuff, SKC! :)

Chadbourne Rocks!!!! :rock::rock:

Congrats, Brad!!!

[SierraKiloCollector]

I've been waiting/searching/passing on many S/L The Stand... and then this came along. Since I have never seen a lettered edition of The Stand for sale it made for an easy decision. Here it is...

No, not my intention at all... :evil:

Actually, I'm the one in awe, jealous, envious, and covetous nearly everyday when I see some of the books and things you all have. This acquisition is the cornerstone of my humble collection as of right now. Although, I can't wait to see how my lettered edition of the 25th anniversary IT compares...

[Stockerlone]

Congrats, Illustrated TRIVIA Book LETTERED and THE STAND LETTERED are amazing.

[Ben Staad]

Congrats on The Stand! What a great addition and that one is certainly one of my holy grails.

[Cook]

S.K.C... Very very nice.
Super Congrats on "The Stand" !!

[Shannon]

Such an amazing book. I can't wait to own one! The numbered, not the lettered, lol. I've settled on thefact that collecting lettered editions just isn't for me, lol.
