Rand Torman is a good guy. I just got a proof of Different Seasons from him. I think he'll probably re-list The Plant. He said he may start accepting Paypal, also.

I have both of these I can't remember where I got the Wizard and Glass chapbook but it was long before Ebay came along (did it come with the Regulators/Desperation giftset?) Edit - guess I should have looked at the auction first :unsure:

The Green Mile book I got from a barter club I was a member of back in CA, I was surprised to find it since I had never seen or heard of it before and it did come with the slipcase (it was shrink wrapped together).

[Erin]

That Wizard and Glass chapbook is awesome!

[jhanic]

The slipcased Green Mile is the Book Club edition. If you look closely at the book itself, you'll note that it doesn't have a price.

How about the signed Insomnia-being bid on by Calla_Wolf?

[jhanic]

I've been watching that one. Too bad its got some kind of non-standard envelope with it. An original envelope would make it much more valuable. I have a signed numbered edition, but no envelope. I do have the silver peace necklace, however.

Starting at $4,899 it is a bit overpriced, but nonetheless a beautiful guitar.

[Brice]

How much do they normally sell for? Aren't they pretty scarce?

[Randall Flagg]

They did 250 total. They are expensive more for the build quality/accoustic quality than the SK aspect. Perhaps I'm mistaken but I peg the value at ~4K.

Oh, ok! I had no idea. I saw one sell like a year ago but, I hadn't seen enough of them to guess at their worth.

[natehorning]

What is the "Autographed First Day Cover"? I haven't seen one of these before.


Nate

[Randall Flagg]

I am not positive, but I think it is a postmarked letter from the first day a commemorative stamp is issued. In this case a Douglas Fairbanks stamp.

[natehorning]

That seems to make sense but I am missing the Stephen King signature connection? Am I just being obtuse?


Nate

[Brice]

I am not positive, but I think it is a postmarked letter from the first day a commemorative stamp is issued. In this case a Douglas Fairbanks stamp.



Yeah, that's exactly what it is.


I am baffled by why King signed that too though.

[jhanic]

I'd be VERY careful with this one. The chances that King actually signed this seem small.

John

[Brice]

I was kind of thinking the same thing John. I mean, why would he?

[nyy3723a]

Only thing I can think of is that it was the only thing an autograph seeker had handy when they ran into King somewhere? Dubious at best, but its all I can come up with.

[Sir_Boomme]

but then... why would a forger... forge a king signature on such a thing so unrelated to king.
unless... he was just practicing his forgeries...before he did one in a book... and then really liked the way this one came out.

hmmm... not for me for sure... even if it is real.

has anyone asked the seller about it?

The seller is a SKEMER from Canada that about 6-7 years ago was buying TONS of King stuff on eBay and paying top $$. She is now looking to unload most of her collection, but her prices are way too high, IMO.

Though someone has bid on her S/L UK Desperation/Regulators at $899 when a similar copy couldn't catch a bit at $300 a couple weeks ago. Just goes to show ya I guess.

[Cutter]

I agree she has some nice stuff, but way too pricey to bid on. Also her shipping charges on some of the items are just flat out unreasonable. 1st Edition Misery and VHS for $1.00, but $28.00 shipping? You gotta be kidding, I ship to Canada all the time and it is not $28.00 for a book and VHS.

I have no idea. They had it in the bargain DVD bin at the local WalMart for $5.00 recently. I see no reson for it to be priced highly.

I was an original subscriber to The Castle Rock Newsletter and still have all the issues. Unfortunately, they are quite yellowed with age now.

Ari they are releasing a new version of The Langoliers as a box set with The Stand and Golden Years coming out on September 25th. I'm planning on buying it because I've never owned a DVD version of The Stand, my old copy was a VHS.

I just thought I would point it out.

Contents of letter:


"Dear Joan Ingalls, Sorry to be so long answering your nice note of July 2nd--as I look out on the frozen lake and the two feet of snow in front of it, it's hard for me to believe there was a July 2nd--but we've been in England for six weeks or so, and a lot of the correspondence never got answered. Totally my fault. The error you mention has drawn about three dozen letters, and I'm happy to inform you that the mistake was a printer's glitch and my hands are clean. I'm happy to tell you that because I make plenty of mistakes on my own. In CARRIE, I brought Carrie's dad back for an encore six months after he had been killed on a construction job. I got a couple of hundred letters on that one. Thanks for the nice words, and I'm just sorry so many months have gone by between your letter and mine. Best to you and yours in this holiday season." Sincerely, Stephen King

Plenty of time for the price to increase a lot. I agree that it will interesting to see what the current market turns out to be on this.

I enjoyed the listing - very descriptive and enthusiastic. I thought it was kind of funny though that it says, "It has never been removed from the wooden box..." and down below is a photo of the book outside its wooden box.

Wow. I would love to own that set, especially as it comes directly from SK's office. But the price is already $550/book and there's still a week left on the auction. Good luck to anyone here who is bidding.


I too am amazed at the price this has fetched so far! I do not think it would be so high if it were not for the Haven Foundation being the recipient (unless it's a bogus claim:angry: ). It took me the better part of three years to put this same set together myself!

[jhanic]

I don't think it's a bogus claim. I got an email this morning from the Stephen King website advertising this auction.

Up to $6,700 now. Wow. I'd bet your right, the money goes for a good cause thus the high price. Plus getting it straight from SK's office is pretty cool too.

Probably because of the "claim" proceeds would go to The Haven Foundation.

Plenty of time for the price to increase a lot. I agree that it will interesting to see what the current market turns out to be on this.

I enjoyed the listing - very descriptive and enthusiastic. I thought it was kind of funny though that it says, "It has never been removed from the wooden box..." and down below is a photo of the book outside its wooden box.
I was high bidder on the S/L Stand and it just disappeared. Weird. No explanation or nothing.

From the description, it sounds like the seller on the second one is a speculator rather than a fan - since, although they are correct, they weren't certain of the names of the characters.

The first auction listing (for the page from the first issue, original price 550.00) is at least the second time that piece has been listed, it did not get any bids the other time it will be interesting to see if it does any better this time.

The second listing is for a page that was originaly 600.00.

I don't think this art was a good investment, I think only a few key pages would resell for the original price or more, most like these probably for considerably less than the original price, any thoughts?

[Patrick]

... I don't think this art was a good investment, I think only a few key pages would resell for the original price or more, most like these probably for considerably less than the original price, any thoughts?

I think any speculator who bought any of this stuff purely for financial return is a fool.

I believe any fan who bought any of this original artwork because they love it is a genius.

Signed Best American Short Stories has popped up like mushrooms on ebay. apparently, King brought with him 300 pre signed paperback for the event in NY according to one seller. Oddly, I have not seen any signed Hardback of that book.

[Room 217 Caretaker]

King signed 300 the morning of. NO HARDBACK just First Edition Paperback. Still a nice grab for whoever got one.

He seemed to do two signatures. One on the title page and one on the next page. I like the title page sig.

Not all things King sink in a down market. The truly rare, desirable or seldom seen hold or even climb in value. I think the Lettered Stand falls into the " seldom seen " category.

Welcome to the site Dave!

[Randall Flagg]

It did not sell at a starting price of 3.5K-this time. The person who wants a "Lettered The Stand", either has one currently, or isn't willing to spend 3.5K on the book.
IMO, This is one King title (not the only) where a lettered edition is not going to command 4x-10x the prcie of the numbered.

BTW,

welcome Hutch. Your expertise, opinions and insight will be greatly appreciated here.

Hi Ari,

I'd say it's worth it. I don't know what the original issue price was, but that book, Simmon's first (although this edition is not the real first), is great. I'd buy it myself, but you have first choice. I don't know if the books resale value will increase, but my gut feel is that it will.

Publish price was $75 of this limited.

RF, your right. That is a rare find for The Stand

By the time the books are released on CD, CD's will be (almost already are) outdated. It's all MP3's etc. No need for moving parts. You could put a whole book on a player no bigger than a pack of gum.

Agreed. Unfortunately, it's typical of the current publication of King in the UK. I think their covers for the HC Everything's Eventual and From a Buick 8 are also hideous. H&S used to do such a good job on their covers, but now...

Usually those types of things are freebies, although which comic stores get which (if any) promo items can be hit or miss. I'll ask at my local store next time I'm there - maybe even this weekend. I'll let you know.

I'm still amazed that people are selling the freebie sketchbooks. A couple weeks ago our local store put out another big stack of them - and this is after issue #7 was already released.
