Here is the book. It could be kept intact, or deconstructed and one could use the artwork for display.Quote:

Or one could work with a custom bookbinder to create a really unique and beautiful edition.
Good point. Anyone you would recommend?Quote:

Best bet would be to query a few and see who has the most interesting ideas that mesh with the buyer's ideas and pocketbook.Quote:

Well, believe it or not, but Ned generally gets $500 for a full color remarque in "The Wastelands". So David is spot on. To get the case and the art (albeit roughly 5"x7") is a pretty darn good deal for three hundred and change. Now this market value I know something about!!! LOL LOL LOLQuote:

Most of the 21 remarqued Waste Lands I sold for Ned Dameron averaged around $750....some as high as $1000....none lower than $500 (and only two sold for less than $550).
The three "simple" remarques (gun/rose/skull) I sold for ND all went around $300.
In my opinion, David's statement is on the low side based on previous sales King-related sales.
Which goes to say that, David is spot on (within reason) on his estimate, right? I mean considering the "Case Art" pics are somewhat smaller but, in oil, it's in the "ballpark", no?Quote:

David's statment accurately reflects the artwork value based on previous sales.
Of course, you do have to factor in a "Dolso" wooden case (with an engraved Sketch), which. to me makes this just an AWESOME deal!!!
P.S. Wait until you see what he has up his sleeve for the "Haven Fund"!!!!!!!!
So to help bill get out of trouble... What the heck is the valuation of the 500 copy Riding the bullet... I have one but ive got no clue what its potential value is.
Sounds to me like everyone is correct. Dave said the art alone is worth $500 (apparently even more).Quote:

tippy has confirmed that Dameron art is not cheap.
Perhaps the only quibbles are Dameron's art IN a DTII, versus Dameron's art in a 'Salem's Lot Case.
I believe that a Dameron 1/1 painted piece ~5"x7" is more valuable than people realize. It is "oil/acrylic and full color. I would guess that a Dameron commssioned 5"x7" original painting would cost>$500 from Dameron himself and take "forever" to obtain. Same for a DTIII "drawing" in the book.
Grab one while you can, the price is not going down.
Thanks, but I don't think I need help here. As for anything else, I am no where near in a position to offer advice. Mt collection is complete and subject solely to "Upgrades". Best of luck to all you folks out there!!! I've been there!!!Quote:
