I will be getting letter 'C' unfortunately of the normal slipcased version. If I want the lettered edition, I will have to bid with everyone else and if i'm that lucky to get a copy I will have to request the letter C.

No, just haven't found a nice copy. Haven't really looked, though. If you want a better idea of prices you can look at stephenkingcollector.com. He has prices listed and links to sales and a graph of past sales. This should help you determine values. It also helps you determine what is the first edition. If anything is different it isn't a first. A mistake a lot of new collectors, including me, made was that they thought they had a first edition but it was a BCE. The first clue is no price on dust jacket.
Thanks for the link Dan, no problem here IDing the firsts, not a new collector. I've made up collecting aids way back when the internet was mostly just a collection of bulletin boards with very few images. In fact if you look hard you can find my name on Kings website.
Hopefully last question for today, don't want to be a pest. Just found out he is also interested in some of my magazines especially the porno related. Any good sources for prices those.
Well, most men try, but few are successful.

They are also the older of the magazines. 05-17-2014 01:37 PMdivemaster 05-17-2014 01:42 PMRandall FlaggOk. Time to avoid dangerous inappropriate comments (in this thread; there are other threads for such comments).
Back on topic please. 05-17-2014 01:59 PMFrankieHopefully I can get away with posting this Yahoo Answers response to the question (hilariously) engendered by divemaster:
"Yes it's true...i'm asian and mine is sideways...so is my butt crack!"
But back on topic:
PM me. I'm interested in a VG or better original Stand, we may be able to work something out. 05-17-2014 02:10 PMstroppygoblin 05-17-2014 02:19 PMTree705 05-20-2014 03:30 PMkillbourneWhat would be a fair price for a s/l salems lot signed in red (1- 80)? 05-20-2014 03:35 PMAKCI'm gonna' say $2,000+.......
Complete guess but, based on recent sales of the Black around $1,300 -$1,500, there will be a premium that goes along with the Red #'d version.
I bought my #2 Black at Betts but willingly paid a hefty premium for the low #. 05-20-2014 03:52 PMwebstar1000I would say $2000+... Try and find any of them... Not sure if the red would make a diff but it might to some. This is a stellar production and they are held onto when gotten:) 05-20-2014 04:37 PMLot guyThere's a red one that been on line for awhile around $2,500.00 by Bookmint or bigclearcase 05-20-2014 04:44 PMkillbourne 05-20-2014 05:26 PMRoom 217 CaretakerI own one of the 1-80 red editions and feel I need to correct the conversation. The NUMBER is red, his signature is not.
My copy is #66
