    Not much without the art. My estimate would be $100 for the page block, and $200 for the block and the art.

    That's it. I have mine in a large archival plastic bag laying flat on a shelf.

    Well,
    Who knows how many signed copies there are out there. And depending on when it was signed, it could be a fake. I have seen that book off an on eBay for a long time. But we know that there are only 26 of the Firestarter. Plus you have to look at when it came out. Firestarter was a legit S\L. Just look at what the lettered Misery went for at the silent auction at Betts. Plus, it's not the oldest, but that Firestarter is old and delicate. Who knows if in 20 years, one of the limited ed that are really limited to only 26 will reach Firestarter level. But you see what IT and Misery are already doing, and Misery isn't even out yet. You probably won't be able to get it on the used market for less than $3,500 I am guessing. Pricing is hard to pin down. It depends on popularity of the book. Quality of the book and how many were made. Just my thoughts.

    That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for your insight, Mike! I guess with the signed Rage copy, I was thinking maybe there’s not even 26 signed copies out there as the rest have either been tossed or are hidden away somewhere in a bookshelf never to be seen again. But as I type that out, it’s sounds like a stretch. There had to be a ton more than 26 signed throughout the years. I can see why Firestarter and the other really valuable S/Ls are worth more than a signed Rage now. And yeah it could be fake anyway! I’ll add this to my list of incorrect assumptions for the day.

    Hey Adam.
    I collect all I can and all I can afford. Those were actually given to me by Paul Suntup. I just want a respectable proof collection. I know it will never be massive but I
    am still hoping to get some more. I don't want to neglect that part since I have a few now, But it is not my primary focus. My primary focus are the books that I have as
    wants on my first page and anything new that comes out.
    But I do want to thank Paul for that nice package he sent.

    Wow that’s quite a gift. I’ve got three proofs total but I’m not that into it. Thinking about selling one of them even. I’m sure that’ll change eventually though. I wasn’t into signed books when I started either but now I’m forking out thousands for them.

    I can really blame Janic for getting me into them. Just kidding John. It just looked like another cool thing to collect, I probably won't go crazy but we will see what happens. I am into the signed ones as well but it's not bad having a few proofs.

    Thanks Jon, but I don't think it will much of a challenge for you. Your collection is really sweet. At least I have a flat signed one. So I got that going for me .

    Some new gets from a friend

    I know this one looks funky but that's because it's in plastic and taking it out and putting it back in was a pain. There is really nothing wrong with it.

    Nice proofs.
    I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.

    Thanks. I will probably try and get a few more but I doubt it will be a major part of my collection. Just some nice to add to what I already have.

    Those are really cool man, congrats! That Four Past Midnight is somewhat scarce, right? I just sold mine a few weeks ago, I wonder if that’s it!

    There are two four past Midnight proofs. One with a dark blue cover, that's the one that I have and one with a light grey cover. The light grey cover is the one that is really rare. That is a "first state". The one that I have now is a second state. But it looks good on my shelf.

    Hmmm the one I has was black. I’m trying to think if it’s possible I just didn’t see it in the right light but I’d be surprised to learn it was dark blue.

    On the site that I go to in order to look at proofs, there is no black one listed. The blue is pretty dark so you might have thought it was black.

    Oh I know you’re right. I’m just surprised I didn’t notice it. And of course part of me is now wondering if I sold something ultra rare. I know it’s not, it’s just irrational paranoia lol.

    SWEET, Mike! Congratulations. They look to be in fine condition, too!

    (I'm using the word "fine" to mean "looks good to me", rather than any official rating of condition.)
