Cool, because that's the one I have. I think it's worth $50. I guess that's not too bad. I forget what I paid for it though.

So here is something interesting about IT. Everybody hates the spider. It must be how cheesy the spider looked because in the book there is a spider
"In the novel, IT’s backstory is partially explained, having originated in the Macroverse as well as its natural enemy, the Turtle, creator of our universe. It’s suggested that IT and the Turtle are creations of a separate, omnipotent creator referred to as “the Other”. IT is generally referred to as male, but is later shown as a female when taking its final physical form: a large female spider. However, IT’s natural form only exists in an inter-dimensional realm referred to as the “deadlights”, described as writhing, destroying orange lights which will drive any living being insane. In order to defeat IT, the Losers have to go to extremes, which Skarsgård thinks will be interesting to explore in the sequel." From an online article
According to some articles I read chapter 2 could be freaking epic.

Here are some IT photos. Probably not the best one, but I am not going to try and find another one from the 1st/1st batch. It's good enough for me

That separation is common, and not much to worry about.
And finally the side laying down view
So, again, I know it's not the best but it's the best I can do

Thanks Randall. I was just hoping it was one of the rare really good ones that I have heard about here that's all.
Looks like a superior copy... nice

As The Offspring once sang - "You've got to keep them separated."
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.
And the people bowed and prayed, to the cell phone god they made...

Room 217 caretaker, otherwise known as Ralph wanted to see my Stand since I said it had spine separation.
Well here you go. I will give you the good pics first:

And finally, the horror
That's about as bad as you can get I think.
But I am open to thoughts. And don't worry, you can be honest, you won't hurt my feelings.

My opinion is that's the best book Stephen King ever wrote. Not that particular copy, but you know what I mean.
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.

I think you have a decent copy. I know many collectors without a first Stand that wouldn't be embarrassed to have this on their shelf. I've held and owned several First Edition Stand copies throughout my collecting from the early 80's, some had separation, and some didn't. Again, your copy is decent. Be proud of it.

Thanks for the feedback. I don't intend on getting another one though. I will just keep this one. At least my S\L Stand is a solid copy

I may lay low for a while. I need to build up my funds again. I did a lot (for me) in a short amount of time so now I need to build up the funds.
Not that this thread gets a lot of play anyway. I need to save for next purchase. So you may or may not see me lurking. Good luck collecting everybody .

Feel free to chat a bit here. We haven't had to deal with a post-whore in a long time.
You probably will not approach the need for counseling.
