There's a spelling mistake in the title that wasn't there when I created the original thread...
*edit: tried to fix it but could not change it...
*edit #2:personally I would have preferred to keep two separate threads, I think this is a tad confusing unless people who post make it very clear that they're posting either a "wanted" or a "have" list...
Now Im confused again
(thats a joke. One thread or two doesnt matter, its not brain surgery
reality continues to ruin my life
I think it was Top X favorite collectibles.
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
I asked google, and he said it was called "Your Personal Collectible-Top-X-List"
Mike Z. is correct but that title was a bit convoluted so I'm happy with the new title Jerome
Whew! I almost listed my top 10 favorite X-rated collectibles!
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...
Despite some very very cool stuff in my collection I would have to say the Stand SL is still my favorite.

My top 10 King collectibles that I own myself? Hard to choose 10 and because I want to include pictures, some of them do not make the list (like my set of The Plant all inscribed to same person, or My New Lieutenant's Rap set (S/L with envelope, peace necklace, 2 sets of quiz, invitation, Tom Gordon signed book + both proof variations)...in last 10 years, I've really gone gonzo over artwork and remarques....so, in no particular order here they are:
#1 Regulators S/L prototype (1 of 1)
#2 Father Callahan original oil painting - Michael Whelan; MW used me as his model and this Callahan version is on SK's website game "Discordia"
#3 Plaster Man Remarque by Ned Dameron in Waste Lands edition
#4 Orange Gunslinger proof (I believe it to be the only signed copy that exists)
#5 One of the "original" Michael Whelan Gunslinger remarques; this one done in S/L version and is the most "finished" of any of the original remarques
#6 Lettered Regulators with check made out to Betts Books
#7 Father Callahan (me again as model) done by Ned Dameron
#8 Green Mile Lettered "LL" - all 6 books are remarqued by Mark Geyer
#9 Gunslinger S/L remarqued by Michael Whelan (he has only remarqued 4 Gunslinger S/Ls)
#10 Original Roland oil by Michael Whelan....appeared in Little Sisters of Eluria S/L
And a bonus......Jae Lee inscribed this to me....
Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
I've always loved my S/L Skeleton Crew, but I think it's been replaced by Duma Key. One of my favorite King books in years, and this copy is signed by King and remarqued by Mark Stutzman. Of all my remarques, this one is definitely tops all the others.
Nice list, David. I don't think I have seen #10 (original oil painting of Roland) before.

GREAT STUFF!!
Agreed!! Some fantastic stuff!

Wow! Holy collectibles, Batman!
Awesome books everyone!
The top 5 books that I actually own: Pics are on my collection page:
#1: IT SNL
#2: The Shining SNL <--Don't own it...yet.
#3: NOS4A2 SNL
#4: Pop Art Lettered Edition from Sub Press
#5: Doctor Sleep Gift Edition
Here are my favorites:
Very Special because A) It's Awesome and B) This is one of the first remarques done by Erin.
I have other items which I love. I have a hardbound copy of Weird Tales 301 which is pretty cool. It's signed by a few folks (Not King) and limited in pencil with a mark off 59/105. And then I have other none SK items which I think are excellent. Signed stuff by Peter Clines, Kealan Patrick Burke, and Signed/remarqued items from Ronald Kelly.
Guys, the posts above are spectacular (may I have your address David, just in case I feel the urge to pop in unexpectedly - by the same token, can you additionally provide me with your 2014 vacation itinerary, just so I can have a little quiet time with your collection?)
We all float down here!
