I updated the buyer. I had it tracked thru July 2005 but missed the Dec 2005 auction update. Thanks.
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.

It's Nerak, btw! lol
Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.
I am now the owner of dt1-7 set number 50!
Congrats man! I will update the database right now.

Excellent purchase, jehamer!.
Here is a new eBay auction complete same-number set from a fellow CT seller Halthebookie....for a cool $21,000!

Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
I contacted Hal (who I haven't spoken to in several years) and told him of my list here and that I had identified 52 complete same-number sets. He responded that he remembered selling me #32 awhile back and also that he was the proud owner of complete set #1.
How cool is that!

VERY cool! I'm trying to think of something cooler than that and I am drawing a blank. Wow.I contacted Hal (who I haven't spoken to in several years) and told him of my list here and that I had identified 52 complete same-number sets. He responded that he remembered selling me #32 awhile back and also that he was the proud owner of complete set #1.
How cool is that!
Possibly, the complete of 19 (considering the series), but still I don't know. That's pretty awesome having #1.
For me #19 would be coolest, but #1 would not be too bad either
I'd be happy to have either.
Wiz, do you know if he obtained set #1 aftermarket, or was he the true #1 from the beginning?
RF-
I do not know that answer for sure, but I will ask him and report back here. He indicated that he sold a set when he acquired #1 so intuitively that says he got #1 in the after market. I just asked him how he acquired #1 and from whom (if he can share that info).

#1--Wow, that is amazing.
To me, much finer than 19 even though its a big number in the book. There is just something about #1
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
For me #1 would always be number one. What a great set to have.
Here is the answer I got from Hal regarding set #1:
Hi David, Me and 2 other guys used to go over to Don Grant's house starting in the mid 70s. The 3 of us were Robert E Howard fans and Don was publishing those long before King. One of the 2 guys was the original owner of your #32. I originally had 2 sets but sold 1 set right away. Grant had a friend that helped him with his early publishing and there was an unverified rumor that he had originally owned up to 50 copies of the S&N first DT. The friend offered to sell me the #1 copy in the early 90's but the deal did not go through until several years later. I don't think that he will mind me telling you that his name is Dick Brisson. I know that he does not own a set of DT's at present and still don't know if that rumor was true, Thanks, Hal

Great info. Thanks.
What a great story, thanks for sharing it, Wiz.

I wonder how long it took wizardsrainbow to write that first post. WOW!
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. - Edgar Allan Poe
Bunch together a group of people deliberately chosen for strong religious feelings, and you have a practical guarantee of dark morbidities expressed in crime, perversion, and insanity. - H.P. Lovecraft
I agree, it is very impressive. He built up the list over a long period of time, starting it pre-TDT.com. He's been updating and lengthening the list for quite a while with a lot of help from other collectors.
