Each of the CD double day years, SB will have one, and the Dave McKean Colorado Kid had one. Don't have time right now but the CD website might hold information on how many prints in each.

See in red above

I dont really count the limitation pages nor the cover, but thanks !

What is the going price for a
Shining Folio signed copy going for? I offered a value of $900 (3 signed sleeping beauties) and did not get an acceptance. Maybe I should of done straight cash? Or are people willing to pay more than $900

I would pay $1000 for a copy now. I'm sure a person would rather that than 3 of the same book.

I think a seller could get $1.1-$1.5K. There are several people actively searching, so demand is high, and supply is nil.

I think that's a psychological issue. You obtained 3 signed copies of SB for ~$50, then want the person to take the books, sell them at $300 each, pack and ship them, etc. A seller would just prefer cash (PP F&F).

Good point! Cash in the future. My tactics worked successfully in the past. 3 signed Hearts in Suspension got me the FDNS book club edition signed.

2 signed DR. Sleeps got me Frankenstein S/L....

I heard horror stories about selling books and made ALOT of trades quite successfully in the past.

I can 100% say for sure this... I will pay more than you will for one.

I already have one. Just looking for spares. My collecting OCD has kicked into high gear. 2 S/L of each book. 4 flatsigned copies of each new book. 2 unsigned copies of each book. And like RF said - i paid $22 for a signed copy of sleeping beauties. $66 for a missing S/L is a bargain for me.

That's quite OCD.
Maybe you should leave a few for others.

Tell that to BOB. Or other serious collectors! Even alex has multiple lettered gunslinger. 😄

[Roseannebarr]

Did you see Paul's. Facebook video with BOB. An amazing collection with several copies of s/l. Etc... I plan on giving each nephew a nice collection of sk books.

Hey guys, I heard that if you got a Folio Signed... you knew no question that you did. That is not true. I just got off the phone with Folio and they told me this. 1/10 - you KNEW you were getting a signed one. 1/100... shrink wrapped like the regular one. SO... if you didn't open the book, you would never know. She said they all went out the first day they shipped so they are out there. I implore you to open yours... if you have not. Thanks

There are copies still in shrink wrap available on Abebooks, if you want to test your luck.

I don't... however, by me bringing it to attention in various places might cause a couple to pop up for sale. I fear my one chance to own one has slipped away and now to get one will be a tough go. Especially with 'greedy guts Glenn" going for 22 copies.

[Randall Flagg]

The signed ones had a small sticker on the outside of the shrinkwrap.

Are you sure that was not one of the 10 or a few they gave away as a prize? The info I got came right from them. Talked for 15 mins or so about it.
