Stephen King Collecting Questions

I'd say my Lettered Regulators is probably my favorite King limited[/QUOTE]

One day I hope to be able to say the same thing.
It's #1 on my want list.

What sort of price would i be looking at in the future for decent copies of 1st editions of

Carrie
Salem's Lot
Night Shift
UK Shining

Thanks

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

Just as for the US editions, it depends on quality. The price differencealone between Fine and VG could be $1000 for each book.

[Tito_Villa]

Yeah i can't afford fine copies but i would like if possible ot eventually get my hands on very good ones!

I think that is a reasonable price. I don't think I have ever seen one sell cheaper.

Does the slipcase for Postscripts with Hill and King has lettering on it or is it just a plain cloth slipcase?

Thanks

Gold color with black lettering on the spine only. Front and back of slipcase have no lettering.

" I love the Less Than Human lettered.. the grey paper and the colored lettering (I think Joe Lansdale does the intro..). Never got a wooden coffin either but Dave did get me a dust jacket for it from the regular limited instead. Overlook Connection made some amazing stuff back then. I wonder if Dave ever made a lettered of Micheal Marshall Smith's classic novel Spares... it was supposed to be a wooden case with frosted glass lit and a "hand" etched into the frosted glass somehow. I remember seeing some kind of prototype designs. I love the limited (had extra and expunged chapter as I recall)

If this is the same one you're talking about......signed by M.M. Smith, Neil Gaiman, and Alan Clark?
Is this the case you were talking about?



Then this was engraved on the back side of the slip case.....

Thanks! That just made up my mind as to what edition I'll be getting. I'd have gone with a non-slipcased edition if it were just a plain cloth slipcase. Not a fan of those considering the mark up.

I always seem to post things that have already covered -- for the record, I always search first but never seem to find anything.
Anyhow, this must have come up before but has anyone every successfully replaced the battery in MY PRETTY PONY? I'd love to try but if I muck it up there's no turning back.

Yes. I have done it. The cover comes off easily and the "clock" comes right out. It is about the cheapest timepiece you could ever imagine. But then no one was ever really supposed to see it. It seemed pretty fragile to me so I took it to a jewelry store where I knew the people and had them pop out the old battery and put in the new one. It's simple to do. Just be really careful (I know I don't need to say this) not to scratch the outer finish of the book while you are taking it apart or putting it back together.

[surly]

well, that boosts my confidence a little. thanks Bob, i'll give it a try.

[Rahfa]

I think I read somewhere thatin Pretty Pony, "the battery was expected to wear out and was part of the book's charm" or something equally pretentious...so I don't think it would affect value or anything.

But, like Bob did, if you have a working clock, that puts you one up on everyone else...

My copy of The Waste Lands S/L comes with a trade edition DJ. Anyone else's the same? I looked at the Grant website for information. They list all DJs that are available and unavailable but there's only one kind of a jacket for TWL S/L.

That is the way they all are. Yours is OK.

Throw back a few belts to steady your nerves, then go for it!

I would not worry about having a working clock but I definately would replace regularly or remove the battery as they will eventually leak and corode the insides and once that happens it will never work again.

Good idea!

I don't own it, so never had to think about it.

I am looking at purchasing a Black House limited edition, the limitation # is in the 1100's.
My question is if/when a Talisman 3 comes out how many copies do you think King would authorize for the new book?
I would hope to own a Black House Limited in the # range to be quailified to purchase the Talisman 3..that is if Grant is the pubilsher...
With the latest announcement of only 800 of The Wind Through The keyhole I would guess there would 1000 or less of Talisman 3 if it ever comes out......

Thanks Brian.

[Ric]

If Grant sticks to their standard M.O. then having a Black House won't mean squat when (if?) Talisman 3 comes out. All that will matter is having a S/L edition of whatever the most recent King book Grant had published up to that time. When Black House came out, you had to have a S/L Wizard & Glass to get one. Having a S/L Talisman didn't mean jack.

Agree. Of course, question may still be relevant if you are looking to match numbers...

Thanks...My question should have been do you need the last limited in the series or just the last limited they sold.
I have a low # LSOE and plan to get TWTTK...hopefully ther will be a Talisman 3.....
