Stephen King Collecting Questions

[mae]

And where would one procure these?

[atomgl]

I have null set and will trade it for another rare piece

[atomgl]

Carlos detweiler do you have any of the others?

[carlosdetweiller]

Yes.

[carlosdetweiller]

I posted the story of "Null Set" (at least what I know about it) in the thread started yesterday in the Collectibles Catalog. This seems to be a redundant thread.

Can you please give a link to this?

[atomgl]

would you be willing to work some kind of trade? would love to be able to read those. thanks in advance

They all sound great!

FYI, this is the Catalog (a bit like a wikipedia). Questions should be posed elsewhere, not by creating an "article". I'll move these posts to the Collecting Questions thread shortly.

hey, those stories were in the ebook version of my bibliography from last year! i had actually known about them for almost a decade and wasn't allowed to mention the titles until a couple of years ago. honestly, i'm surprised (and a little disconcerted) that "The Null Set" is now in the wider trading circle.

But that's good, hogging stories is not cool People want to read the stories I'm sure. I know I'd love to. And it's unlikely these things would be published in King's lifetime.

I moved the posts here. The Catalog is like an encyclopedia (wiki), and the initial "article" should not have been posted.

i agree about the hogging, but there are a lot of things to consider. my understanding was that King's office was pretty hot about the stories getting out there. so, if they started to get disseminated, then whoever "leaked" them in the first place risks their credibility and may no longer get any rare King pieces. one example is a certain piece that i had from a collector. a few years ago, someone started talking about it on a forum and that collector came back to me and was very upset, asking why i had shared it. in actuality, i did not share it and the person who was posting on the message board had gotten it from an alternate source. at any rate, it can be a delicate issue.

atomgl, may i ask what you traded to get it?

i guess to be clearer on the subject, i think that the people that are "hogging" the stories aren't necessarily doing that because they don't want to share. they are doing it because their source gave it to them in confidence and if they shared it, their credibility and friendship would be shot and they would not get anything further from that person.

I just don't feel like certain things should only be accessible by a select few. If it's out there, it should be out there, otherwise King shouldn't have let it out. I like how, for instance, all of HP Lovecraft's writings have been collected (except the innumerable letters), and are more or less easily accessible (the essays less so now, sadly).

By the process of elimination I have concluded that the guilty party in this leakage was Tyson Blue. Tyson, if you are reading this (and even if you aren't reading this) you are a douchebag.

From what I've heard and read, these stories were never intentionally released by King or his office. It's up to him to decide what to do with them and, should they be released, how.

How about sharing them with me?

[atomgl]

i traded a complete set of castle rock's, complete set of starmont stephen king series, and black and magic and music. Got taxed a bit but I really like reading as much stuff as possible.

[Rahfa]

Is there a story about this "Null Set" situation - that link above just goes to a blank forum?

[you ever seen a ghost?]

i think the story is what Bob said on the previous page.

-justin

[atomgl]

oh yeah justin i also had to throw in a copy of "King's" 1973 novel of satanism EXORCISM written under the name Eth Natas.

Ok, now you're just showing off!
