Stephen King Collecting Questions

[tippy4]

4/29/10 Per Glimmer Graphics- Phil Hale submitted only ~ 7 of the 10 original art pieces requested. The original piece is not numbered, only added to a few Red folder editions.

There are thought to be 10-20 red folder portfolios.

I would think more just based on the fact that I have one as well.

Thats at least four accounted for from three members.

So, is the below considered to be a PC Copy of Skeleton Crew?

I bought it from Lloyd at LWCurrey books as the Signed/Limited Edition. Received it today.

WHOOPS....

BIG return on that. ANY respectable book dealer would issue a FULL REFUND. If there are ANY out there that would not... please tell me so I know for my own AND your safety. Sorry to hear this Tim

This would be my guess AKC: and congrats!
There were also 25 unsigned PC copies of the limited edition book, The overruns are the same as the limited edition, except they are not signed or numbered. For a picture of the official letter from Scream Press about this click here Also the black slipcase may or may not have the Skeleton Picture pasted to it (depending on the book) I own two PC copies, one has the picture on the slipcase, the other does not....$300-$350 (from SKCollector's site).

This is the letter referenced...

Interesting that the signature, limitation page on the Limited Editions contain the Skeleton. This one is just BLACK and BLANK.

Looking for confirmation as to what the hell I have going on here....

Talked to Lloyd at LWCurrey books and he offered a full refund but, prior to sending it back, am really curious what the hell this version is.....

Oh. Sorry AKC, I thought you were happy with the purchase. I can't see why they don't accept the return, or perhaps refund the difference of the real value of the book if you wanted to keep it. Good luck.

Thanks for all of the initial feedback. Interesting that, according to the description of the PC copies, they should be the exact same as the signed copies. This one, as mentioned, does not have the Skeleton on the limitation page. Just a blank page.

Sent a pic to David and he said he's never seen a copy like this either.

Oh well, sending it back to Llyod for a full refund!

[bdwyer19]

Very odd, Tim. Well I guess we know now why it was 50% off!

[Dan]

There was a Skeleton Crew like this on ebay very recently. I'm not sure if it sold. They tried to play it up like it was even more special because it was limited to 25.

[zelig]

Very strange.

[Dan]

Actually, still on ebay

Skeleton Crew

edit*
plus it comes with a random birthday card that has been used already.

[Ari_Racing]

BUMP:

Does anyone here have this item and could share a pic?:

A celebration of the life and achievements of Evan Hunter A.K.A, Ed McBain ("On Ed McBain" Paperback program bookley new york society of ethical culture in NY"

I only have a screenshot from the one that was on the website : On Ed McBain - He wrote like an angel

Yeap. I have that one. But does anyone own the actual physical piece?

[ke7285]

I also have this one, no slipcase and some other art work is missing, it came with letter from scream press.

[zelig]

Looking for some opinions on this signature. Thanks guys.

[Merlin1958]

Not sure, but FWIW I wouldn't want it in my collection. Fugly at best. IMHO

[carlosdetweiller]

I would buy it. What book is it in?

[Merlin1958]

I thought it was a legit sig. Good to get an experts take. I too am curious to know the title.

You can't have it both ways. Granted you didn't say it was bogus, but you said it was "Fugly".

It's a legit inscription and signature and IMO beautiful, not (paraphrasing here), "fucking ugly" as you said.

[Merlin1958]

In retrospect perhaps it was a poor choice of words. Though I initially thought it was legit from experience, my first thought at seeing it was it screamed "Forgery" because it looks somewhat childish(?) especially considering the date. Back then his signature was still"young" so to speak and not the scribble it has become these days.

I'm not trying to knock him or the sig. As a former signator I am fully aware what happens when you are signing your name a thousand plus times a day!!! It was just a knee jerk observation and I apologize if I came off wrong.

Gorgeous signature......WOW. What is it in?

[webstar1000]

I think that signature is nice too... Totally actually. Sorry Bill

[Merlin1958]

It's okay, pile it on boys. I have big shoulders!! LOL LOL

[TCCBodhi]

I think I've seen this one before, but I can't recall the book it's in. It's not the best out there, but it's nicer and more flowing than any of handful of flatsigned sigs I've got and many of the S/L's (and I RELISHED when one of my books came up in the middle of a debate on another seller's book's authenticity ) I'd call this a middle of the pack signature. I wouldn't kick it out of my collection, but wouldn't be the first I showed off.
