Stephen King dated inscriptions needed

[Randall Flagg]

Much like I did the thread and wiki article with legitimate King sigs from 1980 to present, I would like to create another reference with at least one (but the more the better) King inscription from present to as far back as possible. The clearer the image, and the more lengthy or insider the inscription the better. PM me please with the images.

Thanks to 3 members who have helped so far.
My idea is to create a wiki article(s) that chronologically shows every King inscription I can find. If I title the article(s) and tag-words properly, members can search by year, month, name, reference etc.

RF, don't forget that nice inscription from the "Intriguing" thread:

I didn't. Thanks.

I'm scouring eBay for any interesting ones, but most I'm finding are the regular "best wishes" types:

We also need to verify the legitimacy of each one. Before I catalog it, hopefully members will verify/deny the authenticity.

Should we also collect the simple "best wishes" ones? Just for posterity's sake, especially if it is dated?

Knock yourself out (save the file). I am looking for inscriptions that are dated. Thus it hopefully contains the recipients name, words, and a date.

This is an interesting one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/VERY-RARE-SI...item51a0894930

Looking forward to this. Thanks for putting this together RF

Here's the one from my Cujo proof, been verified before (bought from David and discussed at length back in the Proofs thread a year ago or so):



Do you want original large jpeg files?

This one MUST be included:



A large version is available from Heritage Auctions here (they have good pics of several other inscriptions):

See, now I would have said this one is a fake ... it looks nothing like his later stuff. And wouldn't you think the inscription is just too perfect, I mean the very first book he ever signed? Would you believe it if it was on eBay rather than Heritage? No way! I'm assuming they have a substantial paper trail of ownership to provide a lock-tight provenance.

I don't like it--I don't care if it's offered by Heritage or not--I just don't like the signature whatsoever. I'm talking about the first one mentioned, to Flip and Karen.

They are all as legit as they can be. I wish I had all of them in my collection.

What book did he sign, Carrie?

[biomieg]

There are many more but most of the sold items don't have 'signed' in the title so you would need to click the title to find out...

What book did he sign, Carrie?

This is from a CARRIE ARC (it sold for over $11,000) - the auction was discussed here when it was announced and I don't think anyone doubted its legitimacy.

[Cook]

Is it just me? 1 year difference between these inscriptions.

Any idea of who are those Flip & Karen?
Is there a picture or a link to this Carrie Pre Proof sold?

[carlosdetweiller]

This item received a lot of discussion back in March and April when it was offered by Heritage. I'm surprised you don't remember.

Didn't keep a link. Just searched the Heritage completed auctions. That was really one of the best King items I have ever seen for sale. Truly remarkable. But, personally, I just couldn't generate much desire to own it. I think it was the fact that the inscription page was loose from the rest of the book. I think if that wasn't the case I would have been a serious player.
