Questions and Comments on our Catalogs

[Randall Flagg]

I think the Insomnia pics were posted a few pages back. If so, I've been recalcitrant on that one. The others will require help as I don't own any of them.

Jerome,

I think you have the Cycle Of Werewolf porfolio pics I sent you?.

WTF. Where did that come from?

[tippy4]

I thought the same thing.

Had to look it up.

My mind.
It means-to me, I have slacked off.

Jerome,

That's the one I have been recalcitrant about.
I'll go look for it soon.

[jemaher]

I'm not recalcitrant, I'm just enthusiastic about apathy!

[tippy4]

I "borrowed" these images from an auction that is currently running.

Thanks Tippy. I added the book. I'm not thrilled with my text, so if someone has any improvements let me know.
I also need the issue price.

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

The text is fine. Can't help with the issue price.

Great work, Jerome and everyone helping him.

$500

[Randall Flagg]

Thanks Bob.

[Randall Flagg]

I posted the Cycle of the werewolf Portfolio. Don't know what the issue price was.

Still need help on these:

1994 Insomnia portfolio 400
1998 Legends 50 + 200 = 250

Do you think we should add The Green Mile The Two Dead Girls signed by King and limited to 36 copies to the signed/limited collection?

We have the Fantasy & Science Fiction magazine signed/limited, so why not this?

[jhanic]

Which edition is this? I have a copy of The Two Dead Girls limited edition contest manuscript that is signed by King, but I thought there were only six copies issued. A thumbnail is attached.

That's the one John. There were 36 as noted in the letter from the publisher that came with it.

[jhanic]

The copy I got (see below) says:

Six winners were chosen for each chapter and each won a final manuscript of that particular chapter, signed by Stephen King, with his handwritten corrections in the margins. The the Grand Prize winner was chosen from all 36 chapter winners. The first entry (for The Two Dead Girls) was the final winner.

I've never seen any reference, however, to any of the other five chapter manuscripts. I don't even know if they exist.

Hmmmm good question.

Along the same lines....what about this?

This is the signed bookmark King sent out to those still on his waiting list to get a book signed just before the release of The Revised Gunslinger (Ignore the copy of The Stand in the photo).

And this?

The signed book plate from the Tom Allen Campaign.

I've never seen any reference to the other five chapters either, so I presumed all 36 winners got the same one. They must have got *something* as a prize.

If there are only 6 of these I would be most happy, but I doubt it.

The title in the Stephen King Collectibles Catalog is Signed, Numbered or Lettered Editions, so IMO it should only be books.

[tippy4]

Yeah, but there are already non-book items in there.

Cujo Guitar
Rainy Season Print
Letters From Hell
DT1 Audio
DT2 Audio
Insomnia Portfoilo (pending)
Cycle of the Werewolf Portfolio

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

Yeah, but there are alreay non book items in there.

Cujo Guitar
Rainy Season Print
Letters From Hell
DT1 Audio
DT2 Audio
Insomnia Portfoilo
Cycle of the Werewolf Portfolio

I know and that's why I wrote IMO. Just my opinion.

[tippy4]

Perhaps a name change to the section might be in order?

How about changing

Signed, Numbered or Lettered Editions,

to

Signed, Limited Editions?

Then, three items listed above would fit the description since none of them are lettered or numbered (just like the Fantasy and Science Ficiton Magazine already in the catalog).

I dunno...just bouncing around an idea.

Being the nerd that I am, I just went to Meriam Webster Dictionary.com and looked up LIMITED EDITION

"An issue of something collectible (as books, prints, or medals) that is advertised to be limited to a relatively small number of copies "

Jerome? Thoughts?

[Randall Flagg]

I think we have to be a bit careful and considerate what we add. Technically we could have an entry for any and every thing signed by King. The initial idea was we would catalog books. That evolved with things mentions such as the Cujo Guitar, Rainy Season print etc.
I honestly don't have a clearcut answer I can hang my hat on-and in fact would prefer not to be (although if it comes down to it I guess I must give some defining opinion) the ultimate arbiter on the matter.
I'd like for other Collector's-people able to present rational thoughts far better than I, to weigh in on the matter.
