That's less than shibus!

Neat symmetry Becca.

Welcome, Tommy! Glad you came out of the shadows and into the light.


Edit:

Alan, astute observation.

[divemaster]

I'm about to leave the office. Perhaps it will be waiting for me when I get home?

[tippy4]

I have one that I am waiting on as well.....in fact the person who ordered it for me received their unsigned already....that is making me nervous.

[Patrick]

I know of two more S/L's going to different people at different California addresses via Fed Ex that have yet to arrive. So much for the quick turnaround time that was purchased at a premium.



EDIT: Reduce the referenced quantity by half. Tippy, I have received #487.

[TwistedNadine]

is 621 the one I sold for you?

Yep

[tippy4]

Yep

Updated.

[Patrick]

Are you still updating, Rick? Or was that post only in reference to TN?

[tippy4]

I think I am totally updated....so let me know if I have missed.

[Patrick]

Just up thread: I have #487.

[Rainet]

Tippy. I meant I gave my number in post #118 back on page 5, but it must of been overlooked. My number is 471.

[Randall Flagg]

You are missing something...

[EXPLORER]

P has arrived.

[Kingfan24]

256 WANTED I have 257 that has been opened to verify signature and number. Still have shrink-wrap and original shipping materials.

I just received my copy from the UK. I got the last in the edition #724. So I've gotten the highest possible Joyland and the lowest possible UK TWTTKH (not including the replacement copy).

Then you have the ONLY 2 numbers that mean anything at all (extra) in any print run. Either the first or the last. Anything else is absolute BS, and evenly equal in their "rarity". I laugh every time anybody gets excited by a "low" number- why? Unless it's #1 (and only as a novelty), or whatever the last # is (again as a cool novelty)- it's maddeningly meaningless. People make up reasons to get excited about something. This is how we get religion. And Reality TV.

So, congrats, I say!

Wow, really. I just thought it was interesting that it happened that way. I don't really care what number I receive unless it's supposed to match my other books.

You might want to take a pill.

[becca69]

Oh and 19 is actually the best number...

You criticize those that assign value to low numbers, and then YOU assign value to #1 and #724 as if they have any more meaning.

I agree that low #s should not be worth any more than high #s......but since many collector's do value low #s, they become more valuable.

I'll take #19 off your hands, if you ever or have one.

[Randall Flagg]

All numbers are meaningless. Letters even less valuable. I have a regular unnumbered copy of Joyland that I will trade straight up for some "maddeningly meaningless" (as long as it isn't #1, #724, Letter A, or letter Z,- those suck!) lettered or numbered copy.
PP gift me $6 for media mail shipping (USA) and once I receive your worthless edition, I'll mail my non-frustrating copy off to you.

[Patrick]

I like lower numbers, but not enough to pay extra than I would for a higher number. Exceptions would be when trying to match a specific number, and/or any Dark Tower series' books below #501.
