Congratulations that is a nice viewOriginally Posted by SystemCrashOverRide
Something wonderful came in the mail today. I can thank a certain Caretaker for taking care of me and my collection.
Lined up with some other pieces. It feels SO good to have the Grant line up.

Dang, that's a sweet collection. I'm going to have to get back to scouring the local sales... ebay just isn't what it used to be :-/
You made it! Glad to see a fellow Redditor.
I've been stock piling a few new additions. Time to photo dump before Christmas hits. I've also discovered how to edit photo size, so it should be a little more reasonable from here on out.
First things first, It's ALWAYS nice to get mail Directly from King himself...
And you thought I meant Stephen. Shame on you. You know what they say about those that assume?
Signed on the package;
And the book:
I got something from the other son as well

Exciting! Congratulations! And you had me going there with the mail from King..
Very nice new additions. I like the Owen King book. Are you going to keep the signed packing?
Absolutely.

Cool additions, I especially love the Owen King signed package.
Your copy of Wastelands seems incredibly Black. I have seen a couple of others that look black as well. Mine and the majority of others I have seen for sale (including the image posted in the Catalog) is far more blue. Were there different variants for this or were the extra DJ's sold by Grant blacker?Something wonderful came in the mail today.

"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
I think it's just the photograph and the lighting. Hopefully we don't have another DJ variant to deal with!
Definitely blue. Forgive me for sounding like a bit of an ass, but to me it's quite clearly blue next to the black of Wizard and Glass. Have you had your eyes tested recently?
Here's hoping I have some new additions tomorrow morning!
Trying me hand at remarque's, I've promoted it in my Haven art thread but I hope more people will see them here.
First remarque, soon to be auctioned; Dreamcatcher 1st/1st

Very nice!
Recent additions. I will be selling/trading the previous copies I have of these books as these new ones are all in better condition. Please feel free to make offers on my other copies of The Gunslinger,TDotT and Wastelands. Also, I know this has been discussed elsewhere, but for the sake of protecting the books and retaining value, should these be opened and brodarted, or left alone?
To each his own. I personally remove the shrink wrap the minute I own the book. I put them in Brodart covers and/or slipcases. Either way, nice additions!!
Very nice additions Chase. My wastelands is still in shrink wrap 15+ years after I bought it.
Congrats on the new additions.... Many collectors will say to remove the shrinkwrap. It has been known to stick to the cover over the years and thereby damage it... I'm one of those guys who generally does not remove shrink wrap. I have lots of books with the plastic still on...
I almost always remove the shrink wrap. The only exceptions are some of the UK limiteds that have additional information on the shrink wrap. Those, I carefully slit the wrap so I can inspect the book.
John
I agree with, John. I used to leave the shrink intact and then I learned that the shrink can actually degrade the book over time to a degree. Now I always open and inspect them and then brodart the DJ. I also try to slipcase them whenever I can.
Hey, how's the next art piece coming along?
