The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
I joined about a year ago and am just now getting around to introducing myself. My name's Eddie and I have been reading Stephen King books since I was turned on to The Gunslinger back about 20 years ago. It is still my favorite work. I didn't start collecting until about three years ago (there's a regret!), and my most treasured book is my limited copy of The Eyes of the Dragon.
Welcome Eddie!
Welcome, Eddie! We'd sure like to see pics of your collection!

Hi Eddie, glad to have you here. Hope we hear from you with more regularity!

I'm just starting out, looking to collect 1st editions of SK.
Anyone have a good place to get signed 1st editions? Seems like I've found some places but it's hard to be sure which are good, legit dealers and those who maybe are not.
Start with Betts Bookstore. www.bettsbooks.com

Left elbow even hurts if I pick up a cup of coffee, right shoulder aint gonna let me pitch at all, left leg/foot numbness - at least the burning is controlled by Lyrica - visoin blurry at times due to the Lyrica! trigger finger - have ya heard of this - its due to arthritus - thank god its only for the first 15 minutes or so when I get up. HOWEVER, my mind is sharp as a tack - .........ouch!

Hello,
My name is Steve, I live in Northern California and have been a SK fan since the first book of his I picked up, that was COW. I am not sure when I became a collector but have been doing that for some time now. My most prized collectible would have to be my lettered edition of The Stand.

Hi Steve, welcome to TDT.org and Calvin's Corner! Always good to see another Northern Californian.
"...that Siren which called and sang and promised so much and gave, after all, so little." ~ Ray Bradbury
And that last statement means that you HAVE to create a collection thread and SHOW US PICTURES!!!
"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 agree. We need pictures!
John
Thanks Patrick.
Stroppygoblin - I'll work on getting some good photos and posting them.And that last statement means that you HAVE to create a collection thread and SHOW US PICTURES!!!
