Who has the Carrie PS lettered edition?

[Randall Flagg]

If there were Lettered Danse Macabre's for sale at $3K, Mr. Rabbit Trick would buy 3.

That's the point. There are none for sale. You cannot buy one. So the price can be anything you want. $10,000 or $20,000 you cannot get one.

[Rahfa]

Well, not recently, but I have seen it for sale - and it certainly wasn't priced at $10K. Granted, that was years ago.

I just don't think the book has the panache to get that price - but if you're willing to pay it, then I guess it does.

The "Transgressions" s/l has only 200 copies, is signed by many authors, and goes for $350 on a good day. I don't think numbers equal value as much as interest does.

EDIT: Apparently one was part of a big collection listed thru Betts in 2006 - don't know if it sold individually or not.

[Randall Flagg]

Don't wish to officially speak for Mr. Rabbit Trick, but 2006 was quite some time ago, and I still believe "panache" or not (plain boring presentation), were the book to come up on ebay, the price would be $10K+, and then the auction would be removed for an "error in listing".
Supply and demand.
I don't want the book, but 15 people have it-likely none will be sold until they die, and at least 3 people (with the financial wherewithal) want it.

I once had three of the 15 copies. I sold one to Mr. Rabbit Trick. Still have two left. I would definitely sell one of mine for $10K.

That statement made my night Bob. Lol

I only have one copy of the lettered Danse Macabre and although I hate to sell anything I just have one of-if someone offers me $10K, I would really have to do it. With just 15 lettered editions, very tough to find.
I plan to sell it before I die-I hope!

[Rahfa]

Well - I'll just say this...for all my time on this site and DT.com, I can remember exactly zero times where anyone talked about the Danse Macarbe lettered edition as being THE preeminent lettered edition of them all. And if we're saying it's worth $10K, then it's in second place behind the Asbestos Firestarter? Really?

To keep it on topic, I would say I'm a little disappointed in the whole traycase model of the Carrie lettered - I'm not sure how else to do it, but I do know that nobody's tried something unique like the zippered Skeleton Crew or even the Regulators toybox in a long time. The Salem's lettered edition went big, which was neat, but not unique.

[Pasiuk57]

Rahfa--got to agree with you!
Think of the lettered Firestarter, Skeleton Crew and Regulators-amazing items in my opinion-real unique-even the Stand and S/L Regulators are pretty cool.

Wish I had $10K lying around that I wouldn't miss....

[AKC]

So the list only shows 6 copies in the hands of TDT members.

I know that David is still waiting on his copy. Anybody else?

The 2006 copy that you are referring to was part of Chris Cavalier's collection. It was #C / 15, contained the glassine wrapper, slipcase and came with the original mailing box from Everest House. It sold for $1800. Granted it was 8 years ago, but I don't feel that this book would command $10K+ today irregardless of how often it comes up for sale. If you think it does, I will gladly trade you one for a Lettered Regulators and a Lettered Skeleton Crew.

I love this discussion. I would love to see a poll that asks the question "do you think PS Lettered Carrie is worth the money". Most, obviously will be going from pictures as only a few members have them. One thing that really bothered me was that King's name is off center... looks like a mistake. Does any of the owners find that bothersome?

[AKC]

Wanted to give a SHOUT OUT to Pete.

He just left me a voicemail advising me the status of my Lettered Carrie and that I should be expecting it soon. Thanked me for the patience and wished me well in every regard.

Class act and a nice touch in support of this very limited production. Thought it deserved recognition.

Not to me.

[zelig]

My copy just arrived today. I'm out and about so will probably post some pictures tomorrow in my collection thread.

[thegunslinger41]

Anyone else in the USA ( other than Zelig) receive their lettered Carrie yet?

[AKC]

Assume any day now!

[tippy4]

[Randall Flagg]

What letter?

[needfulthings]

I THINK I'LL JUST SETTLE FOR THIS ONE!

[zelig]

Show off!

[AKC]

I THINK I'LL JUST SETTLE FOR THIS ONE!

Congratulations!

Can't get enough of Carrie!
