Just arrived today!! One of the few King short fiction originals I'm still missing, now checked off the want-list! Whoo-hoo!!!
WOW!!! Congratulations!
John
congrats! Not bad for a $1
"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
Thanks, John!!!
Stroppy - oh man, don't I wish!! The amount I paid for this is really obscene. I'm going to take a few deep breaths and not think about it.
Nice, and it looks to be in excellent condition as well!Originally Posted by NoahM

Goheat - Thanks!! Yep, it's in perfect shape!!
Congratulations. And I find not thinking about what I paid for some items does actually help!
Zelig - thanks, man!! Yep, I'm sure when the Visa bill arrives this month, there will definitely be some vomiting going on. Until then, I'm dancing!
I think we all have at least one item in our collections that we feel the same way about!Stroppy - oh man, don't I wish!! The amount I paid for this is really obscene. I'm going to take a few deep breaths and not think about it.

Boy, ain't that the truth, lol!
Congrats NoahM!
John - Ahhhhh. . .were it just one!!!
Killjoy - Thanks!!!!
I would say that the condition justifies the cost of a pretty penny x obscene. CongratsThanks, John!!!

Thanks, Racerx! I lucked out on the condition of this one. . .Honestly though - I would have spent just as much for a beat-up copy. . .I've only ever come across this once before, years ago, and at the time it was way beyond my budget.
Well, now that this has been added to the collection, I only have 4 UMO-related items left to find!
Congratulations Noah on such a rarity. Good luck on finding the final four you need!
Thanks, Jon!! Clamp this; clamp that; badda-climp, badda-clamp! It's Clamps!
I want that! CongratsI used to own most of the 'post-1967 pre-Carrie/college era stuff' except two of the four issues of Ubris, Marshroots and Maine, none of which I ever even saw for sale during my years of collecting, and although I'm not actively looking for those magazines anymore I really love seeing them pop up like this. Awesome!
By the way, slightly offtopic: you have good taste in music
Michael - Thanks so much!! Regarding the UMO-era stuff: I'm only missing 4 pieces now, other than issues of Maine Campus, which I'm not including since copies of this will almost certainly never circulate. The 4 I'm still looking for are 2 of the 4 issues of Ubris, Marshroots, and Contraband #1.
I've never seen any of these for sale, ever, but a number of people in this group own copies of both Marshroots and C1. No idea where they found them or how I missed them!
Regarding Maine magazine - I've only ever seen one copy of this for sale, and I bought it! No idea how many people have copies of Maine mag or Maine Review. They're both much less common than Onan, Moth, Io, etc.
Oh, thanks!! If you're on Facebook - look me up under the name Noah Mitchell - you'll LOVE my metal t-shirt collection. I have over 1000 rock/metal t-shirts. You can also check out my collection on TShirtSlayer.com - my user name is "NoahM" \m/
I used to own Contraband #1 and the two Ubris issues that you are missing. Sold them to a member here.
Bob (carlosdetweiller) on this site owns the full run of Maine Campus mags (except the ones containing the Slade installments, I believe) and AFAIK he also owns just about anything else that King wrote. As a new member of this website, it's absolutely mandatory that you check his collection thread and basically every post he wrote. Bob, Sir_Boomme and EXPLORER even own items from King's high school days (as early as 1963). I think it's safe to say that most of the world's largest King collectors are members here.
Michael - OHHHHHHHH!!!! You sold Contraband 1 and the 2 Ubrises to someone else!! BALLS!! Where was I??
Regarding Maine Campus - the ones with Slade are the only ones I'd want, as I really don't collect non-fiction unless it's book-length. I have photocopies of all of the Garbage Truck issues.
That's really impressive - I will check out those guys' collections, although I'm sure it'll make me cry! High-school era stuff! Oh my god!
People have the 2 Ubris issues I'm missing and Marshroots and C1 - where do they find them?? Oh - is there a place on this site where you can put your "want-list"? I'd love to put up my short want-list somewhere, and then if anyone wants to sell their Marshroots or Ubris issues, I won't miss out!
Yeah, there is a King Items Wanted thread (it may have dropped off the first page). You could also consider adding a short want list to your 'signature' so it will appear underneath your posts (like I do with my first name).
Oooh - yeah, I'd love to add my want-list underneath my posts. . . how do you do that? Sorry, I'm a computer idiot!
Just add it as your signature. It's in the settings when you're logged in. Click Settings, then Edit Signature on the left.
Go to 'Settings' (top right of the screen) and then find 'Edit signature' in the column on the left. There is a limit to the number of characters but you should be able to add a short want-list.
*edit: Paul beat me to it!
