5 Minutes or less-3 Items Max-What do you take?

[Sir_Boomme]

(BTW - when I get home.. I'm throwing my lettered gunslinger in with my doubleday stuff)

[Randall Flagg]

the drum
2 of the 5 boxes of the Doubleday collection

but I'd probably burn up attempting to get the rest out.

Boxes don't count.
Boxes contain multiple items. If I had a box, I could take dozens of books.
Go back and re-select.

[biomieg]

Jerome will take:

Lettered Song of Kali
TMSG
Box with 500 unfolded Fine Gunslinger DJs

*edit: shit, Jerome says boxes aren't allowed.

[biomieg]

Bob won't take anything, he will be using an Asbestos Firestarter and his 'Bataan Death March' stamina to manually extinguish the fire!

Fine Gunslinger DJ's are in rather large tubes. Certainly less than 500 in them. But I would not be able to take the tubes with all 211 DJ's, I'd have to only take one DJ.

[LostAlivE]

Just have to stay and burn up with them.......what can I say.

[biomieg]

My serious guess for Bob would be:

SK letter to Forry Ackerman(n?)
Michael Whelan painting
Asbestos Firestarter

but dammit... by the time I went through the box and found what I wanted to take out and save... I could have already carried out the box...
I think you set the fire... and you're just trying to steal my stuff.

SK letter to Forry Ackerman(n?)
Michael Whelan painting
Asbestos Firestarter

Asbestos Firestarter <= leave it, take something else... it's ugly, and being asbestos, it has a 50/50% chance of surviving the fire anyways.

[Randall Flagg]

Cute, but doesn't answer the question.

[zelig]

My serious guess for Bob would be:

SK letter to Forry Ackerman(n?)
Michael Whelan painting
Asbestos Firestarter

That sounds likely for what Bob might choose.

And Bruce.... That 1st shelf!? Oh my goodness... amazing seeing those all together like that...

I have actually given this question some thought over the years. But the way I posed it to myself was if I could safely make it down to the basement and back one time what would I carry. There is only one entrance/exit (down the stairs) so it is taking a risk to go down there at all if a fire was raging.

Playing by Jerome's rules of only three items I would not take the asbestos Firestarter. There are at least 24 others out there so that could be replaced. I think I would take the copy of 'Salem's Lot with the first state dust jacket, one of the Whelan paintings from The Gunslinger (probably The Temple of the Oracle but maybe the Firestarter) and the handwritten manuscript for The New Lieutenant's Rap (partly because it is in very close proximity to the first two).

If I could make one trip and was limited by only how much I could carry on that one trip I would take the 'Salem's Lot and as many Whelan paintings as I could carry.

[biomieg]

I completely forgot about the 1st state 'Salem's Lot... excellent choice.

[needfulthings]

THEN ONLY 1 BOOK.....

Spoiler:

I HAVEN'T FINISHED READING IT YET

[Sir_Boomme]

oh bob... but I cry for those long doubleday proofs... but can't argue with the Salem's lot or NLR... though I might let that painting burn and grab a long proof instead... not sure. tough choices

[sharki69]

I'll take the Hobbit signed & inscribed I got from Gerald for $200,000

Edit - never mind, it's not king

Very tough. Jerome, can I bring Judy down with me and let her carry up an additional three items?

[carlosdetweiller]

Yeah, let that crap burn.

[jsweet]

Well, my collection is not nearly as impressive as most of you, so it's pretty easy. Almost everything I have is replaceable and most of it is easily replaceable.

That said:
Rose Red papers/desk organizer prop from mini-series (hardest to replace - not sure if there are others out there)
Postscripts 10 signed (my first signed Stephen King item)
Knowing Darkness signed edition (it's the most expensive King item I've ever bought).

[Sir_Boomme]

oh my... got me thinking about that signed rose red script now...
dang, gonna miss that

Don't you have a Lettered Regulators Prototype? Please save that!!!

Hoarding causes fires Jerome.

[carlosdetweiller]

I will if Jerome lets Judy go down with me.

I think that should be in the rules. Every family member gets 3 items!
