I would probably try and get a Talisman S/L. I think they are roughly around that price. Great looking set.
As much as I like Skeleton Crew as a book, I think Firestarter is the superior S/L. The cover art is better and it's King's first limited. A must have for anyone collecting King limiteds, IMO.
Doesnt sound much at all...

Hi team. Any thoughts on the value of the UK Illustrated edition of Salem's Lot in fine condition? Thanks.
"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
Ah thank you. Had a chance to grab a second copy for about £25 and was thinking someone in the U.S. May want it, but sounds as though they can get them cheaper. Cheers ears.

Hey guys, just looking to stimulate some convo. I noticed that David sold a Carrie Lettered for $5k. I think they were $4k when released (US funds)... so are you guys surprised at that? I have to say, I am a bit. The other thing he sold I found a little shocking was the artist set of DT books. I just built one in F/F with a few remarques. I have a Whelan remarqued Gunslinger (just the KA symbol), Dameron and McKeen remarques as well. But all 1st's and artist signed. I pegged my set at $2500'ish. David sold his for $3350! Thoughts on this guys?

The Waste Lands in the Betts set is a PC copy of the S/L edition. Phil Hale "remarque" (looks like a sketch to me) adds value too.
I bet if the Carrie buyer was from the US, $4999 is probably less than what it would've cost direct from PS after custom$$$. That's just a guess though, I don't own a lettered Carrie.
I think that particular set is a bit disjointed with the inclusion of the PC S/L. I'm also trying to create an AE (signed not remarqued) set and I would only expect to have 1sts of I - IV and AE's of V-VII plus LSOE and WTTKH. Each to their own however.

TOTALLY agree. Having the S/L ruined it for me. I think he would have been better to use a remarque Dameron that he is selling in that same upload and sell that differently. The only reason I have a remarque in mine is cause I could NOT find a Mckean signed only... very rare. And the other two were gifts (the remarques). Do you feel a true artist set is about $2500 Simon or would you peg it higher? What about you Alan?

DT1 Signed by Whelan - $800
DT II Signed by Hale - $80
DT III Signed by Dameron - $100 - $120
DT IV Signed by McKean - $200 - $250 (that maybe low as he rarely signs)
DTV - DTVI AE Edition $150 each
DT VII AE Edition $60
WTTKH AE - $100
LSOE AE - $225

Of course selling as a complete set may add a small premium, but def less than $2500 (IMHO)

also bear in mind that the books in Davids set had remarques - my total is based on signature only.

I hope this is the right thread. What is a reasonable value of the Centipede Salem´s Lot traycased set with the Uelmann Prints for me as seller. Thanks!
