I actually have a portfolio and foldout poster. Just don't have the book.

Ahhh! You are ahead of the game. The portfolio was never released with the S/L but it's nice to have, that's for sure.

You should be able to pickup a SC S/L without poster for around $500. Maybe even $450 or so.

Man that low now? Ouch

I've been looking around at EotD S/L....really like the look of the book and not really picky about having a F/F book or even a SK sig (weird, I know).

Anywho, can I have some opinions on these....

Nice try on the sellers part for the first book to put a positive spin on the lack of signature ('These are much rarer than the signed copies..."). You could paint it blue and it would then be a one of a kind, Most collectors wouldn't want it however

for an unsigned (for all intents and purposes, a Publishers copy) I think the price is too high. I think <$400 would be realistic.

The second is a better buy, even though it has one of those godforsaken vanity stamps (for the love of god people, don't do that to a collectible book!) again a little high, because of the flaws, maybe $500 - $550?

Thanks! I'll make sure I look after them!

Can anyone tell me the going rate for the Sub Press Gift Ed. of the Green Mile?

$200.
$250 if your name is in it for walking the Mile.

Had somewhat forgotten about that and had to get mine out and search for my name again. Nice edition either way.

1975 King inscription on a 1st 'Salem's Lot? What's a reasonable range for this one?

A lot. Talk has been extensive here... but north of $40G doesn't seem out of the question...

[Kingfan24]

I think he just means a first edition. Not a first state.

Correct, Kingfan24. Any help is appreciated.

Hello - what's the market value looking like on a s/l skeleton crew? No foldout poster.

I would hold off on one Nick if it didn't have the poster man.. but that is just the OCD in me. haha

I agree with Kris....the poster was issued with the S/L. Wait until you can locate one with.

Just the other day, I purchased off Ebay an unsigned SC limited with slipcase and poster for $200. I know, sounds crazy right? I love oddity stuff like this.

I saw that auction, Ralph. I wondered who would end up buying it.

Was the art portfolio also issued with the poster? Mine has one.

I don't think so. IIRC, the price of the portfolio was $50 and there was no poster.

Are all the Skeleton Crew portfolios signed by Potter?

Thanks, Bob. Mine came with one, but I never knew if it was standard issue.

Are all the Skeleton Crew portfolios signed by Potter?

Mine is, I thought they all were, but not certain.

EDIT: Yes.

Interesting to see the "not" in "It will not be reprinted" is crossed out on yours too. Wonder what's up with that?

Some already answered as well, but no, the poster wasn't issued with the portfolio book. Potter did sign all of the portfolios.

If memory serves me well, Jeff marked through each one because he didn't want to be held back from not being able to publishing the work in other "The Art of JK Potter" type books.

Thanks Kris!

Any idea what this is worth? Apparently it's an audio cassette and a promo poster that unfolds and has the order form inside. Both look to be in NF+ condition.

[Fsmdr]

What is the current fair value for Lettered Gunslinger?. Thanks

[AKC]

Pending condition, $6,500 - $8,000

The item was an unsolicited donation for the Fundraiser.
Without more information, I'll consider putting it up on ebay with a $.99 start and no reserve.

There is a noticeably "slump" in the market right now. My theory is that the stronger US dollar has made it much more expensive (relatively) for Canadians (1/3 drop in exchange rate), and those on the Euro.
Even the British pound commands a bit less.
For now the heyday of of cheaper King books available for international buyers has stalled.
Only the true rare items command the highest of prices (Carrie Proof).
No one is willing to fly in from overseas to buy a rare 'Salem's Lot, or Lettered Firestarter. Perhaps a folded DJ from the US Doubleday 'Salem's Lot...
