Insomnia #459
ANY S/L #459
I'm keeping mine a bit lower this year, continuing with last years themes.
1. Continue my CD GE set with remarques
2. Get Grant Edition/artist editions of the DT series
3. Continue collecting 1st ed.
4. Acquire one or more proofs
5. Get a signed 1st edition hardcover book
6. 1st edition The Shining from Folio (signed, or remarqued would be a big cherry on top)
7. Upgrade my 'Salem's Lot copy if I can find a 1st ed. without a dust jacket for cheap
8. Other random GE that tickle my fancy (thinking mainly Grant edition of The Talisman and the PS copy of Night Shift)
9. SK signed Anthology (maybe Book of the Dead)
10. Original art from SK artists
11. AE copy of CD's 'Salem's Lot
I'm actually in the process of acquiring one of my holy grails (thanks to a member here), I wouldn't even have added it to my year goals as it seemed close to unobtainable to me. So I am pretty excited about that.
Are you going for the dinged or non-dinged variant?Originally Posted by Theli
It seems I'm miles above the surface of the Earth
I can see across the whole of London and beyond
Well here we go
1.) Firestarter S/L
2.) IT S/L
3.) EOTD S/L
4.) Christine S/L
5.) Cujo S/L
6.) Talisman S/L
7.( Regulators S/L
8.) UK 1sts still needed (Carrie, Salems, NS)
Basically hope to acquire one of the top 2, at least 2-3 of the next tier and keep a look out for the rare UK titles. And probably expand the proof collection a little here and there. And keep an eye out for cool inscriptions. Ought to be fun!

- Meet fellow DT.org members at Michael Whelan art premier (a bit done other than actually showing up).
- Corner the market on undamaged Charlie The Choo Choo UK limited editions, and San Diego Convention editions.
- Attend Stephen King, Owen King event(s) and obtain a signed copy of Sleeping Beauties.
Not sure I cornered the market on the CTCC editions. That was a pretty aggressive goal.
so how many Comicon editions have you stockpiled?

"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
1. Lettered Regulators (I say dream big!)
2. Gunslinger S/L PC (why not dream bigger?)

I over exceeded my 2016 goals by A LOT so 2017 should be fairly smooth sailing.
Any upcoming S/L's (hopefully a Sleeping Beauties happens!)
Hopefully a Strange Weather S/L also happens
Possibly a Thinner first from Gerald.
Continuously check in with Gerald, David, and Kim in case they have something I decide I need
Continuously buy from CD
EDIT: also would like a Gwendy's S/L
