    I bought one of those $99 dinged copies too. Never took the shrinkwrap off though. But it looks fine to me. I could discover no dings at all. I'll have to flip through the pages one of these days.

    That worries me. Happened to me with two previous hobbies. I paid a ridiculous amount more than they’re worth now. Honestly, my first thought reading that is to sell everything.

    Nice going! Yeah, you can sometimes get lucky like that with CD's or SubPress's dinged sales.

    My dinged copy of KD is definitely dinged though. Big ol' dent in the bottom edge of the slipcase, and some of the silk cover is peeling away on one slipcase corner.

    Haha. I should’ve mentioned I was already worried about that. Sorry. You haven’t scared me off collecting! There’s still cheap paperbacks! I think you’re right about what you said, though. It looks like a bubble. That what scares the hell out of me.

    That's $300 1980 dollars though, so maybe it's wasn't *that* good an investment.

    My OCD is kicking in! Does it say numbered in black, and it's actually blue? OH NO (kidding, but it is funny to me it looks that way)!! Also the Axe on the Traycase is really a beautiful touch.

    To answer your question ...

    Spoiler:
    ... yes, both the number and the signature are in blue ink. Made me do a double take as well.

    Thanks, Brian, that's a great point. All the pics I post here are in my collection gallery. So you can always check them out there.

    Most of my pics are fairly low resolution - 640xNNN or 960xNNN - but the Misery S/L ones are a bit bigger, and better quality than you see in this post.

    Yes, Paul made a slight mistake and grabbed a blue pen to start the numbers. He switched to black after about 50 numbers... then red from 186-200.

    So ... the red numbered editions are most rare, the blue numbered are less rare, and the black are least rare?

    If I remember from the website, it said 185 signed in Black ink. 15 signed in Red ink (for private distribution). There are your 200 copies.

    I’m curious if it’ll affect value the way it does for CP’s Salem’s Lot. Seems there are mixed opinions on this.
