Holy shit - looks like you're having a great year so far!



I think the Carrie UK first has one of the best jackets of all his works - good luck on that one

Im gonna need it hahaha. Damn unicorn buried under Atlantis that it is

[becca69]

Moving these from last year. I'm sure some will keep moving - haha!

1. Lettered Regulators
2. Gunslinger S/L PC
3. Any US or UK 1st Richard Bachman PBs
4. Any new signed and/or limited King titles

Well, can I retroactively add #5 - win the TDT Grand Prize!

I don't think any other book this year is going to beat yours! Or any other book for many years, if ever...

Not only is it an inscribed lettered, which I've never ever seen before, it's an inscribed lettered with a long inscription that's perfectly related to the book, and of which no other versions are signed, let alone inscribed.

And the book itself is a masterpiece, far beyond the production values of most other lettered editions out there. CD 25th anniversary IT lettered doesn't hold a candle to it. PS lettereds - pshaw!

No offense intended, those are beautiful books, but:

I would venture to say that it may be the ultimate King collectible... probably on par with lettered Regulators, deluxe Salem's Lot, asbestos Firestarter, and maybe even 1/1 Salem's Lot... I don't think you could have chosen a finer book or a better inscription.

In fact I almost can't believe that you didn't conspire with RF

How many kidneys do you have (left)?

Do you have a firstborn...? Or did you...?

Time for an update:

* The running man UK 1st
* The Plant #3 unsigned
* The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon Proof with Letter by King.
* The Gunslinger 1st Grant
* The Outsider US Proof
* The Outsider UK Proof
* The Outsider S/L if produced
* The four S/L I'm missing from Robert McCammon (Baal Deluxe, Swan Song Dark Harvest, The Five and Speaks The Nightbird)

* At least 1 of the 21 1st fiction appearances' magazines/newspapers I'm missing: this one will be really tough, since the ones I'm missing are the most expensive ones with the exception of two I've been completely unable to find: Overlook Connection #15 - Winter 1991 and Know your world extra (The weekly reader corporation) Vol 39, n 2, 23_sept_2005 (I do have the other magazine that included this).

* At least 5 of the 9 1st fiction appearances' books I'm missing. - I got none

* At least 2 of the 23 promo items I'm after. -> Now I'm after 24 items

* At least 2 more 1st edition books signed by King of the 47 I'm missing. - I got none

* At least 2 S/L KING books of the 12 I'm missing. - I got 1

* At least 1 S/L non-King book that has his signature out of the 31 I'm missing. - I got none

* At least 1 of the three annuary books I'm missing. - I got none

* At least 1 of the two Kingdom Hospital Scripts written by King I'm missing. - I got none

* At least 15 of the 131 magazines I'm missing that include an original non-fiction piece. - I got 6 so far.

* At least 5 of the 35 books I'm missing that include an original non-fiction piece. - I got 4

* At least 2 of the 172 newspapers I'm missing that include an original non-fiction piece. - I got 6.

* The only Spanish edition I'm missing. -> I discovered I was missing another one but I got it, so I'm still after 1.

I built two previous grail lists and completed both, so I built a new one. I'm pretty positive it'll take me a lot of time to get these but these are not current objectives:

* The Regulators - Lettered edition
* Stories of Suspense
* One copy of The Maine campus with a S. King piece on it.

To sumarize: this hasn't been a good year.

For the rest of the year? If I got a PS Carrie letter and a Dystopia Letter i would be thrilled!

[Phalucha]

Highlights of my collecting this year were completing my SL set of The Plant with a lettered copy of Part 3 and getting a beautiful copy of one of the King issues of Ubris. Also i picked up unexpectedly a mint SL Gunslinger for only $2600 proving that deals can still be had. Rounded things out with signed first editions of The Tommyknockers (dated in year of pub) and Nightmares and Dreamscapes. Finally, i was lucky enough to get a manuscript copy of Elevation in April (was told one of 25 but no idea if true). Finally (last one), got a proof copy of IT and ordered lots of Pennywise statues - is awesome to see some quality King collectibles coming out from innovative companies like Tweeterhead.

[vincent]

Very impressive, congrats. Elevation MS, oh lordy!

@Tippy: What DT title and # are you looking for?

[Father Cody]

A little late to this party but still plenty of time left in the year to do some damage to my checking account.

1. NF/NF 1st/1st of Carrie and The Shining
2. VG/VG 2nd state Salem’s Lot
3. Three S/L’s

Fuck me. I hit NONE of these goals! None!
