I usually ask if they could consider international shipping , in 3 years only one seller said no

'SALEM'S LOT with a third state DJ is not as common as you would think - especially not in this condition, and signed!

That is a nice one. If considering buying it ask the seller specifically if there has been any color touch-up to the black background. I can see almost no white showing in the areas of wear which is very unusual for this dust jacket. I've seen a number of these where someone will use a black magic marker to cover the white in the worn areas.

Good thinking, Bob. I am not bidding but there are a few interested parties I think.

Another auction that caught my eye: BAG OF BONES promo (record player + DVDs)

Are these still sought after? The starting bid is pretty low I think.

This auction ended last week (I hadn't seen it): GUNSLINGER Viking proof

The buyer got a GREAT deal I think...

How do people think of stuff like that? I was interested, but i am sticking to my rule. NO EBAY.

I would bet money that the top of that dj has been touched up with sharpie or other means. any takers?

I agree. Definitely legit.

Ned Dameron original art, "Cowboy Zombies". I could probably convince myself that this is Dark Tower related. I like it, but I don't know if I $75 like it.

Yeah, kinda neat but related to some D&D scenario. Might have been more appealing in color, but...... Oh. I don't know!!! LOL

I like the sketch very much. I do not like how it looks like it was taped to the poster board though. Is that a typical way to "mount" a drawing?

[Robert Fulman]

If I had to guess, I would say that that someone at TSR mounted the drawing on a larger board so that all the images could be stored together and wrote "A16 Zombie Cowboys" on the tape for identification purposes. At some point, the art was returned to Ned. I bet you could remove the tape pretty easily. If not, you could either mat it and never look at the tape again or trim the board between the border and tape. Alternatively, you could just forget about it, because it's starting to grow on me.

For: Philip Best -
Good letter, good clippings. Hence no
charge for this shaggy werewolf story. I hope you
like it. You ought to try the Enquirer some
time - children who cry rocks, the woman who
stuck her just washed poodle in the microwave oven
to dry it fast (it exploded) and similar
goodies, and an item each week on Liz.

Best,

Stephen King

Thanks. Amazing job, I could decipher word one... I'll just repost it here for posterity:

[carlosdetweiller]

I thought it read "and an item each week on Liz." (Elizabeth Taylor)

[Randall Flagg]

I believe you are correct. It does appear to be 3 letters and the last letters looks like a lower case cursive "z".
I will edit my post. Thanks.

My, but aren't we "whimsical" today, RF!!! LOL

1. Playfully quaint or fanciful, esp. in an appealing and amusing way.

Picked this one up for a reasonable price (well, exclude international shipping from the equation) so now have a companion piece for the Dark Score Stories promo item picked up last month ... thanks for posting this one Biomeg, I'd have not likely been aware of the auction otherwise
