10 copies available (the print, not the woman) $160 BIN:
Stephen King signs Rock Bottom Remainders print - edition of 270 copies
I think I have the only one of these signed on the left-hand-side, rather than the right.
No. I don't think $350 is reasonable at all. I paid $165 but that was in 1998. I think that the set is incomplete without the original drawing. Barry Levin (from whom I purchased my copy #10) thought that the first 20 numbers in the series were housed in the red folders with an additional original Hale drawing. I don't think the seller knows what he is talking about.I don't see many of these for sale, and fewer still with a Hale original piece (absent on this one).
Is $350 reasonable?

That should settle it. Wish there was a thread just for King stuff though. I'm sort of the opposite of Rosannebarr. Although I too check this thread frequently I don't like getting bogged down with non-King items. Can any Peter Straub auctions be posted here?...he wrote a couple of books with King....and, from what I read, they are friends. Would this be a good spot to alert people to really intriguing Stuart O'Nan auctions?
Get yours from Brennan?I think I have the only one of these signed on the left-hand-side, rather than the right.
I'd go a step further and say that in the main Calvin's Corner section, the Intriguing Auctions/Sales and Pride and Joy threads should be King items only. The Other Authors You Collect section should have threads for other Auctions/Sales and P&J's. Just my opinion...Maybe.....maybe not. I would counter by saying they are not Stephen King, not Dark Tower and not really very intriguing (although that last one is just my opinion). I think the proper thread is under the "Other authors you collect" heading. But, again, this is just my opinion.

I agree with you both. This is a King site and there are ample sites elsewhere for other authors. I am a fan, however, of the Other Authors You Collect section and would like to see other author topics sequestered over there.I'd go a giant leap forward, and send other authors threads to their own sites elsewhwere.I'd go a step further and say that in the main Calvin's Corner section, the Intriguing Auctions/Sales and Pride and Joy threads should be King items only.

You were offered a position. If you would like to be reconsider, just PM me.....
As always, refer to the Catalog-"Update 4/29/10 Per Glimmer Graphics- Phil Hale submitted only ~ 7 of the 10 original art pieces requested. The original piece is not numbered, only added to a few Red folder editions"No. I don't think $350 is reasonable at all. I paid $165 but that was in 1998. I think that the set is incomplete without the original drawing. Barry Levin (from whom I purchased my copy #10) thought that the first 20 numbers in the series were housed in the red folders with an additional original Hale drawing.

Jean, Feev and Brice do a lot as well. Maybe not as much as RF, but I have seen their handiwork first hand on occasion.

Interesting! So I'm the one who doesn't know what he is talking about. (My wife says that all the time) But I still think $350 is way too much.As always, refer to the Catalog-"Update 4/29/10 Per Glimmer Graphics- Phil Hale submitted only ~ 7 of the 10 original art pieces requested.

Some people have different powers than others. I think the Edit Thread Title power is solely Jerome's.
And me ... my power is to be awesome.

I kinda agree with Bob on this one. We should have a "Intriguing Other Authors Auctions and sales" and all the other authors could be included there.
Wanted list:
Ubris
I think we should have a "For Sale - Stephen King Only" thread and a "For Sale - Everything Else" thread. That should do the trick, right?
Umm Nothing works!!

Not links, just ideas. Sorry, will edit.
My thoughts exactly, Bob.I agree with you both. This is a King site and there are ample sites elsewhere for other authors.

Has anyone here read this book or others in the Starmont series? Recommended?
Casebook on Stephen King's "The Stand" No. 38 (Paperback) Anthony Magistrale
Owen King's new book:
Owen (Son of Stephen) King: DOUBLE FEATURE (ARC/Proof, Debut Novel, 2013)
This seller has copper, gold, black coins:
The Dark Tower Stephen King Marvel Comic BLACK 13 Challenge COIN
Very clean Firestarter's are difficult to find. This one is pricey at $165:
Stephen King. FIRESTARTER. 1st HC/DJ. F/F. A Nice Copy; Scarce Early King.
Definitely recommended.
I'm also quite fond of The Shining Reader and had hoped more volumes like these two would be punished. Unfortunately - not.
The complete series consists of some eleven books, not counting the Douglas Winter Reader's Guide.

That seller, dna-books, has been around for a long time and I have never bought anything from him/her. Prices always seem too high and this is no exception. For $165 I would expect the book and dj to be absolutely pristine, perhaps looking like the book was bought new, sealed away and never read. I can see several problems with this book if you look closely and use the magnifying features. There are a few spots of soiling to the dj, especially near the top of the spine. There is slight creasing along the top edge of the front panel of the dj and I think I can even see a small closed tear or two. I think there is some wear to the top corners of the spine of the book itself. That is just for starters. I don't think this is more than a $40 book, IMO.
I think this is/was intriguing and would like opinions on the sale price, was this thing really worth what it sold for?
