What do you guys make of this listing?
Large Lot Stephen King Signed DARK TOWER III + SIGNED Artist Prints 1st Ed -RARE
Is it worth the money? There's a lot of signed prints and a couple of King signed items.
It's interesting that all the material are Grant related. Could it be a printer that worked with DMG?

Some of the pieces are similar to what we received in the PalaverCon bags(the signed DT2 and DT6 prints, DT3 portfolio pieces and the card stock ads/promotional pieces)
Other things are a bit more unusual; a WasteLands S/L with no cover, slipcase or mention of the number or PC status, a numbered sig page from DT7 (they aren't numbered until after they are all bound into the book), etc.
It's a strange mix, but much of it is so similar to the PalaverCon bags, but in greater quantity, that I would guess this possibly originated from a former Grant employee.

Very interesting. That's quite a haul.Originally Posted by Papaseraphim

Someone will buy it, but IMO it isn't worth $2K.
The #1444 page is a bit disconcerting, but stranger things have happened.
The seller refers to the images as "lithographs." I think he is wrong. Those look like nice enough prints but probably done on a color printer in mass quantities. Lithography is a whole different process and of a higher quality. I don't think the seller knows much about art.
You're absolutely correct on both accounts, Bob!!

He's technically correct.
Lithography is really the process, not the end product. The majority of commercial offset printing has been using the lithographic printing process since the 1950s.
Any newspaper you buy is technically a lithograph, the marketing people just don't like to point that out when they sell fancy posters for a lot of money. (They do at least make them higher quality and use nicer paper.)

Has anyone posted this one yet?
Stephen King CARRIE signed early signature 1st/1st very fine JSA Certified
It was first posted on SKMB and Marsha figures the signature is good, COA notwithstanding! For anyone named Paul...
Author of The Road to the Dark Tower, Stephen King: A Complete Exploration of His Work, Life, and Influences and The Dark Tower Companion. Co-editor with Stephen King of the anthology Flight or Fright.
I saw it. Glanced at it briefly and moved on. The signature is good. My question would be if, in the process of certification, some sort of marking, bar code or whatever is permanently affixed to the book. If so, IMO, the value of the book would go down rather than up.
In the tenth photo, there appears to be some printing on the inside of the dust jacket. My copy does not have that.

That looks to be on the dust jacket protector (if we are in fact seeing the same thing).
Get it away from the pool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought that might be it, but I wasn't sure.That looks to be on the dust jacket protector (if we are in fact seeing the same thing).

LOL! Was thinking the same ting ICry - "Get it away from the pool!"
I just spoke to the Ireland collector and he has now sold all of his Doubleday proofs. Did someone here buy them?There is a collector in Ireland who has all five of the early Doubleday proofs (including Carrie) supposedly inscribed by King to Bill Thompson. There are other copies of the proofs around in collections but that is the only "complete" set that I know of. Chris Cavalier had some in his "Super Collection" sold through Betts several years ago. He was missing Carrie and The Stand. I am missing Carrie.
That is somewhat surprising! Does he still have his NEL proofs? I would have thought he'd never sell.
Looks legit, but man is this book beat to shit.
The Stand, 1979
