Your New Pride and Joy!

[Rahfa]

That happened to me years ago...

I got the s/l DT I, and then the DT III and IV showed up after that as a matched set - then of course I had V-VII locked in.

So it CAN be done...although, I'm still looking for DT II! I have an author's copy as a placeholder.

[tippy4]

Did you find a matching DT2?

Alas I have not.

But you know what...that is ok...the hunt continues.

In the years I have been collecting, I have found 5 King S/Ls that match my set......bought three....passed on two.

There are always Gunslinger S/L Letterd and Numbered for sale, but S/L DT2 is the hardest to find.

Not King-related, but one of my collecting Holy Grails. This is "Silencing the Guns" by James Dietz, and depicts the 506 PIR "Easy Company" of Band of Brothers fame and their assault on German artillery at Brecourt Manor, Normandy. In the BOB mini-series, this takes place in Episode 2. The print is signed by four Easy Company vets .... including Dick Winters. This is my very first Dick Winters signature, and has taken me years to get. It popped up on eBay late last night at $1400 below the previous one offered and it was also "Make an Offer", so I figured nothing to lose .... and I got it for what I think was a complete steal (almost $2000 below the previous one). Needless to say, I am one happy camper!

Good job. Glad your patience paid off.

Congrats George!

The latest book of Umberto Eco.

NOT from my Secret Santa but someone decided to surprise me, though. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

[wizardsrainbow]

Happened to me too....My first set, #296 I started with DTIV like Tippy and bought DT V-... from Grant. Sometime I think before book 5 came out, I saw my #296 on ABE.com from the same seller in upstate New York but separate listings. I bought all 3 (back then, I think I got Gunslinger S/L for $2000). Then on eBay much later on I found #296 of Gunslinger Tapes and #296 of UK Wizard & Glass S/L plus I bought the (then) 4 Whelan Dark Tower prints all #296. I love my #296 set as it was put together "the hard way."

I would like to thank you for posting this. My Great Uncle was Ltc. Charles Chase, the XO of the 506th PIR, second in command under Col Sink. It wasn't until after he passed in 1980 that I began to get an idea of just what his vast military career consisted of. Seeing the BOB, and paintings like this help bring his, and all veterans dedication and commitment to life again.

Thank you,

There were actually 2 "Good Samaritans" who collaborated for this surprise: Bill and Shac. That's the 2nd time they do it for me. THANK YOU, guys!

Good job. Glad your patience paid off.

Congrats George!

Congrats, George I know how much you appreciate this stuff!!!

Thank you everybody! It truly is something special for me ... a totally different meaning than a King sig.

Gorgeous, George! I so wish I could find that Winters signed Band of Brothers for you. I haven't given up!!!

Thank you Des, I really do appreciate you looking. I couldn't believe my luck in getting this one!

Corporal Walker - I'm retired USAF myself and was fortunate enough to have met some of the 506th and other vets on several trips to Bastogne while I was in Europe. I got a real taste and appreciation for what they did; folks today have no idea. Of course the popularity of Band of Brothers shone the spotlight on the 506th, but they were just a cog in the gear. This will be my 13th such print (produced by Valor Studios), and what makes them special to me are those signatures. I hope you've got some artifacts from your great-uncle's career to remember him by!

I was fortunate enough to have found this moments after it was listed. After shipping it was a total of $13.99. I think I did fairly well.



I purchased this from Gauntlet Press' Elite special he runs in his newsletter. It was half list price, so I bought it. Matheson is among my top authors and I collect nearly everything he has. I really love this book, also.

Thanks for the comments! It was poorly advertised, so I was at the right place at the right time.

Nice piece, Ari! I thought I had never seen it before but I did find a copy in my collection. I bought it from Rocky Wood in 2011. I'm pretty sure I have never seen another. I don't know much about it. Do you think it was a one-shot magazine?
