Collectible Classifieds-Primarily for Stephen King Items

[stroppygoblin]

MUCH rarer than the first edition first printing.

This reminds me of something I read in an online book catalog once a few years ago. The catalog was from biblioctopus.com. Dracula was published in 1897 in a first edition of about 3,000 copies. Later that same year there were subsequent printings in numbers not known. They were not designated later printings as such but can be identified by the presence of publisher's catalogs inserted at the back of the book and being printed on a thinner paper than the first printing.

In the catalog I read "Jen the Zen" described owning one of the later printings as "worse than having gum in your hair."

I laughed at that and suspect that later printings of recent King books are about as difficult to rid oneself of. Signed or not.

If you have some time to kill you might check out biblioctopus online catalog. The items for sale are rare and pricey but the reading is free and I guarantee you won't be bored with her descriptions.

Firstly, thank you Bob for highlighting this site, it's a new one to me. I just spent 5 minutes looking through the latest catalogue and even the intro is a fun read. Any Seller that espouses the following for defining books is a definite winner for me!

"We never spin “fine” into a term that can safely be used for
an item with faults, so we don’t use hypnotizing enhancements like fine plus, fine
indeed, very fine, unusually fine, extremely fine, exceptionally fine, exceedingly
fine, phenomenally fine, astonishingly fine, implausibly fine, unbelievably fine,
or unimaginably fine."

Do you really think this makes it desirable to collectors? The fifteenth printing may be "rarer" still.

No. Just trying to have some fun. Hence the smiley face and panic guy! This book is great to give to friends and family and others that love king but don't collect! I gave away 3 so far and fans love them. I know (from reading comments here) that I was a fool for even buying it , buying this copy and charlie the choo probably makes me an idiot on this collectors site�� I hope my membership does not get revoked

oops. I am not a good salesman, of course it's worth alot! I do have 1 extra copy if you would like this for the cardosweller museum. My cost. If it's staying in museum. Or trade for something equally as valuable.

[needfulthings]

IMHO The signature in these 7th printing are worth more for their cut-up value. Cut the signature out of the book take it & have it matted & framed along with a Finders Keepers Broadsheet or tip them in 1st editions.

Tip them in a 1st edition??? ahh no.

[Theli]

Tipped in signatures are generally the least desirable signatures I can think of (exceptions like the Folio limited of 100 come to mind though).

[needfulthings]

I'm just saying they are worth more than a signed 7th.
YES! Tip them into 1st editions ..If you check (Try Richard Matheson)I think you will find SOME very rare & expensive books listed with tipped in signatures.

[Theli]

Listed and bought are two different things methinks. Though, with that said, if it was a signed and dated book plate of the same year of publication I could see it being more desirable. But to cut out Matheson's sig from a later book and add it to an early 1st wouldn't drive the value of the book much more than a regular 1st in the same condition.

Not at all. It would take away from it!

I am offering a set of Michael Whelan Prints all number 19. Back when the End of the Road Giclee was announced I was one of the first to order one and I ordered one of the lower limitation artist editions, that day or the next I received a call from Audrey Whelan, she told me there was an error and there were more orders for the artist edition than were actually available. She asked if I was willing to take one of the regular 1of/99 edition, If so I could have #19. Of course I was happy to accept, then she offered me the 2 earlier prints #19 as well as #19 would be my number going forward. With this sale I will contact Audrey and transfer ownership of #19 for future prints.






The End of the Road Giclee is 19/99 image size 20 X 28. Unfortunately when I pulled it down I noticed for the first time a crease in the giclee in the bottom middle of the image, not sure when this happened but it does not go through to the back. Because of this I will sell for 395.00, 100.00 less than I paid which is still the price.







The Dark Tower print is #19/500 image size 19 1/2 X 32. The is a minor wrinkle to the top right corner, this happened in shipping as neither print has been out of the shipping tube until today, the wrinkle would not be visible after matting/framing. This one will be 170.00, 25.00 of the price of 195.00





The Crimson King is 19/500 image size is 28 X 18 and is mint. Price 195.00.

So the price for the set would be 760.00 plus shipping
