King Books/Items Wanted

[Aronstg]

What's the going rate on these? I see >$250, but not selling on that listing for even $199.

The sales at Betts show this as probably the least liked anthology. The price reflects this.

Night Visions 5 S/L #184 - Fine/Fine - $125
Night Visions 5 S/L #201 - Fine Signed by Stephen King + others - $125
Night Visions 5 S/L #322; signed by Stephen King and others - $150
Night Visions 5 S/L #9 Fine/Near Fine DJ/Fine - $155

Thanks for the great info. Strange with Game of Thrones being so popular and having 3 very current and timely authors signing it....

I wonder how long ago those sales were. Im assuming they were quickly snatched up because I believe they were a bit undervalued. I would easily grab a couple of these in F/F condition for $125. I think most people would.

I sold a Night Vision 5 S/L roughly 45 days ago for $230. Not sure when the above sells took place.

The person who purchased my extra copy didn't buy it for Kings signature, but George R. Martins.

IMO I think the Night Visions series is up there as one of the best horror anthologies that's been released, as far as the content goes (i.e., very high quality stories and names, both established and new talent). I bought all of the S/Ls as they were released. However, in terms of appearance they're just "regular" hard cover books, and so don't really compare against the other gorgeous anthologies (e.g., Best of Best new Horror) in terms of production or aesthetics, and that's probably why there may be less appeal for collectors specifically?

Yes, it's just a regular trade copy with a signature page. Also, the slipcase does not match the book and it is too small. (The book sticks out a bit)

To you, what's the right price? ...out of curiosity.

One that gives me the warm and fuzzies

Oh, the slipcases are garbage. I ended up swapping the slipcases between the editions to make them fit more appropriately. I got Jeff to make some slipcases for the recent Sub Press Night Visions editions that didn't come with slipcases and Jeff's are 10 times better.

I'm not sure why Dark Harvest ended up going with the slipcases they did. In the beginning, it was supposed to be black (see below picture):



I ended up receiving a damaged slipcase when I ordered from Dark Harvest. After contacting them, they sent me the one pictured with a note saying........"sorry about someone going Postal on your slipcase. Please except one of our prelim cases (black cloth) to replace the grey damaged one".

Again, not sure why they went with the grey one, but the black cloth one is actually very nice and fits the book perfect. Maybe it cost them too much.

No way! I had no idea about those black slipcases. That grey one was so tight on NV5 I had to swap it, for fear of it damaging the most valuable volume of the series!

I'm not sure where to post this and I can't start a new thread yet but am hoping for some feedback/thoughts on this....

Tis' pricey but for some reason it's calling my name.....

There is a thread were it is talked about. You will have to search for it. I think the consensus was that it is over priced.

Thank you! I tried looking earlier and couldn't find anything but I'll check again. It is really pricey but damn...it's good looking! lol. I am a big fan of Chadbourne's work and have never read Before the Play. Hmmm....I'll have to ponder this.

The "Before The Play" that is in the TV Guide from 1997 is abridged. If you have never read it try to find a copy of Whispers magazine, Vol. 5, Nos. 1/2, Whole numbers 17/18. Published in 1982. It is significantly longer and a much better read. The Whispers magazine is not that hard to find and will be a whole lot less than the $300 Overlook Connection hodge-podge.

Before making any decision, I suggest you wait until the official announcement of Cemetery Dance's Artist Edition of The Shining, which will be very soon. This book will feature artwork from both Don Maitz and Glenn Chadbourne, and although not confirmed, it could very well include 'Before The Play' as an added bonus! Not only will this edition be a lot nicer, I'm pretty sure it will also cost less than the $300 price of the Overlook edition.

Excellent! Thanks for the tip. I had no idea it had been published elsewhere.

Ah, I should have known they were going to do one. And of course it will be beautiful. Good advice! I thank you.

I picked up that copy of Whispers magazine, really enjoyed the story

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

Before the Play - TV Guide = 6,080 words
Before the Play - Whispers = 17,100 words

Give the abridged TV Guide a miss, and get the full story in Whispers,
