    Oh.
    My.
    Gosh.

    Me want. Bad.

    ( Oh, and I've never seen a King signed LRH graphic novel... ever )

    I'd like to bid $101 just to give Patrick a little challenge.

    This would make a great Birthday present for a guy I know who will never get around to reading this thread... so I don't mind posting that in here. I may just have to bid when it's up for auction.
    A true firewasp ninja would never wear such a ridiculous sweater.

    There's logic in nonsense.

    I'm surprised it's so soon. Luckily I have other people's souls that might be worth a bit more.

    After much research today, this auction is just going to be posted in DTbay tomorrow morning. The classifieds thing is giving me a headache.

    I will make sure it is well announced and linked on the site tomorrow morning.

    Wow !! No fooling ... I thought I was going to have a shot at this one, but right now - I don't think so. Will have to check on my finances some.

    Thanks guys! I have to say I was debating with myself for days whether or not to bid, what with the Christmas spending credit card bill on its way, but in the end, with the proceeds going to the fundraiser, plus, as was said earlier in the thread, there aren't that many SK signed DT comics out there (though it'll never surpass Ari's!), I took the plunge in the last ten minutes of the auction. And I'm really delighted to have won it!

    Now if you'll excuse me - I have to go put the apartment up for sale to pay for it.....

    Congratulations Clacke!

    I am very jealous, but also - thrilled for both you and Haven.

    It's a great item!

    Well, at least you'll have really nice books if you become homeless.

    Congrats on the new acquisition.

    You can carry the books around in a backpack. Just make sure to get one of those used for major hiking, like Appalachian Trail hiking, and not a booksack like kids use for school books.
