That book signed in July 1982 would have come from NECON, a conference I've been attending for the past 15 years or so. Charlie Grant was a regular attendee. King was the "victim" of the roast that year.

Amazing item David! You said you found a replica tin, but where did the other replica items come from? Were they copied form the original props?
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
That is so cool!!!

Woh - that tin from the movie and the note from Andy to Red, what an amazing collectible! How on earth did you score that? You are definately the wizard of the collecting world. Do you have that poster of Rita Hayworth?

The tin I found on eBay after MUCH searching and various search words to find it...There are tins that are NOT the right shape, some also show the Queen Mary in harbor, not at sea...tricky to find the right one.
The other props I found from a guy in the UK (letter from Andy, postcard, SS card, drivers license etc.) and yes, this guy reproduced as closely to movie images/book images as possible.
No I don't have a Rita Hayworth poster...when I was a kid, my older brother had the Raquel poster though!
Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
Brings to mind this movie edition:

Well yeah, because it's a Japanese edition.
I considered buying it, but passed on it.

Fuck, I kept checking when the auction was finishing today, and was thinking about increasing the bid once i got access to my computer in the hotel as I was using a snipe... and I lost.
Which is stupid because there was apparently no new bid since yesterday (my snipe was too low, damn international shipping)
Maybe I would have won if i didn't forget as a morron, but I keep telling myself that it wasn't meant for me or that i saved money!
