VFB is selling an Insomnia S/L for $1000. Its worth $400 tops. So does this mean that this massive million dollar collection is only worth $400,000??
With Alec’s permission I have reposted the comment above from his collection thread.
Just to add to Alec’s post above. As most of you are aware, I have been a part of Alec’s SK collection from the very early days and I have had numerous opportunities to view the entire collection including many items that have, for one reason or another, never been posted on the site. In my (humble) opinion, the stated value is, if anything, on the low side.
It may seem strange to some that Alec is even considering selling his books, but knowing him well, it’s no surprise that he is intrigued by how such an illustrious collection *might* sell to the right buyer. Remember, this is the sale of ‘A COLLECTION’ not a sale of individual books IN A collection and thats a very different (and interesting) concept.
As Alec has stated, if it doesn’t sell as a whole, then it stays where it is and I for one will be more than happy for that to be the case. It’s been a privilege to see books that I would, under normal circumstances never have got to see, let alone hold.
"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

It would be nice to see the color of the boards to confirm a true first, but this has some very cool items, including unfolded 2nd DJ:
Stephen King The Dark Tower The Gunslinger Donald Grant First Print sealed
I could be wrong, but this looks to me like a 1/1 copy bought direct from Grants around the time DTIV was released. They had a few copies available in shrinkwrap, and included a tube with a replacement dustjacket (because many had crushed djs due to the shrinkwrap). The flyer shown in the photo includes a picture of DTIV, which supports my theory.
I managed to get one of these copies at the time as well, although I got a 1st edition dj in the tube.
