Never seen one in person. Congrats!!!!
Never seen one in person. Congrats!!!!
Typically, I haven't been one to announce my new items or accomplishments simply because I just
don't have as much time to spend on here as I'd like but...
I was entering a stack of new items I've picked up in the last few weeks and I looked at my database total.
4005---I have surpassed 4000 Stephen King items! It's taken almost 30 years and of course many $$$$$,
but as a completest it's been a joy. Of course, tomorrow is another day and there is always something new!
"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
Astounding... And to echo Simon, I'm sure we'd love to see details...
I knew you're one of the major players in this field, Kerry. But >4,000? That's pretty impressive! I would guess that your magazine collection comprises at least half of that number, right? I don't think anyone has that area covered as thoroughly as you.
Wow.

What a milestone, congrats! Now we want to see some collection impressions![]()
Yes, you are right. Magazines, newspapers, comics are about half. King books, limiteds, signed copies and early rares are another 800+, anthologies and books with king fiction and non-fiction
another 700+, Movie ephemera, scripts, DVD's and promo items make up the remainder.
Don't forget the 500 copies of Faithful I'm holding for Bill!![]()

The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
That really is impressive, Kerry. I have over 5100 items (books, magazines, newspapers, etc.) in my database but only 2887 are King. The others are other authors I collect.
Thank you all for your kind remarks. As we all know it's a labor of love. I called my
wife's flower gardens "her hobby" like my book collecting, she corrected me and said
"there is a difference, your book collecting is an addiction"![]()
This just arrived. Another seemingly hard-to-find signed book, but I got a good deal on it from same seller from who I received Cell. Another of my (many) favorite King books that go beyond the "horror" subject matter many may think is all he writes.

Thanks mkberger for posting this one earlier. It encouraged me to get a copy, and it's a really nice book. Very happy with it. More pictures in my collection thread.
