I think he was talking about it in "Who's Affraid of Stephen King"

Hey guys... not sure how many of you ordered the Artist of Carrie from CD.. but did any of you get it remarqued? I did not... and was not going to. BUT then I thought it being an Artist edition there may be a TON of value added to it. Especially if the whole set was done. Thoughts?

You've already paid $250 for a basic, unsigned book and now you want to pay more for it?

It is signed. By the artists.. and I think your missing the point. Thanks for the response though. lol

Thanks for your opinion. I paid 250 for a book signed by artists. I know it will be of the same quality as a 4500 dollar book signed by King. I'm pretty happy with my 250 purchase.

No offence meant toward the PS publishing book. Just my opinion.

I wouldn't say a ton of value. The value would likely only increase by the cost of the remarque. Now, if it was also signed by King that would obviously change things, but it's not.

My thoughts too.... I am still on the fence... thanks!!!

In case anyone missed it because I didn't post it in Calvin's Corner: Joyland Illustrated Edition.

**herbertwest** · 01-13-2015 09:39 AM

And i'll send another email to the publisher (my contact has left but...)

You asked a question, you got an answer. It's pretty clear I meant not signed by King and it's pretty clear what I was trying to say if you read between the lines: no, it wouldn't add much value.

I'm actually considering adding one to 'Salem's Lot but not to add value but because I think Palumbo's art is amazing.

I'm probably going to shoot to get my set remarqued. I'll have to get Carrie remarqued by Glenn though because it wouldn't work to ship my copy to Croatia.. and we don't know who the last artist is going to be.

I'm guessing it will add some value. I do believe that remarqued copies of the Gift Editions of IT, Dr Sleep, FDNS etc.... all add value to the book. Just my opinion. I don't really plan on selling these anyways but if for any reason I did, I think I would come out ahead.

Did any of the TV Guides have any original first print fiction from King? What exactly is the collectibility of the King issues?

**zelig** · 01-14-2015 06:38 PM

There was some discussion the other day, I think in the intriguing sales thread about how the price of Cavalier mags has been going up. Does anyone have a list of all the issues where there was a short story appearance? I know I can look in the catalog or Justin's bibliography but if someone already has a list that would be great. Thanks!

**biomieg** · 01-15-2015 12:30 AM

There is a thread somewhere with a list of men's magazines containing King fiction.

*edit: here it is: http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/...gazine-fiction

**zelig** · 01-15-2015 10:15 AM

Thanks Michaël! An opportunity came up and I caved and bought 6 issues in New/Fine+ condition. Now that I see how many there are, I have a ways to go....

For me they have the same collectibility since they present a different edition of a (Dark Tower) book, with their own ISBN code. Also because they have sometimes different artwork than the original release. The best thing is to find editions that have never been used in libraries.
These are the Turtleback books from my DT collection, only DT7 is used.

Very interesting, thanks for posting those pictures!

**SystemCrashOverRide** · 01-17-2015 10:30 AM

Those are actually quite sharp.

**jhanic** · 01-17-2015 10:30 AM

Great!

**bdwyer19** · 01-17-2015 11:41 AM

What would cause the bottom of the page block to end up like this? The seller said it was like that when he purchased it from a used book store.

**jonp** · 01-17-2015 11:54 AM

Foxing due to cheap paper and acidic contaminants. Age related spots due to ferrous oxide. ?high humidity.
