This is a cool book. I actullay have it in hand and the quality is outstanding. There are only 50 numbered and a "handful" (insert Bob asking 'How many is a handful?' question) of PC's done.
Down the road someone is going to be VERY happy they bought this. Take a look at the Complete List Of Stephen King Signed Editions :http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showwiki.php?title=Complete+list+of+Stephen+King+S igned+Limiteds

Well, I'll tell you, if it does get over $500, I'll throw in a Signed Slipcased Edition of Lawrence Block's "Random Walk", published by PS Publishing (http://www.pspublishing.co.uk/random-walk-signed-sc-by-lawrence-block-440-p.asp). Block is a seven-time contributor to Hard Case Crimes and also signed this edition of Fifty-to-One.

It didn't get to $600, but $535 is still a pretty good start, right? Assuming that the winner is someone one here, hit me with a PM and I'll send you your copy of Random Walk.

Thoughts on current market value for a FIFTY-TO-ONE (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showwiki.php?title=Fifty-to-One+-+Deluxe#post655667) PC?
There were only 50 numbered editions and a "handful" of PC's.

$500.

With no King material in it (other than his signature)...I bet it is pretty low on most collector's wish lists.

Looks like I called this about right.

I was the third highest bidder on this (max bid $495). Glad I got outbid as I already have one of these.

The buyer got a good price...I paid around $650 for mine I think.
