My Collection: https://www.thedarktower.org/palaver...ion-Merlin1958
The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
I just started a list of my own.
Not that I'm afraid I'm going to die tomorrow, but for the benefit of my family. Not that my collection is that great--especially compared to the members of this site!
WANTED:
Dust jacket for The Shining SNL.
Dust jacket for 25th Anniversary edition of IT, signed, numbered, tray-cased copy.
Signed numbered limited edition of Josh Malerman's Goblin, published by Earthling Publications.
In retrospect, while not nearly as impressive as some others here (and no where near as knowledgeable) I am very pleased that in addition to my complete US/UK 1/1 collection I have been fortunate enough to add a very respectable amount of both S/L's and Flat signed books. You gotta cozy up to the battles you have won, rather than focus on the overall "war". LOL IMHO
Everyone is ultimately a "winner" here and our "legacies" shall move on!!!!!

I keep my list hidden from the wife or my demise might come earlier than expected.

I actually got an insurance discount through homeowners by giving them a database copy of everything in Room 217. I give an update to my rep every 3-6 months depending on activity. Of course, with everything released this year, I think I had to update it daily...haha

I wish my collection was so big that I had to do what you guys are doing... It is large but I know what it there. Couldn't imagine having so many I would have to see if I have the book! haha I do agree that you should also let someone close to you (wife, sibling, children) know what you have in books cause should something happen to you and no one knows... they could just give it away or worse junk them... guarantee that has happened once or twice over time... kris

I guarantee our spouses and other halves would know what to do with our collections even without specific instructions. As for the sizes of collections, you'll get there. Take it easy, and focus on one or two goals: first editions, gift editions, S/Ls, signed trades, anthologies, first appearances etc. Read and research things on your own. Start with the catalogue and all the resources on this board.
I'd start with first editions. Those should be the cornerstone of any decent collection.
i made the mistake of collecting 1st editions. after that was complete, i am now working on flat signed 1st editions. 60% of my flat signed books were signed in person. The other 40% i traded or purchased. now i almost have two compete collections. 1sts and 1sts flat signed. Then i found some cheap proofs, and then good deals on S/L books. and then Randall Flagg keeps telling me to buy stuff on the SK ebay page, so i have quite the room full of stuff!!! I am trying to stay focused on my flat signed collection, then DAvid at Betts keeps posting items tooo!!!!
My back up plan if I die tomorrow is I have instructions for Greta to log on here, let you all know, and I'm hoping she will then get some advice on what to do with my books.
So in other words even after I'm gone I plan to use all your knowledge to help me out :-)
I was thinking to leave "the king collection" to charity... Not sure how that would work...
Wanted:
DT1 Gunslinger S/L #96
Any DT or DT related books #96
Listing corrected. Sorry about that.

What would a 1st/1st dust jackets in VG condition for a Gunslinger from Grant, and a 1st/1st Carrie same condition go for?
I also have a question for all the good folks here... What would be a really good deal for a Buick 8 S/L? My buddy says he has a line on one for next to nothing but I haven't heard the price yet so I want some "ammo" so to speak. Thanks!
