Doesn't this say the same thing? " Mandatory. My collection would not be considered complete until I own this item."

I guess so.

CALLING ALL COLLECTORS! CALLING ALL COLLECTORS!

The time has come to find the most collectible and unique Stephen King items, and we need YOUR help! There will be different questions and different types of collectibles. Most of it will be a surprise until the time comes. All I ask is that you only answer the questions for the items that you are familiar with. For example, I think The Stand Signed Limited Edition looks beautiful, but I've never held it in my hands, never felt it's weight, never taken a close look at it's binding, etc. Therefore, I wouldn't be able to rate it's craftsmanship. Understand?

The first round we will be doing is United States First Editions. You can use the following link to take a look at the following links to help you if you don't want to get up and take a look in the book itself, but beware of the edition you are looking at, and realize that the entry in the catalog might be incomplete:

The Collectibles Catalog

The King Illustrations Catalog

You can email your answers to me at sgaisserindiego@yahoo.com or you can post them here for all to see. Rating will end on Sunday, March 25th around 12pm Pacific DAYLIGHT Time.

The more votes the better. If you don't want your vote public, just send it to Shannon.

[Shannon]

I spammed everyone i could. There's still a few days left before the next round

[SierraKiloCollector]

It wasn't until I starting doing this that I realized how some of the artwork in SK's massive collection of titles REALLY stands out from some of the others.

Cheers!
