Rare and Promotional Stephen King Items

[Br!an]

Well known seller.
Stephen King-The Stand Complete and Uncut Book promotional piece.

Never heard of this guy. Must be new to the forum.

I like this part of the description the best... "As a bonus I will toss in my business card"

Glad that's working for you!

Hi there all! I'm a longtime King aficionado (and a published scholar on writers like H.P. Lovecraft and Clark Ashton Smith), and I wanted to inquire about an obscure promotional item that I can't seem to locate anywhere online.

I recently came across a cache of King promo materials that consists of copies of the Dreamcatcher handwritten promotional ledger (on eBay HERE) as well as the Finders Keepersbroadside that was distributed to bookstores in 2015 (on eBay HERE).

What I can't seem to find much info about is a variant of the 2015 Finders Keepers broadside that includes a BLUE King signature at the bottom which the standard item lacks. I've included pictures here of both the standard and the variant broadsides.

It seems rather rare, and I was hoping others could shed light on this!

Thanks for your time,
Michael

Here are the infos :

I don't know that it is a published variant. It simply appears that someone was able to get thier copy signed.

That's what it looks like to me.

The copy with the blue signature under the black one, is a legitimate KIng signature done after the broadside was printed.

I bought Jerome's promo umbrella for Mr. Mercedes. Does anyone know the story behind these? What country did them? etc?

Thank you!

Niels first posted his in the Pride and Joy thread.

Haven't seen anyone posting one of these:

When Ari posted a picture of one in the Promotional items thread, Niels offered to buy some for those interested. There were a dozen of us interested. dnemec received a box full of them and shipped them on to us.

Are you willing to buy a few and ship them on, Niels? I would volunteer to be the US buyer and distributor as it seems there are a few of us interested in them.

[Niels]

That was great fun to do!

I'm in the Umbrella Club. It is one of my favorite King promo items. I have not opened it though.

Brian, I'm always amazed at your ability to retrieve old posts, etc. when needed. You're like the Wikipedia of TDT.

Was thinking the same thing. I remember doing that, but couldn't even guess when it was.

Don't forget the Korean one.
It was black, with the smiley face.

They have SK related pillows as well!

Thanks, guys and gals. I have a fairly good memory. That and the search function produced results.

Don't forget the Korean one.

I would have purchased one of those too. The problem being our Korean friend doesn't seem to speak English. They didn't reply to PM's about purchasing Korean promo items. I tried a few times.

The retailer will send books to the US, but they don't send promotional items. Paul - zelig - tried his best to obtain promos from the seller without success too.

Buying those South Korea books is a major challenge. I did eventually have success by purchasing through their US site but signing up for an account and going through the order process was tedious. Eventually I got the book. It was The Long Walk but any promo material was not available outside South Korea.

Didnt know where to put this, but someone on facebook shared the first picture below asking where it was published.
After investigation, i think that it's a project from a designer (Caleb Heisey) but those didn't get released.
Would be a nice collection though (especially the spine)

What are your thoughts on the authenticity of the signature upthread on the broadside?

I would put it in my collection.
