I do love that as collections evolve, different paths to collect something much more unique come up.

How much is an Eyes of the Dragon Poster (I believe '89 it came out) that is signed by both King and also the book Illustrator worth? I see them listed for $150-$200 on ebay without any signatures, but wanted to get opinions. It would have been a gift from King himself or a close friend at the time of release, but not sure if dated yet.
Thanks for any insight.

I don't think it's crazy. It's something different. Can never be fulfilled, but certainly takes up less shelf space.

Thanks!
Bumpity bump. No value guidance? Is it just the normal $100 more or so for having both of their signatures? More if there is a date around the time the book was released? I can't find much info on signed posters with King and the Illustrator.
Thanks for any help!!

I see one seller has two different posters for sale for $150 & $200. I don't see any others for sale anywhere. I don't see any that have been sold.Bumpity bump. No value guidance?

I would agree with the added $75- $100 for King's signature. I don't have any idea of what the posters themselves are worth though. Seemingly less than $150 & $200 since they haven't sold. My opinion is that $200 - $250 would be a fair price with the signatures.

My understanding is there were about 200 signed and distributed to book sellers. I have one and I have seen very few of them over the years. I think $250-$300 is a good price.Bumpity bump.

Thank you all for the valuations and analysis on the signed EotD poster. I kind of figured around there.
Thanks again!

"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
Here's the eBay link to the unsigned posters...

Tell him that he can pay in 2 times.
Get half just now.
Buy another one, so that you can give him one.
Get the second half next month or later.
Give him the book.
Make a margin and buy more books?

I'm bidding of a new, fine copy of The Gunslinger (1st ed/2nd print). What would a reasonable max bid be? What do you think it will go for? I've been looking for a new copy like this for a while.

Yeah, fine editions of The Stand S/L are on Abe Books for $2,500 USD + and those sellers aren't really budging. And at least two copies are being sold without the glassine, and they make no mention of it.
$250 - $300 at the moment.
I have always been curious about this. I refer to the that printing as the second edition. There was only one printing of the first edition correct? Many people refer to that second edition as a first edition second printing because the artwork is the same. Which is the accurate description of that release?
The copyright page states Second Edition.
