Ahh. I took it to mean that 6 more were there to sell after his garage quarantine. Thanks for the clarificationOriginally Posted by Roseannebarr
Read the post again, he got the first 6 in. Already sold they are in Quarantine. Hopefully he will get more to sell! All copies for sale on eBay are currently at over $800. Feeding frenzy over?

I already took preorders...the first 6 arrived today....quarantined for 24 hrs in my garage.
Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
I did this today as well, although one Costco trip took care of it. I put a Brodart cover on the new dj and now it looks great.That's what I did. Had to travel to two Targets and a Walmart, but I did it.

Here is my book. I consider it to be F/F (as new):
DJ corners sharp and crisp
Book spine and boards in great shape
And of course the signature
Definitely a rarity.

A beauty, J.
Is it sacrilegious or even worth it to have the sig tipped into a fine copy?
You don't know my kind.....You don't my mind.....Dark necessities are part of my design.....
Not at all.

If you take a folded 1st state 'Salem's Lot DJ that came from a drawer that never was actually put on production 1st editions of 'Salem's Lot, and then put it on a book is that sacrilege?
No, Sir. I was using the emoji above as I'm seriously considering having it done.

Any qualified book repair person can replace pages, endpapers, etc. on a book. Swapping the DJ can be done by amateurs like you and me.
Definitely in regards to the DJ. Looks like I have a couple of places here in town that might be able to do the page swap.

This is ridiculous.

That is crazy. I've seen packages, particularly Media mail tour the entire country, and take weeks to arrive.
I know... and if it does take weeks, I can only imagine the condition it arrives in.
Minor damage can be repaired easily and cheaply. Still, it sucks. Particularly because if truly lost (after 30 days), the best you can hope to recover is $35.
Yeah it’s gonna be near impossible for a mint copy.... that’s insane how long man

I noticed that too and I am always skeptical of those types of sellers who seem to come out at times like this. I live in S.W. Florida and never heard of or seen most of these sellers previously.
. . .
I HOPE ANYONE WHO BOUGHT FROM THESE SPORTS/MEMORABILIA SELLERS MADE SURE THEY ALSO RECIEVED THE ORIGINAL "PADDED ENVELOPE" THE BOOK WAS MAILED IN FROM THE BOOKSTORE!
That return address & date mailed on the envelope is perhaps THE BEST PROVENANCE the book is really from this signing.
Spoiler:
We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring
will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.

I would think that the sales receipt would be sufficient. Hanging on to the pathetic padded envelope should not be necessary. In fact the envelope would just bring up bad memories...
All that really matters is that King's signature is legitimate.
But just imagine all of the sights it has seen! It could have visited the Grand Canyon, Mount Rushmore, some USPS warehouse in Cleveland.
The possibilities are endless!
If someone is selling multiple copies it is EASY TO SUPPLY JUST A COPY OF a RECIEPT … Way Easier than faking Kings sig.
HOWEVER THE PADDED ENVELOPES each tell a unique (perhaps sad) part of the story.. thus TRUE PROVERNANCE..

I just talked to my local post office. Their best guess is that it’s still sitting in a Florida distribution center, and to give it another week. I mean I know that the mail system has slowed down the past two months, but c’mon!!!This is ridiculous.

I watch a package via tracking go from Florida to Cincinnati Ohio (2 hours from me) to Louisiana and then to Indy and finally me in little Hagerstown Indiana (next to the Ohio border).
Wish List:
Any of the following flatsigned or inscribed-
It, Shining, Salem’s Lot, Mr. Mercedes, The Stand
Brother ARC, Seed ARC
