$125. I see SP found a few extra copies and offered them at issue price. I was too late on the email to pick one up though.

I will have to find me one when I can round up some money. Why is this copy thicker than the other copies is it because they used a better stock of paper or what? I wished I had known it would look this good when you could get it from the publisher.

Thanks, Alan!

[Bad Penny]

Well...this was one of my grails, and when Michaël offered it for only 600 bucks, well...I had to jump in.

Fantastic pick up Ari - particularly with the after market slipcase (always on the look out for one of those my own self)

[Bad Penny]

All signed. I'll post signatures in my collection thread. Honestly, I should have brought more books. No sharpies!

Far freaking out WDiL - it's one thing to hear about some of the guys getting a whole bunch of books signed, another thing altogether to see them stacked thusly - super nice !!!!!

But you got to see King live, and still walked out with two signed copies of Doctor Sleep. Not too shabby!

THE LETTER was a note sent to "MONSTER FANS" offering to sell one of 3 stories for a bout 20 - 30 cents a piece depending on your choice sent out by King in Sept 1963. This was a TRIAD piece with the Triad logo drawn in. The address was hand written by Steve King with a 4 cent stamp used for mailing. This was actually my biggest thrill at this event. I showed it to him pointing out it was 50 years old. He stopped in the middle of his quick signatures and sat reading and examining the whole piece. I told him any comment on it was welcome. He signed , then dated it saying that is a comment in itself. I had made a copy which I offered him which he smiled and willingly accepted.

Really fantastic item. I feel certain you are the only collector with anything like that. I'd love to see a close-up if you are so inclined.

Yes, please do !!!!

[The Library Policeman]

That's an amazing piece, EXPLORER. Great that he dated it for you too. I'd also like to see a close up if you wouldn't mind.

Well done to everyone on getting their respective items signed. Some real treasures in there.
