Collectible Classifieds-Primarily for Stephen King Items

[Randall Flagg]

I agree. If the bids don't come in I might tell the wife I would be happy with that copy of Insomnia for bday. The only thing more fitting than Carrie due to month/year published is the way I actually live life, as an insomniac

Insomnia (S/L or Gift) is a much prettier book. It just isn't the first published King trade book.
I say enjoy one or the other, and be thankful you are in a position to do so.

I agree totally Flagg. I do count myself lucky to even be considering such a purchase.

[sleeplessdwarf]

And after very little thought, I can say that if the price stays around that area I will be buying it. Ofc I hope you get every penny you can and I will not be TOO sad if one of the guys here come along and scoop it up for more. I hope I am contacting you in 4 days 16 hours with a winning bid. Good luck to you.

Thinking about that unsigned limited of JAS as I neglected to order one...

Shipping, as always, at cost. Coming from Canada it can be a bit pricey, but the more books in the shipment, the more the cost gets spread out and the less ridiculous it is. PM me if you need the exact condition of any books, or if you have any questions.

Heres hoping we can fill some holes!

Just After Sunset Collectors Set w/DVD

Somebody buy this quick. This sold out very fast, and made me very thankful I pre-ordered it. It's one heck of a deal at $10!

Its the US one, not UK. The US one isn't that rare is it?

I was talking about the US one.

I do know they sold out very fast because I was considering picking up a second copy because you can't take out the DVD without destroying the package, and when I looked Amazon.com was no longer selling them. A couple of weeks maybe and they were gone.

but with the way eBay is going they might be selling for $10 now, as it's almost descended into a joke with prices. I have no idea?

[e_taylor]

Cool! I knew it was the more collectible of the two editions, but I didn't know it was sold out. The DVD is still sealed on this copy btw. Thanks for the endorsement!

EDIT: Just took a look at completed listings, and one that didn't mention which edition it was sold for $6, while one that did for approx $15. So I guess $10 isn't too bad.

According to my records, there were about 900,000 first edition, first printings of Just After Sunset, but only about 25,000 copies of the Collector's Edition. This is probably why it's so scarce.

Yes. 25,000 is correct. I only know of about 70 signed by King.

Quick Question John and Ralph - Where do you find print run information? I've been looking for some on the Dark Tower / Stand Graphic Novels and can't find it anywhere.

Thanks in advance.

I got my info from the owner of Odyssey Bookshop where King did the Food Bank signing.

It might be hard to find out the print run of the Dark Tower or Stand Graphic Novels. It's my understanding they print to the order. Someone must know though.

Per the Odyssey website there were 25,000 compared to 1,250,000 standard trades.

The print run for the Collector's Edition was only 25,000, compared with 1.25 million for the regular edition, and we believe we have the only signed Collector's Edition available anywhere.

I think without at least one other confirming source any reference to it should say "purported".

Amazon still have them for sale:

Agreed on saying "purported"

I've tried to verify the print run myself but no response back through email.

I also got my info on the Collector's Set from Odyssey. I think I got the info on the trade print run from Bev Vincent, but I could be mistaken. I know the original advertised print run was larger, but it was cut back.

Interesting that Amazon still has the Collector's set available. I've checked a number of the chain book stores in my area and all have it as unavailable from the publisher.

Sometimes someone like Amazon will shut down sales if it's close to being sold out, in case of returns. They might have reopened sales after they knew they had more copies. Or, and I mean a big "or" it's a second printing.

I must say, I'm pretty interested in seeing what comes of this.

I'm glad my kid is going to college, but this was a bad year for it.

[sleeplessdwarf]

Cool. Counting the hours. Though my wife will likely say the 1k I have spent in two months is my limit for awhile.
