I recently acquired one of these, unsigned. Is that normal?

Yes, there were a number of them published, unsigned, but with the heavy-duty cover.

Awesome, thank you. So, would this be ... a PC copy?
The issue was done in three states. The normal glossy cover, the matte finish cover unsigned and the matte finish signed.
This was the announcement in the APRIL 1991 issue:
SIGNED, LIMITED EDITION STEPHEN KING ISSUE NOW AVAILABLE
We are pleased to announce that a limited, signed edition of our December 1990 Special Stephen King issue is now available.
A small additional press run of this issue was specially bound in an 80 lb. Irish Linen cover stock, with no advertising on the covers. Stephen King has personally signed only 500 copies of this edition.
The price of this collector's item is $20.00, which includes postage and handling. To avoid dissapointment, rush your check to:
FANTASY & SCIENCE FICTION
PO BOX 56, CORNWALL, CT 06753
The same issue without the signature was offered in a later issue and I believe is still available on the F&SF website.
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.
And the people bowed and prayed, to the cell phone god they made...
Yes, it is available still for $15: http://www.sfsite.com/fsf/backish.htm
I think that's the regular one, not the one with the heavy duty covers.

The $15 one is the one with the heavy covers. I bought mine from them. The $8 one is the regular newsstand issue
Interesting, thank you guys.
