Re: Firestarter - the really expensive one
What I heard was that one copy was lost in a house fire. Kind of ironic, huh?

Interesting timing. Alex Berman had just asked, over on FB, what these are going for nowadays.
Thanks for the update, Mr. Bruce.

Re: Firestarter - the really expensive one
It looks like I was mistaken when I posted the $19,500 figure I just went back & signed in & in fact the final price with BP was $33,750.
It makes me wonder what the Suntup 26 lettered MISERY would bring as it is truly a better production.

In response to that amount, I think Billy Currington summed it up well with.....

I will be getting the PS Publishing Lettered Firestarter for a lot less money.
