Greetings all. One of my most cherished memories was when I was about 14 and I met Mr. King at a book signing shortly after Misery came out. My favorite author, my favorite book. I met a buddy of mine a few weeks back, and he is crazy about Mr. King as well. Has a big collection of Mr. King's books, films, promo items - everything. Lots of signed first editions. Although I only own one signed first edition which I watched the great man sign himself, I saw that most of the signatures in my friend's collection have a line through the 7 when dated. Mine does not. I spent the past couple of days studying this. Haven't found too many other examples. Anybody else ever seen this?
