Those look real to me, Frank.

The 98 and 93 sigs look great. Not a fan of the 99

The Desperation sig in red looks legit, but the date was not done by Stephen King.

I would not purchase Desperation for my collection, but the other two are very nice.
It's possible Desperation is legit but why bother.

Any thoughts on THIS pic? Given the timeframe, I'm leaning legit, but I find authenticating very early King sigs to be challenging since they frequently look much different than sigs even 3-5 years later.

I’m also less confident with sigs this early. But I’m also leaning towards good. It does seem the signature is darker than the inscription (has it been ‘gone over’)? But I say probably good.

I like it

I have serious doubts, what’s the item this is from?

I was able to grab some older examples from an old TDT thread which discussed King sigs. It looks familiar, but just not sure. You can find all the examples including the one I inquired about HERE.

I feel that both the writing and the signature is completely consistent for the date stated. I see why you are unsure though as there is definitely something odd about the signature weight vs the inscription and I would want to see it in person but from the picture alone, I say probably good.

Hi all

Looking for opinions on this signature. Looks OK to me, but I am no expert
