In my “expert” opinion, the cover art looks blurry, the matte finish is concerning, and the signet logo being cut off seems wrong.

Wouldn't that be Conspiracy to Commit Fraud?

It’s already mail fraud in the us to ship counterfeit goods
King almost needs to start using his own authentication sticker like jk Rowling does. Might even get people to stop bugging him for signatures on the street.
With our litigious society I'm surprised they haven't been sued yet
Agree. I still use it but only for a few sellers I've purchased from in the past. They really need to work on their rating system. Having a star system is nice but it only tracks return rates.
Agree. Signatures look identical.
And it sold -- yikes. I like how they never actually say it is signed by King.[/QUOTE]

That was my first thought. It also comes with a DIY...
No problem. I'm learning as well. It's a good thing that publishers now include, for the most part, printing numbers, otherwise the whole collecting world would be a hell of a lot more confusing.

There is one seller of fakes that was banned from eBay because of clear evidence of fraud. His seller name was Brennan something. The whole scenario played out earlier in this thread.
He may have...
He has a picture of some guy with King so it has to be real...:rolleyes3:
Can no one hand him a fine point sharpie or a pen?! This looks like it was signed with a crayola marker.
I wonder how many of these sellers are knowingly selling forgeries and how many believe what they have is legit but lack the knowledge to know otherwise.
And nice work Ralph. Can't wait to hear...
From our friend Brennan. I like how he didn't have a first issue dust jacket so he cut off the price and then tore what i assume was the book club edition identifier from the jacket.

Legit. Probably signed in 1975. Wish it was a first edition.[/QUOTE]
Thanks. I'll move this to the intriguing items area.
Thoughts?

I love that they are wearing cloth gloves.
The seller says the signature is in pen but it looks like pencil to me.
Abebooks is definitely better then eBay. And I've been hurt because I didn't ask questions.
eBay surprisingly. I think it was just the seller being a real nice person. There are plenty others who would have ignored me and I wouldn't have gotten anything back since eBay doesn't care. I think...
