    I felt the same and then one day I felt strongly enough about a signature and decided to post. Glad I did 'cause Ive actually learned a lot more since contributing to the opinions. Cant say I feel 100% confident - especially these days where his sig is so sloppy - but so much better than a year or so ago.

    I'm not liking this one. The "g" looks funny (like John said) but most of the letters seem spaced wrong or something. Just my two cents and my opinion should be taken with a grain of salt.

    The "g" is very strange, but the rest looks real to me, if not extremely ugly. Need to hear from others. I assume this is a very new sig.

    Did we ever get any posts of the 8 books rosannebarr got signed at the event?

    Can you supply a photo of the entire page so we can judge the size of the signature? And, more importantly, what do you think of the signature?

    I think its legit although I don't like the g. It was supposed to have been signed recently in VT.
    unfortunately its in a BCE.
    any idea on value as well, its in nf/nf condition
    here is a better perspective

    Is there any significance to the centering of the signature and the way it is almost perfectly parallel to the printed King?

    I think that it is significant. You never (or hardly ever) see real signatures parallel to the printing like that. Almost always you see the signature at an angle. That just does not look like King's signature to me. The new photo showing more of the page helped me out quite a bit. I don't think it is a legit signature. And it especially doesn't look anything like his recent signatures (as this is purported to be).

    Look at the following 5 comparisons, then decide. I will put my opinion after the images.


















    Spoiler:
    Very tough to decide, but I hate the"G", and don't like the way the lines on the "K" connect. Likely a good fake,

    Interesting, Jerome. I also noticed from your comparisons that none of the loops (coming from the finishing "n" in Stephen) come back across as low as the signature in question.

    It's a good observation about the angle -- my autographs are never straight unless I'm signing a limitation page where there's a line to guide me.

    Not cheap. Couple used ones on ebay that probably don't work properly. Also, you have to order a template from them. I wonder what they would do if you sent a high quality King scan?
    Kind of an obtuse site. Difficult to ascertain pricing.

    Seeing the comparisons and the fact it is so straight on the page I will amend my early decision and say good fake.

    My opinion...... This looks like an attempt to create his sig. It appears as if there was not an even flow, shows hesitation.
    I appears like the creator did a letter or two at a time and the g does look off. It also seems too centered and straight on the page.

    OR..... I suppose potentially it was done with a pen getting short on ink.
    I would not be confident selling that as qenuine.

    It just doesnt seem natural. For me sometimes its more a gut feeling than anything I can really pinpoint. This sig is one of them where my gut is screaming FAKE

    It's almost always a gut feeling with me. I usually can't put into words why I like a sig or not. For me it is either good or it isn't. This particular signature was unusual for me. I really couldn't tell for certain on the closer up image. But the view that showed more of the whole page was very telling and it screamed fake to me on that image. Usually it is the other way around.....I like the closer view to be certain. That was a good exercise for me.

    That is definitely a forged book in the Salem's lot. It doesn't match his newer signatures, and plus the timeline doesn't fit. If it was signed "recently" in VT, the question is when? He doesn't go to VT very often, and especially would not have gone during the winter. Those other books that were dated show that he is down in Sarasota, as he always is during the long winters of New England.
