Trying to decide if any - or all - of these are genuine signatures. At first I thought no, then I thought yes, now I'm not sure. If they are, they look a bit rushed/cramped.
Firestarter by Stephen King First 1980 Issue Hardback Book
Misery by Stephen King 1987 First Issued Slipcased Hardback Book
Stephen King Signed Misery BCA First Edition
I wouldn't own any of them
I agree. They are all bad.
I don't like them either.

I don't like the "Firestarter" or first "Misery" at all.
The third "Misery" (the BCA one) MIGHT be ok. The loop on the Stephen is a bit too big and the "King" looks like "Kig" but it does vaguely match some of the signatures around 2009 on the sig forum. But still don't like it much...
Run, don't walk, away quickly. Very bad.
Rubbish. Deceptive ad wording likely to fool a newbie:
Salem's Lot By; Stephen King 1st Edition
Is there a technically correct term for a book like that? First edition BCE? (whereas just calling it a first edition without mentioning BCE is lying by omission) Early BCE? Original BCE?
28 in 23 (?)!!!!
63 in '23!!!!!!!!!!

The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????

Looks like something he did out of Desperation. Steven King signed autograph "Desperation" http://www.ebay.com/itm/Steven-King-...item3a8f03212d
I wrote him. His listing says that we should check SKs site to verify the first edition so...

"if you are not sure of it's edition, go to Stephen King site to see that this is a true first edition"
That's great advice. You should take it, and then stop listing a BCE as a first edition.

"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
Does anyone know who this person is? Goes by the name of "rareandsigned" on ABE. Advertises himself (or herself) as the "leading Stephen King autograph expert on the internet." What an overinflated claim!

I looked through multiple pages on on Yelp (searched bookstores in Leeds) and didn't see any mention of SK. Thought it may have helped narrow it down but it didn't. Sorry.

Slaps head. I should have tried that first. It seems like it could be the same company as they boast having a massive collection of over 300 hand signed SK books. Here is the link to the about us page:
