No Good.
Never saw a small "s" in his sig before either.

At the risk of annoying another member.......... I will take the stand as saying I do not believe it legit. I would not have it.
FYI: If I recall properly that is a pic taken by Amy Guip...
NO!

What he said
But also what he said. If I were in the business of selling autographs I would make a point of resolving the provenance issue. I mentioned before you could have someone shadow you and his sole job is snapping picture after picture of him signing. Im not sure where the idea came from that King did not like his picture taken. Every event, meet and greet etc Ive been to he doesnt seem to have a problem with it at all (though the handlers demand the flash be turned off). Regardless, there are some sigs that are just too butt ugly to own whether they are legit or not. Here's one I obtained at the Rock Bottom event. Im ok with it in my collection because I watched him sign it but I would never touch this with a fifty foot pole if it was being offered for sale no matter what provenance was included.
reality continues to ruin my life
The guy just doesn't quit:
Insomnia-Stephen King-Possibly SIGNED?-First Edition/1st Printing-FINE condition
It's the forgeries market. All you have to do is add a disclaimer.
ebay's policies actually forbid such disclaimers, but unless several people complain the fraudsters persist.
Reported.
Me too.
I also reported this one:
Dolores-Claiborne-Stephen-King-Possibly-SIGNED-TRUE-First-Edition-1st-Printing

How I report on a seller's forgeries on eBay? I've found one villain who faked Umberto Eco (am fan of him too) sig.
I suggest here that when a seller tries to sell a fake signature on eBay - at least 5 members (we can choose a loyal team to do that) would report on him to eBay management, at least this would somehow decrease the tsunamy of fake sigs that kills our collecting hobby.
I also reported that one and the Insomnia one, the guy is a jerk and deserves to be shut down, all this "possibly signed" business is very tacky
Tommy,
No, not shut down, but shot down!
I reported him too.
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
I reported his books. If ~5-10 people helped out and reported the item(s), he would probably stop (for a brief time). Still adds to his grief
I reported them as well.

Look on the lower right of the title section of the ad, before the description. There will be a link to print and a link report an item. Click "Report and item." Select "Copyright and trademark" then "Counterfeit item or authenticity disclaimer" then "Counterfeit, fake, or replica items." You will then be able to give a brief description of the problem.
Thanks for the instructions Brian ... My name can now be added to the list of reportees ...Look on the lower right of the title section of the ad, before the description.

We all float down here!

Thank you for the very helpful instructions.
We MUST fight constantly those villains that simply kill our dear hobby. eBay has become a so dangerous place to get in due to their sabotage.
I reported it too. I get tired of these people.
Reported. I emailed the seller a few days ago, telling him it was a fake. This was his response...
"Dear sir,
I agree. Personally, I don't believe the signature is authentic.
If you read the lengthy description I wrote, you would already know this.
However, the professionals who I paid to authenticate this signature,
disagree with us and their determination is inconclusive. They, along with
the antiquarian book seller I purchased this book from, believe the
signature to be genuine and/or can't say with 100% certainty whether it is
or is not authentic. For that reason, I am selling this book but have gone
to great lengths to fully articulate how I do not think the signature is
genuine. I would urge anyone interested in this book to actually read what
I wrote and then make their own determination. I appreciate your message
and do applaud you for taking the initiative to write me with your
thoughts/opinion."
Hopefully he gets banned soon!
