    Funny..."carnival" was EXACTLY the word I was thinking...
    I think creating these adds from his template for all these years and staring at them non stop has probably caused much brain damage to this poor honest seller....

    I think eBay is his part time job. I think his full-time job is a long career writing all that junk mail that comes to me by snailmail every day.

    I have gone round and round with this seller before. He used to live about an hour from me. I've offered several times to visit his place and give him a free lesson in seller etiquette and show him what true first editions look like.

    He never responded for some reason

    Why let the facts get in the way of a good story?

    I know these pictures aren't the best, but your thoughts on them if you will please...the 'K' on the second one looks a bit dodgy but the rest looks good - well, to me anyway. If it's any help they were supposed to be both signed at one place in 1998.

    Is there any way you can make the pictures bigger? I'm having trouble seeing the signatures.

    Because your post count was 19. It changed again when you posted this question and increased your post count. There are a few hidden member titles like that - related to post count.

    I don't think any of us would be able to make a judgement based on those images. Sorry.

    I'm with Eddy, I would still say real, even without better pics, although the images are horrible, I would definitely take the chance if the price was reasonable (under $100 each??) to see them closer. I wouldn't pay more though without better pics.
    I do think better images will show them as very good and real.

    They do look like recent sigs. Mostly like those from the earlier part of the 2000's than the most recent ones from the last year or so that I've seen. All I can say is that if they ARE fakes, they're good fakes.

    Default Help - Identifying Signed Book

    Hello, I'm still kind of new here so I apologise if I have posted this topic in the wrong forum or on a wrong part of the board.

    I just bought a signed King book on ebay and was wondering if anyone here, could give me their opinions on whether they think it is a genuine signature - or not? Would it be ok to post the picture from ebay here?

    Thanks

    Jonah

    Welcome to Calvin's Corner!

    We'd be glad to help you, Jonah. Please post the picture or the eBay link. (I hope, for your sake, that it's genuine. If it's not, it's too late!)
