    That has to be one of the worst attempts at a forgery I have ever seen on eBay!!!! Fake signature, Fake home made "Stephan King" COA and then trying to claim that a BCE is limited to 200 copies! Utter shit!!!
    I sent an email to the seller asking if the book is more valuable because they misspelled his name on the certificate of authenticity

    I told him I was an authority for King signatures and that I would be contacting his local authorities and have him questioned for fraud. Lol

    Good one The seller got back to me and said they didn't know if the misspelling of the name made it more valuable, but wanted to know if I was interested in buying it.

    Thanks, Brian, for providing the link...I was posting from my phone and couldn't get the link from my eBay app. Didn't want to wait, though, until I got home to post from my PC to share this one. I visit this thread often, but all things considered -- with all the shenanigans it has going on -- this one has to be among the most egregious I've seen.

    Update: Looks it's now been taken down -- voluntarily or not, hard to say. I know eBay doesn't care much about such things, but perhaps this one was even too blatant for them.

    Good work to whomever who put the pressure on the seller. As stated, the listing was pulled...probably because of the questions/comments TDT.org members raised/made. I've been ill for the last 3-4 months and unable to do much here regarding the ebay crap. But I'm hoping that my energy remains high so I can help a little to weed out these crooks!

    If you've been ill for the last 3-4 months, the question...Nothing too serious, I hope?....almost seems out of place.
    Hope the worst is behind you - wishing you a speedy recovery!

    I guess AKCs Mr Mercedes is way over priced...look at the deal on this (crappy) signature:

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Stephen-King...-/222073924730

    From an estate sale none the less. Feel bad for the 5 or so separate bidders. But the one with ZERO history bidding it up is always fishy. Sad.

    Not even sure if I should message seller to tell them how bad it is - they're not selling other signed books and it ends in about an hour.

    I like it. I have an almost identical signature on an American SS 2007, with good evidence, photos of signing, etc and from a reputable collector.

    LOL, I wonder if the person that forged these was unsure of how to spell Stephen. Is it a P? Is it a Y? Or is it a really big V?

    I note that both are one-day auctions...I wonder if that's a new tactic we're going to see now, so these scammers can get these auctions up and down again in a short timeframe without anyone reporting them and getting the auction pulled.

    I didn't check his other King items but you are right that the Desperation is no good.
