Put me in the same camp....the first from tigermew is fake.Originally Posted by peripheral
I'm with Brian. I have no doubt the first is fake. The second is rushed and messy, but may be authentic - I still wouldn't want it in my collection.
On the second, I will go a step further and say that it not only may be authentic...it is in fact authentic.

IMO, the second book (by sweetspot....) is an unsightly, but legitimate King signature.
I would bet money "The Cell" is not a 1st printing,Put me in the same camp....the first from tigermew is fake.I'm with Brian. I have no doubt the first is fake. The second is rushed and messy, but may be authentic - I still wouldn't want it in my collection.

I also believe the signature it authentic, ugly but real.

Rest assured I will NOT be purchasing either of these. I felt kind of silly even asking about that tigermew one because it does seem pretty obviously fake but I like to cover my bases whether it makes me look silly or notThank you all for your input. Much appreciated!

Any thoughts on the above sig? I'm inclined to say it's real, and the price is good for it, but the seller references the other signed King book that he has listed (link below), which looks like total shit. Makes me wonder about the one I think is real.

Four bids, $30. Just plain ugly.
Stephen King Mr. MERCEDES Signed Book HB/DJ 1ST EDITION
Hi team. Is this real? Looks ok to me, but I'd just like to confirm. Thanks.
Yes it's real, is it a bookclub?Hi team. Is this real? Looks ok to me, but I'd just like to confirm. Thanks.
“The battle between good and evil is endlessly fascinating because we are participants every day.” - Stephen King
Yeah it looks like book club. Or those later printed copies that were larger than the original. Unfortunately someone posted it online as their pride and joy "first edition". At least the sig is real but it's not a first edition..
I'd stay away.

Another bad seller who seems to stay under the radar:

I'm the caretaker of Room 217..............I've always been the caretaker of Room 217
Yeah, he's definitely to be stayed away from.
He's clever though, nowhere does it actually state it is signed BY Stephen King. Just that it is a signed Stephen King book. Subtle difference but important.
Oh and That Carrie is definitely a BCE. I have one just like it in a pile somewhere. Some poor fool has gone to the trouble of taking it to a signing thinking it was a first.
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
All of the 1st edition identifiers are missing:
The Stand By Stephen King 1st Edition
I offered him $5.
I hope he doesn't accept.
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
It looks like he added book club edition
Yes.It looks like he added book club edition
I didn't bust his balls, just simply inquired as to the DJ price (if any), and the gutter code. He responded promptly that it was a BC edition.
Looks like the description was modified.
Did you win, I offered $2.50 he declinedI offered him $5.
I hope he doesn't accept.
wandsattheready has turned down your offer of US $5.00. Make another offer before the item ends.Did you win, I offered $2.50 he declinedI offered him $5.
I hope he doesn't accept.
Perhaps I should offer less.
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
This thread depresses me. Especially all the bad signatures. It is like a train wreck, I try to stay away, but I always come back for more.
2nd printing. Buyer beware:
