I sent a question through eBay asking about the end papers - wonder if he'll reply?
Dear Flatsigned - It appears that this book has had the endpapers replaced. The one's pictured here are not original. Your auction doesn't mention this fact. Please advise.

Looks like it is one of the "Only 48 of these special commissioned books will be signed, numbered, lined & dated by Joe" for 'kickbuttbooks'.
Proven by Ralph Mulleins to be FAKE.

Fraudulent.
That's one of the fraudulent copies.
I'll contact the seller and explain. Wish me luck.

Screw that. Even if it were real, I'd need a better look at the signature before I'd bid.

Even with the bad pictures it looks like a fake to me. *sigh*
I'm not a super expert, but I don't like it too...
Thoughts about this sig?
Sloth Love Chunk
My gut feel is that it's probably okay, but considering the seller, I'd avoid it anyway.

I contacted the guy and told him the sig was fake and he should end the auction, and surprisingly enough he already ended it. Might be a good person !That one IS terrible!

The funny part about your statement is that he lives about 5 miles from me...
Well, I have to say that with the below on the listing I don't think I will ever trust him, since he put this sig up for auction at all.I contacted the guy and told him the sig was fake and he should end the auction, and surprisingly enough he already ended it. Might be a good person !That one IS terrible!

However, the fact that he originally may not have known it was a fake says nothing. If he collects autographs, he may not be familiar with King's like we are. That he removed the listing and has not, so far, relisted it speaks volumes.

He actually emailed me back and thanked me for letting him know. He said after i emailed him he researched it and realized it did not match Kings signature so he pulled the auction immediately. He said he was glad i pointed it out to him and that he was emabarassed for even listing it. He claims he bought it from someone and basically he was duped himself.
Could all be true, could be a cover but atleast he pulled it and hasn't relisted it.
