Sure looks poor to me.
Me too.
Geez, I could do that.

This seller sure tells a compelling story, and does have a photo that appears to show SK signing a copy of the Scribner hardback of The Green Mile.

Is it just me, or is this seller, with Zero feedback a little screwed up to start this auction at 3.5K?
First Editions

But, it seems to be an honest listing anyway...
Yeah, it's crap
I'd be more inclined to believe him if I could see pics of the signatures.

Why does look wrong?
1. The Night Shift volume does not have the words "First Edition" on the copyright page, and no picture of the front flap to show the price. It's probably a book club edition.
2. The Shining volume says it's in the original shrinkwrap, but as far as I know, that book was never issued in shrinkwrap. See above also.
The seller is one of those places that takes items on consignment so they can, perhaps correctly, state that they only are repeating what they were told. Or not. Who knows?

Not to mention the green spine and back cover makes it most likely a BOMC edition on The Shining.
LMAO at the sealed book!!! Those are awesomely bad. I agree---they're both BOMC books, I bet.
I've got a shrink wrap machine at my work if anyone wants their books sealed
I wonder if Doubleday ever used aluminum foil? Or those big gallon-size ziplock bags? I've got those too!!!
Bump.This seller sure tells a compelling story, and does have a photo that appears to show SK signing a copy of the Scribner hardback of The Green Mile.

opinions on the signature?
The King signature I'll leave for the experts. I did go checking out sites where they sell autographs and only found one somewhat similar to that Tom Hanks sig(and there are still differences). That doesn't mean it's not real... I'm just saying what I found.
More BS from renaissance_auctions:
I don't recall ever seeing a King signature with a double hash on the underline.
Nor do I recall ever seeing that.
It is getting to the point where all I need to do is see his name to know they are FAKE!
I can't see anything obviously wrong with the SK sig. I have no idea on the TH one. This sure would be a one-of-a-kind.Bump.This seller sure tells a compelling story, and does have a photo that appears to show SK signing a copy of the Scribner hardback of The Green Mile.

Thats pretty bad.

I agree that the King sig seems to be good. I have no clue what a Hanks sig is supposed to look like.
I did a "google Image" search and there's MANY incarnations of Tom Hank's sig. I did see some that were along the lines of the one above. Some were a lot more proper and legible. I'd say it's a good chance that it's authentic.
