Yeah, it's just too 'clean,' especially the way Stephen is written. Plus, SK usually signs at an angle. And, as you say, trinityline is another scuzzy seller!That is a definite forgery. trinitylinebooks is a known, long time seller of forgeries.

99 King books in .pdf format. I wonder about CR issues.
How can this person have the nerve to list this as a 1st/1st?
Stephen King Book Night Shift 1st/1st
Because he's either ignorant or dishonest. I feel sorry for anyone who ends up buying this because it's a "First Edition".

I emailed the seller when it listed... it's a $15.95 priced later.
If you can get a clear close-up image of the signature from the seller you'll find it to be probably traced with hesitation.I agree it is a forgery, but it is close enough to suck in some unsuspecting buyerYeah, it's just too 'clean,' especially the way Stephen is written.

Definately illegal. They have 25mb of books in pdf format. I checked mine. I have 660mb.
I also have every King story on Word docs. You know my email address.
Rose Madder signed
Pathetic
Hard to tell on a baseball, but I don't think this is King's signature. And at 2K, it would be felonious to sell a fake.
Both are terrible.

Looks like it was done with an Etch-A-Sketch
I half expected the listing to say "King signed this for me while in the back of a bus on a really bumpy road."Looks like it was done with an Etch-A-Sketch
If you're gonna fake a sig, why a bookplate??? Duh!
As for the baseball, It would be nice to have an authentic object of similar proportion to compare. It does look sloppy/ugly. I'm sure that a baseball is not an easy thing to sign, but still...
Gahhh, what a piece of scat! I like the description, " a signature in biro..."

Because they have no confidence in their ability to create the fake signature and a bookplate lets them try and try and try again, until they get it "right."If you're gonna fake a sig, why a bookplate??? Duh!
I'd hate to see the ones they threw away.
Yeah, if that one was the best
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
Here's a better baseball....

More crapola. Wow, according to the description, "When I obtained this PIECE in aucion , it was valued at approximately $2795!" I'm thinking $27.95 for the frame...

It actually-for the right price is a decent piece. One would need to remove the bogus signature, and if they had a legitimate signature on a card or bookplate insert it in the space and it would be cool.
I'd buy it for the aforementioned $27.95.
I deeply wonder about this signature:
DARK TOWER IV: WIZARD AND GLASS STEPHEN KING SIGNED 1st
Several people have asked me about this - It's CRAPPOLA
