    LOL, that is a terribly bad attempt. Unfortunately, someone bid on this thinking it is real. He/she will find out soon that the signature is crap and that will turn him off on SK collecting forever. That's unfortunate for the potential collector but also for those of us who have collections. It is always better to have more SK collectors than fewer collectors -- for a myriad of reasons. But that's just MHO.

    I'm not in the same league as Hutch, Shibus and carlosdetweiller when it comes to identifying forgeries, but I've seen a lot of signatures. I've been wrong but when I am uncertain, I ask for their opinions and others on the site. And I, like you, keep trying to get better at identifying the good vs. the bad.

    IMO, the slant does not look right on that signature. The "loop" usually intersects the "s", "t" and "p" in Stephen but here it is well above those letters. I've also see a lot of "skipping" (not sure of a better description) in the same place where the loop starts going up and back. I'm hoping that some SOB has not forged a signature into an autopen signature.

    Don't give 'em any ideas that they don't already have. Waterstones already have that with their Facsimile Signatures. Thanks for the information. I'll keep watching the thread and the thumbs up & down.

    Have 2 in mind. Waiting on Bob to approve the final design

    Here are the two:





    Thanks to Bob for input.
    prefer the first - dont like the big ones (unless it's Krystle... )

    Read: "So I can forge a signature on it"...

    Money. Also, I'm sure they don't have someone that can authenticate either. I've contacted them several times about a book listed as a 1st/1st that isn't, and the seller, and no one gets back to me and the book is still up. Luckily no one has bought it, but that isn't the point. Same with signatures. I've reported them and nothing happens. The good news for people here is that the collectors are smart enough to see the fakes from the real ones and it helps the lesser experienced fans which should be greatly appreciated. I love reading and seeing the fakes or possibilities of them on this forum.

    Ebay is just an avenue to sell products. As mentioned above, they don't have a team of experts looking at everything being sold. It's up to the buyer to check and double check.

    Sometimes I run into a seller that thanks me for the professional input and removes the suspect signature. Sometimes I run into a complete jerk who has no problem ripping people off (it's the sad world we live in today). However, I have the satisfaction of at least knowing I tried.

    Don't be too hard on EBay. Again, they are an avenue for selling. King could put a small team together and EBay would listen. That's what big conglomerates do when fake Gucci items show up. It's the same with the movie industry and bootleg movies show up.

    eBay does contact the seller when someone reports. I know, I tested it....haha
