I don't like that at all. Hesitation and "criminal tremor".
With lust? Is that the inscription? Haha

Well IT IS Valentine's Day! I guessthe forgersorry,the selleroops, I mean the author must have gotten a bit carried away! LOL!
I didn't even notice that. I think the thing that caught my eye first was the date, even more so than the signature. Those aren't the way King's numbers look. Then I looked at the signature and confirmed (in my mind anyway) that the whole thing was bogus. I don't think I even read the inscription.
Hyraxia is beginning to really concern me. I know the owner (Simon, isn't it?) is a sometimes contributor to this website. He has had bogus listings before but has (to my knowledge) never addressed or defended them to TDT.org. I know he is a stand up guy and, I think, a nice guy. But he has listed too many bad King signatures without comment and I feel certain he knows that we have concerns.
If someone is known to sell forgeries, he is not a "stand up guy" in my eyes.
Yeah, that is my concern too. I feel certain he knows that we have alerted members of this site about the most blatant forgeries he has put up for sale. And yet he has never taken them down or addressed our concerns. At least not that I am aware. He just leaves them up for sale knowing that they are bogus.
Anyone can make an honest mistake but I think I am seeing a pattern develop here.
It is strange because he seems to have had a good reputation until just recently. I have had a few positive dealings with him. I wonder if he simply disagrees with the signatures being forgeries and therefore says nothing and continues to sell them. Or if in fact he knows but is disregarding it and still sells them. I keep coming back to how out of character it seems for him.
Too good to be true? Not a lot of info was provided, but he has over 1000 positive feedback, no negative, and sells 1st editions, rare comic books, etc. I picked up up a few minutes after it was posted.

I asked the seller when posted....he refused to respond on jacket price or copyright page info. A good deal for sure (if it's a first).

You have every right to ask before he ships because his auction does say a first edition.

I think there's more than enough info in the title that I can easily get my money back if it turns out not to be a real 1st. I guess it was worth a shot!

Somebody bid on it....WTF people. Really?
It literally looks like a connect-the-dot puzzle. Especially the picture of the backside of the sig page. wOw.
I usually say nothing about sigs, but DAMN....that.is.horrible.Woah.... Hold up guys you got this one wrong! The seller has sold 1164 items and has a 100% positive feedback score, so it must be genuine right? LOL!It literally looks like a connect-the-dot puzzle. Especially the picture of the backside of the sig page. wOw.
That is sooooo wrong! Listing ended for whatever reason...ridiculous effort.
Is it just me, or did the seller change the signature picture?

I'm not sure. I don't think you can change photos after bid was placedIs it just me, or did the seller change the signature picture?
Nope, same pic since the auction started. Somebody got a pretty good deal...I'm not sure. I don't think you can change photos after bid was placedIs it just me, or did the seller change the signature picture?
There was a photo change on 2/10. No telling what it was. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...p2047675.l2569Is it just me, or did the seller change the signature picture?

Hmm, good catch. 1 Minute and 25 seconds AFTER the auction began, there was a photo revision (Add or Delete).
I started watching the auction like two minutes after that.....
Regardless, Buyer protected based on pic contained in listing when the auction ended.
