Doesn't state it's a true 1st, but I don't recall the book coming in shrinkwrap, and I'm certain a true 1st did not have a UPC/bar code on the back:
1980s Stephen King CHRISTINE Viking HC still in publishers shrinkwarp.
I'm thinking this is no good, but could I get some more opinions?
Don't think so either, Brian.

I'll keep things going unanimously and agree that it is no good.
Thanks everyone. Oh well!
I just came across two posts on Facebook: two very proud collectors having paid a small fortune for their beloved collector's items.
I didn't have the heart to rain on their parade....

Seen those as well...
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
I really can't comment on any signature except King's. But I suspect that every signature on those scripts is a forgery. Is that what the group thinks too? Isn't that the case with most "signed" scripts?
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
From what i could tell, both proud owners had this in their possession for years.
One of the paid $1,200.00 for what he got - think it was the Misery script.
Now if this would have been a recent buy, I would have spilled the beans.
Not 10+ years after the fact - that would have been cruel...

Ugh. It's heartbreaking to read the comments on that thread. There is a hot place in hell for folks who peddle forgeries.

Finally found the time to contact eBay today via phone. I must say that I'm super impressed with their customer service, they had all the information pulled up about my situation, and ready to go before I was asked to explain the issue. The negative feedback will be removed within the hour, fees will be refunded for the sales, and he'll be blocked from leaving anymore negative feedback regarding the transactions and bidding on any future auctions of mine. Thanks again guys for all the support and advise on how to handle the situation. As always, you guys !!

Awesome result, Brian!!!
Knowing what happens in cases like this, eBay will not only recover the cost of refunding your fees directly from the "buyer", but they will also slap his ass with a various sanctions and buying restrictions for violating eBay's User Agreement Policy.
In a nutshell.... He's fucked!
How do you like those apples? LOL!
I like them apples just fine, brother!

This could be legit. If deemed so, I'll move it. Actually, if legit, I suggest quickly doing the $500 BIN:
Stephen King IT Hand Signed autograph Doodle Beautiful 1st First HC Fine Rare
Fake! Yep, heeeeeeeeeeeeee's baaaaaaaaaaack!
