    Perfect example, as a matter of fact that particular copy was up for resale resently by another seller.
    One of the particulars I found interesting about the "Stephen" in the signature of this book is the exactness in which it's duplicated on a few others floating around (same color pen) but... the last part of the signature "King" changes to match the approximate year of signature for that particular book.
    Sorry if this seems confusing, obviously I'm not a professional on this matter.
    I also want to make clear that I'm not claiming these as forgeries, I just find these very suspect.
    In addition, these lite blue copies remind me of the disappearing ink copies that were up for sale here a few years ago.
    Cook, could you elaborate on the disappearing ink books? I have never heard of this and would like to learn more. thanks
    "Disappearing ink" is a phrase that seemed to stick in my mind because of how they appeared to me.
    The phrase disappearing ink might have been mentioned by somebody here on the site as well, my memory is not the best.
    A few years ago a known seller on this site had quite a few for sale that "I" thought looked suspect because all of the signatures appeared ghostlike.
    Thanks, I am so skeptical of any signature NOT signed in from of me.
    I'm sure you meant to say...."Signed in FRONT of me"?
    But why would I find that necessary to point that out?
    Can you say...

    RETRIBUTION?

    Unless King signs a T-shirt in front of you, it's tough to tell if a signature is legit.

    Yep, that copy of 'Cell' is definitely a fake, look at the pressure points, etc. Do you guys report fakes you spot to eBay?

    RWSellers stoops to new lows. Seems like their practice is now to copy inscription pages from books and transfer them onto cards. Here is their copy of Creepshow which comes with an "inscribed card".

    Here is a photo of the inscribed Talisman I bought from Betts...

    His reponse:

    "Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I purchased this book and signature from another person online. I will be taking down the listing, as it does not appear to be authentic. I will be bringing a claim against that seller.

    Thanks."

    I reported the item, and tried for 10 minutes to find somewhere to report the seller generally, with no luck yet. I'll take another shot later. In the meantime, the seller has been writing:

    "Again, thanks for bringing to my attention the problem with the listing. I appreciate it.

    I do not appreciate your vague accusations and threats, however. I run an honest enterprise. I got fooled with this particular item. I know it happens to the most experienced sellers."


    And then...

    "If you think there's any problem with any other signed King book I have listed, please let me know.

    Thanks."
