[knightmare]

Okay thanks, could you tell me why you think so. Which part, I’d like to be able to start recognizing this on my own.

[Randall Flagg]

Every letter in that one is bad.

This seller, primusfan1, actually harassed me about not wanting a fake signature:

They paid PSA to look at their auction and it says it's "likely genuine" which does NOT sound like a ringing endorsement.

They said I shouldn't buy things I can't afford, I referred them to my store.

[HONKYTONKSMASH]

Yeah he has sold a few "questionable"(fake) sigs in the past....PSA brings this quote to mind "If you want me to take a dump in a box, and mark it guaranteed I will... I've got spare time"

[Randall Flagg]

When it comes to verifying items signed by Stephen King, a PSA is almost always worthless, and occasionally worse than that. Putting a sticker in a valuable book is a detriment.



It's free, and we don't always agree, but a person should just come here for valued opinions.

Right, PSA will pass virtually anything in that initial process and aren't much good past that. He will get a closer look at his listings by the fraud department now. That's one great thing about an anchor store is the full on merchant support vs. the call and talk to an ebay bot

With the tdt.org as an asset for legitimate signatures, it doesn't make any sense to rely on opinions from PSA, etc. for authenticity. I will never hold a signed SK book with a certificate from one of those organizations.

Greyfell's stuff is trash. Do not entertain any of its listings, no matter how good the prices seem.

[HONKYTONKSMASH]

Yep^

Definitely avoid

So this is graded as fake?

[Randall Flagg]

IMO, the image is too blurry to say anything but no.
If it isn't clear, do not endear.

[webstar1000]

Grey fell is total
Slime. Do not buy nothing from that loser.

[knightmare]

I’m gonna buy it and send it to JSA. Maybe they can get their come uppins if it’s fake

[Lot guy]

There are some legit Viking bookplates like this, I purchased one from an ex Viking employee, this one is too blurry to tell
