The eBay BS Game: Questionable items, Stephen King signatures, sellers

[Randall Flagg]

Wasn't there a round of books from the FL area not too long ago that had fake signatures in them?

What do you guys think about this one?

This one looks totally legit to me.

It isn't a nice King sig, but I agree it looks legit.

Okay guys here's another that needs a critical eye and opinion:

Definitely a fake. I was at the signing event and this is not even close.

Yeah. Easy enough to prove if it was real he'd be offering the ticket that went with it. If I recall it was 1 for 1. 1ticket, 1 sig. Plus as mentioned, he didn't sign in sharpie it was pen if I recall.

Go get 'em dude!!! lol lol

It'll be interesting to see if that "mystery group" will take care of it. I've been following some lately, and they've been able to remove blatant fakes within about two hours.

[Sam]

Note, though, that he doesn't say he got it at the event. Too many could expose him that way. No, he simply says that he got the autograph in person. I cry bullshit.

Very True. Unless he lives down the block from SK he pretty much had to be at the Oddyseus Event to get a sig though. So the ticket would have been a kinda COA.

I agree, BS!!

This guy may have 100% Positive Feedback rating of 1324 but I see this as a very bad signature!

Check him out here!

That's the worse sig I've ever seen.

[Ves'Ka Gan]

I looked at that JAS a couple days ago & what struck me is that he claims to have proof that it's legit-- it says they aren't included. That's flat out fishy, or if the sig was real--rather rude bc if you buy it you have no proof it is real.

And that Bachman Books--wow. If I can tell it's a fake just by looking at it, you know it's bad!

Signed Four Past Midnight

I could be wrong, but I think I have seen this guy peddling bad sigs in the past.

Nice touch putting the AUTOGRAPHED COPY sticker on the front.

[Randall Flagg]

I agree. It is a poor fake.

[herbertwest]

Why is the title so small compared to the size of the paper?

I remember it is the same with the illustrations on the french book, i thought it was a "mistake". It looks so "wrong". Any idea why is it that way???

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

Worth every penny

[herbertwest]

But he is sincere :

THE BOOK IS HAND SIGNED BY THE WAY OF A SIGNED BOOKPLATE MADE BY ME I HADE A WATER LEAK IN MY HOME THE BOOKPLATE.

The english looks so dodgy to me.. he must be french lol

Is it really a first UK one? I thought it had a different cover?

[jhanic]

It's not the true UK first/first. You're right, that one had a different cover.
Here's a picture of the true first:

[herbertwest]

that's what I thought, thanks to confirm me

[gsvec]

I think he "made" SK's sig, too.

[Fsmdr]

What do you all think of this signature? It looks rather wonky to me but I could be wrong.

From a distance it looks off but I cant tell for sure with out a closer pic

I thought it was a fake but couldn't really tell without a better picture. The seller had another signed item that I thought was an obvious fake so that made me feel more strongly that this one was fake too.
