Anyone besides me think this one stinks?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Stephen-King...item3a8d3f776e
I looked through > 20 King inscriptions and none of had the "F" on "For" look like a #4 with a top line. The "best" looks like "lust" and in those days (late 80's) King's "B" did not look like that.
No bueno.
I don't like it:
Cell SIGNED by Stephen King 1ST/1ST (2006, Hardcover)
That's funny looking.

Bad!!
Crap just keeps popping up:
Stephen King Signed Needful Things book!
I realise I'm bucking the trend and going out on a limb here, but I thought I'd post MY Ebay item. To clarify, I'm a keen SK fan and keen collector. I have 81 SK 1st editions in my collection, none of them especially rare, but all very much cherished. A long time ago I was given a signed SK IT dust jacket (IT is my favourite of his work), which I have kept safe but which I'm looking to sell in order to add maybe one of his older, more coveted books to my set (the oldest 1st I have is The Dead Zone). Now, this item has been authenticated by Hutch's Rare Books, but I'm opening the floor to you guys to offer your thoughts. This is the eBay listing:
Thanks! :-)
Hi and welcome to the site. In my opinion (and it's just an opinion) your signed dustjacket is way, way overpriced.
Welcome BrotherBarr - are you asking us to give an opinion on the signature or thoughts on your listing price or...?
For what its worth I think the sig is probably legit but the listing price is about four times+ what I would pay

Thank you, both. I appreciate your feedback; the price was originally based on a price I found for a signed IT (which admittedly included the book, and was signed inside!) on Ebay. But I'll definitely take your feedback on board. I was just loathe to ask about value because I didn't want my post to look like I was plugging my listing! So no, I was really just looking for any validation on authenticity.
On a related note, am I alone in thinking this looks a bit dubious? I contacted the seller, and apparently King visited the seller's son at his army base and gave him this signed copy. I must admit I did think at the time, even if that's true, how ungracious are you for selling it!?
That sig looks legit to me. Typical of the current "ugly" King signature. But the story seems bogus. I'm not aware of King visiting Army bases handing out free signed books.
His description is of a UK edition, picture is a US edition and story sounds like a load of crap.
Ugly sig, too. But almost all the sigs Ive seen lately have been ugly so it might be legit. I find it really hard to tell these days.

You are more than welcome to post items for sale in the Collectible Classified thread. Even shameless self promotion is acceptable. http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/...le-Classifieds
This thread is for questionable sales or items, so posting your items here isn't to your best advantage.
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
He was looking for opinions on the signature he is selling. I appreciate that since it sounds like he may not be familiar with King's signature and wants to make sure his is legit.

$150 would be about right IMHO.
