King's famous loop is soooo distorted.
"Sealed since production".
Actually was such bullshit that I chuckled (and I needed a laugh):
Stephen King Cujo Sealed Since Production

The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
22 bids, Ends in 4 hours. Thoughts? I say fake, terrible "s".
Stephen King signed 11/22/63 1st printing
It COULD be okay (given how sloppy King's signatures have gotten) but I really wouldn't want it in my collection.

Difficult to tell:
Stephen King autographed photo of his house in Bangor, Maine
Weak attempt:
RARE Dolores Claiborne SIGNED 1ST/1ST by Stephen King (1993, Hardcover)
What a waste of a good book:
Stephen King SIGNED "IT" 1st/1st
Meaning what?
That IT signature is terrible.
... And the book has been devalued because of it.
(Book not in great condition however)
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
It was never my intention to sell a book with a fake signature.
Since that appears to be the case, I'll remove it.
Just doesn't feel right:
SIGNED Rose Madder by Stephen King HB/DJ 1st Ed. Near Mint AUTOGRAPHED!

Hi Parhelia, good to see an honest ebayer. Apologies if some of the comments seem direct, we call 'em as we see 'em on this thread i'm afraid. Everywhere else here it's all very friendly!

Thanks guys,
I appreciate the kind words.
Yes, I did become a member a couple of years ago when I was researching some SK books that I had.
I found that this site is the most active and informative site relating to SK.
Sorry, but I've never been much into website conversations, in the future that may change.

You seem like a stand-up guy to acknowledge the problem with your book when pointed out by the knowledgeable folks here. You'd be surprised at how many sellers get defensive and cop a bad attitude and hold fast to the claim of a genuine sig when it is obviously not. Sure, there are some signatures that it is tough to get a final truth on and there are circumstances of good-faith disagreement. But some are pretty obvious.
Anyway, as others have said, this is a great site and I hope you continue to avail yourself of the knowledge and fan-interest here. Lots of good folks here!
