I'm interested in hearing people's thoughts on this one.
The King looks ok to me, the Stephen seems a little off, but it may just be the power of suggestion as it is posted in this thread.
Are you thinking that the seller is forging signatures and including copies of the same Haven Foundation receipt? Or do you think the receipt is also faked?

I don't trust it - the slant seems to be off......

I think it's good. The angle is funny but the sig looks legit to me.
Yep. Oh well. Live and learn. I'm pretty sure it's the first time I've been burned with a sig on ebay - so could be worse. I'm out about 50 bucks (35 british pounds and another 6 on postage), could have been way worse. I'm just wondering if I can open a case with ebay in a situation like this.
If you are within the time limits you certainly can.
The first step is to contact the seller and tell him that multiple authoritative sources have informed you that the signature is suspect. Let him know that you would like him to provide a return mailing label so you can ship it back to him, and that you would like a refund for the original purchase & shipping price. Be polite. He may well do as you ask.
If he doesn't then open a case with eBay for a counterfeit signature.

It's good.....
Definitely "funky" (top-to-bottom height) but, it's good.
This seller seems like a King fan and should know better than to try to mislead potential buyers:

In a way, he's correct because the book is signed but not by King. He doesn't mention that in the description. If you buy a book that is signed, the assumption is that it's signed by the author.
I doubt eBay would side with him if the buyer files a claim.
all appalling. What's supposed to have happened during the Lisey's Story signing? King fall of his chair and kept going as he fell?
"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
He pulled them. His response:
Thank you for the heads up...I will have them checked out and see what is up, I do not nor will I ever sell anything knowingly to defraud or rip people off, I do pride myself on honesty and when brought to my attention I do what I can to remedy the situation, thanks again and I will have PSA check out as eBay directs when questions arise, I did have PSA check out my other book and they could Not confirm or deny signature, but thanks again and no hrm intended was just selling as bought

Not sure if this is the right thread, what do you think about this signature?

Looks fine (cramped but fine).
Hi,
Looks fine to me. I have one of those I do not really want (post 41 in my collection thread) if interested. Problem is I'm in the UK So postage involved.

Probably a legit auction (but if this is Mark from Copper Dragon Books, he is a scumbag), the auction ends Tuesday 5/27/2014. If you win and pay immediately the best he can do is ship it the next day Media Mail. That will take 3-7 business days to receive.
If the winner is on the East Coast, they would be better off just waiting until street day. <$20 at Costco.
Stephen King ** MR. MERCEDES ** 1st Printing ** On hand and ready to ship!
Not certain, but don't feel good about these. Thoughts?:
