What I keep thinking about is people's signatures change ... over time, depending on how many books they've signed in one sitting, etc.

I can see any signature being rushed and not "perfect" for any number of reasons ... I guess, personally, I'd need some specific reasons why one would be claimed as a "forgery" if you go to a place that shows his legitimate signatures and it's pretty close to one (or some) of those.

My .02 cents, I'll stop now ...

Yes it is horrible, but genuine. His signatures this century are getting worse after his accident, and of course, age.

That makes sense. Heck, I’m only in my 40’s and my signature has changed quite a bit from 20 years ago.

Certainly signatures change over time, but not this drastically... someone just paid $250 for this:

Whoever bought that deserves to lose their money. It's very very bad.

I do agree. Sorry for that person.

For our new members reading these comments, this is why a place like this website and many threads exist to help any newbie wanting to collect. It's very smart to ask questions and be cautious before buying. Many seasoned collectors visit these boards and always willing to give an opinion and help.

I do agree wholeheartedly, sadly some newbies don't know enough to hunt on their own without help.

My advice, read in on a lot of topics here and also on the Dark Tower forum- though that one seemed to have slowed down a lot in activity or maybe that's just me.

On topic: i think this is fake but in some other groups people seem to think it's legit, so what do you all think?

Thanks, that's what i already thought. I have seen some real and ugly signatures before on the internet but this one just did not seem right to me. ;)
