The Sins of the Father

Post by Ben Staad »

I was just curious if the SK signature looks good. This is a book I need and it seems like the price is right.

The sig looks a little funny to me.

Obviously someone could snatch it up first if it's legit.

When it comes to flatsigned books, don't take my opinion over that of any other serious collector out there. I don't specialize in flatsigned copies and generally don't search them out. That being said, I don't like that signature in general, especially with what's going on with the G in King. Looks like it was done and then re-done, not something i'd expect in a King sig.

If you check BOOKFINDER.COM right now you will find a S/L for sale for about $250.

Thank you both. I greatly appreciate the replies.

The signature does look a bit funny to me. At the end of the day I don't think I would have been happy with it.

I forgot all about bookfinder.com.

The other bonus would be no book plate, known signature, and it's cheaper.

Win. Win.

I notice that the copy Mr. Bruce mentioned is a PC copy. Just for the King signature that still seems like a decent price to me.

Any thoughts on this from the masses?

Yeah I mean King's signature on anything is at minimum worth $200.
