Thanks! I'm going to wait out by the stage door before the panel, as well as after. I realize that since there are a good deal of other things going on that day, I might be lucky and have people rushing around. He might also just rush out while people are still inside, so I might have a chance. Plus, people might be more interested in hearing his rare panel appearance and would be inside, anyway. If dealers are outside, and I yell "I HAVE $300 FOR ONE OF YOUR CHARITIES", I don't think he'd have a problem signing for me and nobody else... I hope, at least.

Thanks for the comments everyone. As far as this site goes, I am happy to offer my items for sale on here. I figure it gives members another option to purchase items. If people want to purchase them, great, if not, I'm not too worried about it. I'm happy to answer any questions or whatever on my items.

As far as King goes, I cannot exactly go into specifics due to the difficulty in not only obtaining his signature, but also in seeing him. I can disclose that I spend many hours going for King and it takes work to get him on the pieces you want signed. He is difficult not only signing, but also with switching pens. He uses his own pen. He has severe OCD and doesn't like to use other people's pens or anything like that. He doesn't take photos with people, and doesn't usually like to sign anything other than books. He usually personalizes but can be persuaded otherwise. Other than that, he is a very strange man, but very cordial. If he doesn't want to sign, he will certainly let you know. If he wants to sign, he will.

Good luck with your photo, he doesn't have a scheduled signing at the fair, and there will be a lot of people around. He doesn't like signing in crowds, and I'm unsure if I will be going down to attend that or not due to me having no luck at all with him with big crowds going for him.

Those are extremely fair prices for an authentic King signature.

I'm very interested in King (met him in Dundalk, MD during his 'Under the Dome' mini-tour), and will be offering him $300 to sign my Pet Sematary 8x10 signed by Fred Gwynne, Dale Midkiff, Denise Crosby, Miko Hughes, Brad Greenquist, and Andrew Hubatsek in New York in October...

Could you please tell me (on this thread or through a PM) how you obtained these signatures? Stories! I've seen very little video of him outside in the normal world (not in a signing, interview, etc) and am curious how you were able to pull these off.

Very nice autographs...and you are right, its a fair asking price and on other collecting sites and auction sites you might get serious bidders for what you have. Good luck in selling them, do a little research and see where you might have a better chance to sell them. But thanks for posting them, its still cool to see.

I've already obtained Tom Hanks in-person at the Great Buck Howard premiere, but I must say that autograph you got of him sitting in the ice-like chair is very nice. Great photo with a nice full signature. Nice! {up}

Inflated prices? Hardly. There are more King forgeries on the market than any other author. Not to mention the rarity of finding unpersonalized signatures, coupled with the difficulty in obtaining his signature on older books/items now. If you have any questions or comments, pm me. No reason to clog up threads with posts such as this.

Thanks
So, I am guessing they come with COAs? If so, you should know that those are just as easily duplicated.

Why should we believe your books are any better?
I'm really not too interested in getting into an argument with you. If you want to do the research and compare my Stephen King signatures with authentic examples of his signature in Limited Edition Signed books straight from the publisher, go ahead. I have nothing to hide. These are 100% authentic. If you feel they aren't, then you are entitled to your opinion. However, lashing out because the price is high, and then questioning the authenticity of my items is not really fair.

I will also add, like I said in the first post, these were all obtained In-Person by myself. I have spent many hours chasing King for the past couple years, and he is by far one of the toughest graphs to obtain. He doesn't sign anything but his current book at book signings, and will not sign any other books. He doesn't even like to do book signings anymore, as he is getting older and they are tiring for him. His latest book that is scheduled to come out in November, he has no tours or signings for. Even when you see him outside of those book signings, he is very difficult to obtain.

I'm not really too concerned about it. If people really want his signature, here are some pieces for sale. If not, then they will pass as the price will look high to some. No worries at all, and thanks for the advice.
