My concern would be that the postcard itself is a copy. Stephen sent these postcards out around 2003, as an alternative when he stopped signing books through the mail. But anyone could potentially scan the postcard, digitally erase the signature, and then make as many copies as they wanted. So I thought I'd ask about the signature itself. It looks perfect to me, but I'm just a novice when it comes to spotting fakes.

Yes - I own one of those myself. I sent a book to him with postage return prepaid box, i think it was around 1997, 7 months later (i thought he stole my book lol) I got my book back unsigned with this autograph card explaining that he has a 12 month waiting list for signing books and have decided to send out these autograph cards instead. Stephen King also said in an interview somewhere that he was doing this. It seems real to me and compared to the dozens of others ive seen, as well as online examples of his autograph, it is real. Another thing ive noticed with his signature - he takes great care signing his name. Never rushed, never those quick "squiggly lines" that you cant even identify a letter let alone a name... These are real. Every once in a while, you'll see them pop up on ebay too.
