Could this really be authentic? (Details inside)

Charleton Heston signed it? Morgan Freeman? John Huston?

Signed by whom. The Ancients were generally illiterate. If anybody wrote the original stories down, the scrolls are long gone since papyrus has a lifespan.

The best you would ever get would be a scribe- Dom Francois or some such.

The bible stories we know were not actually written down until centuries after they were told by their originators.

Of course it is!

It’s signed by Ralph M. Constantonio, who was the guy at the publishing house who wrapped the plastic around the bound volume. Ralph gets a lot of recognition for being the signer of thousands of bible every year.

But…but…but.. It has an official sticker and everything! You are not allowed to lie in advertising. Are you?

Uh, there was no printing in Biblical times. Whoever signed it lived long after the authors.

Cute prank.

Oh Ye of little faith. Of course it’s signed!

(Signing a book does not connote authorship.)

Stickers were very popular in the BC era. I’d buy it.

Seems legit.

@rojo Don’t be taken in by an obvious prank….this one though is the real deal.

@Cruiser – wow, a true collector’s item. if I had a million dollars….

@elbanditoroso
you would still be short 69 cent

Please do your own research

I think it is an hilarious statement. Signed by You Know Who. And the fact that it is sealed and that breaking the seal would diminish it’s value, creates an interesting conundrum. I would have that on my bookshelf in a second and my friends would laugh their asses off. The guy who came up with this was having a genius moment.

@ARE_you_kidding_me The one reviewer “Bloodier than Freddy vs. Jason vs. Chuckie…all wrapped up in one book!, ” was outstanding!

The Bible in the OP picture was an ESV (English Standard Version) published in 2009 and translated by Bernard A. Taylor, David A. deSilva, and Dan McCartney. The editor was David Aiken. Maybe signed by them.

Another testament to the carnival aspects at the intersection of commerce and religion. The “signed” , “award” and “gift” designations have about the same worth as all the other promises traditionally associated with the book.
