In format you should add that this comes with a map (poster size I guess you could say)

Crap, mine didn't come with a map - unless I put it somewhere for safe keeping (not likely).

If anyone has a copy of these, could you tell me if they match up to yours? Things like the paper colour or stock or binding?

I bought this product secondhand from Titan and have been trying to get a new map from Kent. Since I bought it secondhand, Kent contacted the original owner who now claims to still have his copy and is telling me mine is a forgery. Personally I think these are authentic but figured I would ask how they compare to a known authentic copy?

Color on my cover is lighter then the picture you have, not sure if scan or photo.
Mine is like yours, though does your's have a clear cover (protecting the cover page)?
Also is the # in blue ink (not sure if these were all signed, but I have mine signed)
Did Kent ask Titan what number they have and does it match yours?

Mine does have the clear cover as well. It is signed and numbered 970 in black ink. Kent, keeps a record of who he has sold them to and by looking up 970 he contacted the original purchaser who says he still has his copy. Hence he informed me that mine is a fake and will not sell me the map.

I have trouble believing this because it just seems like too much work to duplicate. If it was just a bunch of photocopied sheets I might be convinced but Loki's Wine and Terror are large sheets of paper, printed on both sides and folded then stapled. TP is 222 double sided pages which again just seems like a lot of trouble to reproduce. Also, I bought this relatively cheap from Titan (cheaper than getting it from Kent) so Titan must have bought it for basically nothing and I'm sure it wouldn't have even covered the photocopying expense.

Here is a scan of my signed page:
http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/~mdtpetri/tot/kk.jpg

The number and signature are done in pen and not just photocopied onto the page either. I also see no evidence of photocopied staple marks, coil binding edge, or page edges. I am pretty much convinced its authentic.

That all looks genuine..can the 'true' owner provide a photo or scan of said page or are they not looking at things right and may have another one. Seems odd..

It looks absolutely genuine.
As Plaag said, the cover is lighter than the scan, and there is also a clear cover.

Mine is #904, and I can tell you that the '9' is absolutely the same as yours.

So much work to duplicate, you are right. Nosense !

BTW I bought an extra map of Tarracina. Interested ?

After talking with Mars I agreed he seemed to have a legit copy and sold him a duplicate poster sized map, months ago, for $3 plus USPS first class shipping.
