Authentic 1986 Queen A Kind Of Magic Lp Signed.
Price - make your offer to 2011records@gmail.com
I have no doubts at all that the LP is in fact authentic. But who signed it?
Looks ok to me, the Brian signature seems genuine, and the others look similar to other examples. They are more likely to be genuine than those on the Hot space thread IMHO.
Definite fakes. The Brian one, admittedly, is the one that will fool everyone because it is well done......
unless Brian DID sign it and the others are faked to make it "fully" signed.
I have some autographed Lps and for me it looks authentic

Oh, how very pleasant of you Mr. 2011records. That's exactly the way to make friends AND sell your items.
For your information, I have been collecting Queen and related items for 20 years, and have one of the most extensive collections in the country. That doesn't happen by accident, and I would like to think I have picked up some knowledge along the way. I have also been a record dealer for the past 12 years, and have had some real Queen gems in my hands (an original Blue Bohemian Rhapsody, an array of acetates and a fully signed gold RIAA award to name but a few)....and turned over some nice profits. That, also, does not happen by accident.
During this time, all sorts of fakes like the one you've posted have been offered to me on a regular basis - however, as an avid autograph collector, I also have several genuine handsigned Queen items, and DO know the fakes from the real deal. If you don't, that's fine, let's not make it an issue.
If you believe your item is genuine, then you are entitled to try and sell it here, just like everyone else. But the more educated ones on the forum will avoid obvious fakes - and this is a fake. Also, just to point out, I'm not the only one who believes this.
So now that you actually have contributed sweet FA to the forum, why don't you practice what you preach?
Was a pleasure meeting you.
My arse you have one of the most extensive collections in the country. Any twat can write I have a blue bo rhap blah blah blah...........
Sure, anyone can write that crap. I know. Anyone can sign an LP and call it authentic as well. The difference between you and I is that I say what I mean and mean what I say. And at least I didn't have to resort to name-calling to show people what you are, you've managed that very well yourself.
Now get back under your bridge, the goats are escaping.

=============================
Go away from this site. We don't need fakes.
Question: How can you tell if an autograph for sale is a good fake or a poor genuine one?
Simple answer: You can't
Not strictly true, Kurgan. Sure, it's possible to be fooled by a really good fake, or to even think that a real one is not genuine because it doesn't look right. But then again, there are some obvious fakes and there are some really horrible fakes. IMHO, this is an obvious fake. Also, sometimes gut instinct just tells you it's not right. When you spend long enough looking for autographs, you tend to be able to work out the genuine ones from the trash. This is trash.
Here we go, another autograph expert. I've heard it all before.
If I get pissed and sign my name it looks nothing like my normal signature, even though it's genuine.
People in bands tend to get pissed quite a lot
Conclusion: A genuine autograph can look fake, and for that matter a good fake can look genuine.
I gave the same response in all of the threads because it applies to all the other threads.
