Hello Folks,
Please, around your opinions. I search for a long time a signed Hot Space. Today I received an offer. Here a scan:

Sorry, the picture does not give any more.
The signature is from disintegrate very much threatened. From black became light grey :-( Luckily the ballpoint pen pressure is firmly in the cardboard.
Thank you for yours answer & Happy New Year@all
Sorry for my bad english ;-)
I'm not convinced about the signatures, John Deacon's stands out to me as being inconsistent with others I've seen.
Unless you were there when it was signed, why bother?
There's no way to know for sure, and the people who signed it didn't do that for you. I'd set my sights a little lower. I'm sure that John Waite would be happy to autograph a Bad English CD for you anytime.
To paraphrase Bad English - when I see you post, Micro, I see a ray of light.
I am 100% certain that all these signatures are fake. Please do not pursue buying the LP, you would only be wasting your cash, whilst also encouraging the cunt who is trying to scam you to churn out some more.
I really don't understand why so many people fall for obvious fakes like this on an almost daily basis, especially on fucking ebay where they are rife - and the fat cats at that company allow it, too. People are even buying PRINTS of fakes. AAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!
Rant over.

Hi Microwave, how you keeping? It's been a while!
Why bother? - I suppose it's just wanting to own a bit of history. I mean, we weren't there when they recorded their albums, but we still want to hear them lol. Obviously, it's not possible to meet every single one of your heroes (some are lucky to meet any at all), but it is nice to own something they signed, it doesn't matter if you were there to get it in person. I never got the chance to meet Freddie as I was too young to get anywhere near Queen, but it just feels good having his signature in my collection.
Question: How can you tell if an autograph for sale is a good fake or a poor genuine one?
Simple answer: You can't
Kurgan, you've made the samepoint in each of these threads, we get what you're saying man. Point is, you can. Not always, granted, but a fair whack of the time. Like I say, when you spend long enough hunting down autographs, particularly if it's someone specific, you can pick up some pretty decent hints about what's real or not. In each case you've asked this question, they have been obvious fakes. A bit of research goes along way.
Thank you all! My suspicion has been confirmed. The signatures are faked.
And now I have another offer of a signed Magic LP. From a shop assistant I know for over 10 years. I think the signatures are real. What do you mean?
Right.
They are either good or bad fakes or good or bad genuine autographs.
Hope I have made myself clear this time.
What I am trying to say is there is no way YOU can ever be sure they are 100% genuine.
Get it?
