Original Signature or not? Freddie Mercury

just wondering about this: http://cgi.ebay.com/Queen-Freddie-Mercury-Signed-8x10-5-Photo-310_W0QQitemZ300064731972QQihZ020QQcategoryZ29869QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item300064731972#ebayphotohosting

i'd like to buy it but tell me what do you think about sig...

I don't think Freddie Made his D's that loopy...

Its fake...

www.queenautographs.com

Totally fake.

would also say a fake, but look at the link Elizabeth Knightson posted.

Pretty obvious!

The faker tried to fake the fake autographs that were faked by the official fan club.

How ironical :)

Anyway, all the "8x10" signed photos are fake. Always.

Freddie did make loops in his early years when he signed autographs, soooooo I do have an early original and he did make loops, hope this helps you.

It is also a pre print.

Fake

Looks good but it aint Freddie's signature. And the photo looks to be in too good a condition to be over 15 years old. Anything like this I'd want provenance from Queen productions or someone like that.

It's not too long back that Freddie's autograph appeared on ebay on a cd of Queen Rocks which was released 6 years after his death!

As they say on Homes Under The Hammer, buyer beware!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

for me it was very helpful to compare many different autographs from freddie, originals and fakes and early originals and the late originals.
in most cases 8x4 photos are fake, and autographs with silver pen. autographs on a used (sometimes dirty) lp are often genuine. btw items on recent ebay auctions with genuine autgraphs:
