You know, it kinda looks like RHOADS is spelled out R-H-E-A-L-S. At least it does to me.
Sorry, but buying an autograph just does nothing fo me. Frank, can I have your autograph? And no, I'm not payin' for it either. i think I've paid enough so far.....

Randy used Fender Medium picks and he never had any signature picks made for him on any of the Ozzy tours.Plus he's only asking for £99 and £97 each save your money please and stay well clear of these ...

I really want a Rhoads autograph, I thought I saw one for a good price the other day but it was apparently fake :(. It really sucks that there's so many fake ones.

Yeah i totally agree with you with the market being flooded with that many fakes you need something like this thread to guide you in the right direction.But if i see an original i will let you know OK Welcome to the site and keep checking back to see if one becomes available OK

I seen this and i'm questioning if this is genuine i had a look at Frank's postcard and most of Randy's writing is printed rather then 'joined up' writing.The signature looks ok but i'm very dubious when a signature has to be sold with a certificate of authenticity.

rr autographs

Post by david brenton »

I got an autographed blizzard of oz album with- ozzy's signature,tommy aldridge's,and then,there is a drawing of a bat over the black cat in the photo,the drawing is done with a different ink than the other signatures.Does anyone know if Randy used to draw doodles instead of signing?I have found two examples where RR signed his name with a heart and a circle around it.,done in the same compacted style as the bat drawing.
I got the album at a used record store in new york,it was in the 2 dollar bin.I told the owner it looked like Ozzy signed it,he said it was probably someone scribbling on the album,knowing it was not a scribble,I bought it.I am hoping Randy drew the bat,looking for evidence that he did.[/b]
