Fake or Real?

Post by Ace5150 »

Same gig I went to in the now demolished Coventry Theatre, but never seen an autograph with a flying V in his signature.
I suspect its a snide one, what do the 'experts' here think?

I seen that item on ebay and all the signatures i have seen from the 1980 UK tour have nothing in comparison to this one. So i would say it is a forged signature the added doodle of the PDV is something i have never seen before. If you see the pics below those are from 1980.

Horrendous fake.Whats worse is the audacity of this scammer to make up some story about how he
got the signature from rr himself.Pathetic.So the lesson here is,even if they offer a sympathetic story to you they can can be lying straight to your face and laughing at you for your gullibility.Note: this seller is a professional collectibles dealer-impressive huh?

I have never really seen a great deal of RR autographs since I have never really gone out looking...

Nevertheless, when I compare my ticket with some of the ones I have seen advertised, I'm never really convinved, especially when a story seems dubious. At least I know what is real with me since I met RR and have his autograph - That really helps me understand the real artical against a forgery when I make a comparision. check my autograph, it may help convince you spot the real thing.
