Another Springsteen/E. Street Band LP from Billy Smith

How does he keep obtaining these -- all signed the same way?? Suspicious minds want to know!

If I misinterpreted your meaning, please forgive my mistake. Like yourself, I too am passionate about helping this hobby to be as clean as possible.

I have stated my opinions and asked my questions in all sincerity. Perhaps what caused me to over analyze your words was the fact that they were written in defence of an established seller of forgeries. Mea culpa.

That is ok, we all are passionate when it comes to find the real deal and the good stuff, and expose the bad guys. I am never defending what I think is forgeries. But I still think you are a bit hard when it comes to Billy Smith, he has probably sold some that may not have been real. He has always refunded if questioned. I am 100% sure he never made a forgery himself.

But, my last word here. If you take any of the signatures on this piece, and put them on a separate piece, and people who don`t trust Billy hadn't known where they were from, I am quite certain that most people would say they were good. (Ok, granted, Springsteen`s is a little unusual as I said, but I have seen similar real ones) By the way, checked Ebay now, and it`s sold, probably nobody from this forum though...LOL

I just want to show you my tour programme from 1999, which nobody have ever questioned. If you wonder, it is not from Billy Smith. Even Roger has seen this one and said it is good. Look at the autographs, and tell me if they are similar to the ones in question here. There are probably 10-15 years time difference here though.
