<p>Yep - exactly. The All That You Can't Leave Behind lithos are also good examples. </p>
<p>Compare the nice, perfect signature that Edge gives in ideal signing circumstances on the litho and books from the 2006 book signings to what the Aussie ebay seller is peddling. </p>
<p>Even at the book signings, Bono's autograph went all over the place.</p>

<p>True.. Rarely I see a complete set signed and placed perfectly on the item. The most close to perfect signatures I have seen from the whole band on one item are those on the "Best of 1980-1990" lithographs given out by the band and on some of the "u2 by u2 books"... But also there Bono in particular do vary quite a bit, from very good to very strange (a specially on the book)</p>

<p>Just for kicks, I'll see if there is any evidence of them signing before/after that show in Miami. Again, I think it's irrelevant because those would not be the types of signatures you get by standing outside the venue in a sea of fans anyway. And you certainly wouldn't get a stack of stuff signed by all four band members.</p>

<p>I went back to look at them all again. The more I look at them, the more I start questioning my early statements. I still believe they are almost too perfect. Especially as a group. I am going to take back my 100% fake claim, and just stick with my gut feeling that they are indeed fake. I apologize for all the confusion on my end.:)</p>

<p>I did read negative feedback saying photo was a high resolution reproduction. That's a huge risk even if the autographs looked legit. Collecting signed photos (second hand) is risky business. The older stuff offers a little more comfort as you can see the ball-point indentations. Newer high glossy photos signed in marker???? Hard to pass the buck on those.</p>

The acdc lithos could be good. They did come with a photo of the signings. It should also have a coa with it. I have an Alice Cooper one and a Aqualung signed by Ian Anderson. The coa should be from Musicom or the company that bought out the rest of the unsold stock which is called Visual Gallery. You can find Visual Gallery online

<p>Here is my personlized Bono one. If this ebayer is copying.... he's making good copies. I also looked at his other stuff. HE HAS EVERYTHING! SO MANY BANDS and OUTRAGEOUS PRICES. So I gotta go fake. No one is gonna pony up that kinda cash.</p>

<p>The more I look at the stuff on Ebay, it's all fake. For sure. Larry spent quality time outside with people at Rehearsals in Lakeland, FL 1992. Haven't seen much of him since. I treasure my Larry graphs more so than Bono or Edge, but Adam is always my favorite to see. I believe I have some Larry autographs from 2001. Not too many since.</p>
