This looks fine to me.
Looks good to me. As long as it's not a copy.

gracias guys.  How would I be able to tell if it was a copy or not bearing in mind the kind of paper the sig is written on please?

Ask to see photos of the back of the signed paper. Reprinted items will not have ink bleeding at the stop points of the signature.

None the wiser because unfortunately the ink hasnt come through on the back of the signed  papers the seller has sent me    I had been just about to buy a G Michael sig over xmas and then of course he sadly passed on.  This   is a really nice buy   if I could have purchased it;- but I suppose there is now too big a risk factor in case it turns out to be a copy.  If I did manage to purchase it , is there any other way I would be able to tell if it was a copy once I had it in front of me? thanks for any help /advice

I think this is authentic as well, Michelle. I'm also always worried about copies. That's why if I buy a signed photo, I prefer that the PSA or JSA sticker is on the photo.

As far as being able to tell if it's a copy, it can sometimes be a bit challenging. One time I bought a Madonna signed photo that was spot-on with the signature, but it was supposedly signed in gold paint pen. By tilting the photo and looking at the surface from the side, I could tell that the paint-pen did not rise above the surface of the photo. It did not sit on top. Plus, the surface was completely smooth. It became apparent that the autograph was "in" the photo. It was just a really good high-tech copy.

I think this item would a bit more tricky to tell. Indeed, if the ink bled through, then you would know. Depending on the thickness of the paper, ink doesn't necessarily bleed through. However, this is probably thinner paper.

So having said all that, the ink bleeding through would be telltale. Sometimes you can just look at a piece in front of you and be able to tell. But of course, you don't have that luxury. Okay, so basically, I really haven't helped at all. At least I tried though, right? Sorry. If unsure though, maybe best to avoid.
