That "D" seems a bit small proportionally and with uncomfortable shape. It also seems a bit busy overall, with an odd /long trail.

I believe there are a couple things drawing novelists to bid on this auction:

1. The auction photos of him walking in the area from the fan's perspective. But as a lot of us know, Dave skipped signing before all his concerts (myself being one of those causalities).

2. The item itself - the program is from his recent tour and would be a highly sentimental gift (especially around the holidays) for someone who attended in the past year

3. Signature placement - ideal placement if it were genuine

Amateur collectors at MOST look for one, maybe two traits in a signature. Gilmour notoriously overlaps the 'd' and 'G' in Gilmour. Yes this signature has that. But literally everything else in the signature screams FAKE.

Just wondering. Was the bid retraction by design? If someone was fishing to find the ceiling of a current high bidder by placing a high bid and then retract it. Thus allowing another bidder to start bumping to up the final price. The current high bidder should have some serious concerns by that retraction.

Judging by this bid history, I certainly wouldn't rule any foul play out. Looks like its getting shilled. Gotta love ebay.

Yesterday, the seller edited the description to the item:

On Nov-30-16 at 05:56:45 PST, seller added the following information:

 !!! AS THE ITEM SEEMS NOT TO BE AUTHENTIC TO SOME BUYERS, PLEASE DO NOT BID IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS !!!

THE AUTOGRAPH IS NOT PERFECT AS IT'S OBTAINED IN A HURRY (WHILE DAVID WAS ENTERING THE AIRPORT HALL)

 !!!!!!!!! BUT IT'S 101 % REAL !!!!!!!!!

I'M NOT THAT PERSON WHO SELLS FAKE AUTOGRAPHS FOR ABOUT US$ 1.500.00, BUT STARTS WITH A PRICE OF US 9.99

SO ANYBODY CAN BUY THE AUTOGRAPH... BUT I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE WHEN YOU MAKE BIDS OF US$ 750.00 OR MORE

SO PLEASE ONCE AGAIN, BEFORE YOU BID JUST CHECK VIA A THIRD PARTY AUTHENTICITY ORGANIZATION

AND IF YOU BELIEVE THERE IS ANY DOUBT... DO NOT BID

BUT DON'T BLAME ME FOR A FAKE SELLER AS I HAVE A 100 % FEEDBACK

It's 100% fake. David didn't sign at airports, hotels etc. throughout his 2016 tour. The only times he signed were book events alongside Polly Samson, his wife and there were just a handful of those (LA, Toronto, NYC, Wales).

Below are CDs I got signed in Wales earlier this year - one of them is for sale, may I add, for a very decent price.
