A Rolling Stones assignment. Is it real?

Awhile back I purchased a Rolling Stones newspaper. It was OKed by Roger Epperson before I purchased it. I didn't see, nor can I now see, there was any problems with it. I matted the paper and eventually offered it for sale on eBay where it was pulled by them.

I have since found out that this item sold on eBay in the past without a problem.

Yesterday, I received information from a member on this site who noticed this in a previous discussion and was informed by them that this is a known forgery style.

To also be fair, I have seen an email where Roger Epperson again(today) responded this set of signatures looks fine. Also, I have in my possession a ticket to the event on the same date as the newspaper, attendance wristbands for the event, and photo of the event site and inside during the concert.

I simply would appreciate to figure out if these signatures are, indeed, genuine or do they appear suspect. I both love and dislike a challenge and this is one to me. Appreciate any and all thoughtful responses.

Thank-you.

I'm a fan of doors but i love Howlin Wolf. For me the original back door man song is better... Howlin wolf and hunbert sumlin and also willie Dixon were great and repeat great artists.

To all concerned. The seller has issued a refund to me. There was no intentional deception on the part of the seller. They got it wrong and have now made it right. Please allow this discussion to conclude on the same tone as started. To figure out if a set of autographs were genuine or not. I believe, on that level, this was accomplished. Anything further is not warranted.

I've been very impressed with your temperament, courtesy and professionalism throughout this discussion Joe. It would have been easy and justified to have come unglued at some point. Not only have you maintained your composure, you've actively encouraged others to do the same. Very impressive indeed. A role model for how this site can work when at it's very best. Standing O from me.

Completely agree Christopher, Joe should be commended for this. And..the truth wins out in the end, Joe gets his money back, we all learned a great deal and, hopefully, we will all get to see more of Matt's collection. This has been Epic indeed !!
