Hello. I was wondering if anyone could help me authenticate these. The 2 d's appear different than in some of his signatures but I have seen some signed in this manner. Any help would be appreciated.  Thank You

None of these are genuine and are all from the same forger

Are these E. Mckay’s handiwork? The artistry is eerily reminiscent of his MJ fakes.

I thought they probably were forgeries but I was hoping somehow they were real. How could you tell they weren't real? When I purchased them they were listed as genuine autographs and the price wasnt sky high so I figured it was worth taking a shot on them

Speaking for myself, this particular dirtbag tried to sell me fake MJ autographs years before I joined this site.

There are reams and reams of discussions about him and his fakes here. His name is Erick McKay.

One look at the photos you posted and I immediately felt they were his “work.” He often garnishes his fake sigs with doodles and “art” 

As for the sigs themselves, Innuendo is the “go to” around here for Freddie and a a great, trusted source for opinions.

I've been studying Queen and only Queen graphs for 40 years now. Unfortunately I've had to learn the hard way that you can't give too much detail about why a Freddie is fake (especially in this market) because forgers scour sites like these to better their work. And if this is indeed EM's work, he absolutely watches this site. Just for the record, your chances of finding a genuine Freddie Mercury on paper for under about $1,000 is as slim as it gets. Have a look at my Queen value list to see what prices for Freddie go for now. https://live.autographmagazine.com/forum/topics/queen-value-list?co...

No problem. Always happy to help. If you're looking for a Freddie, feel free to add me I can help you find one, or if you just need advice on any future Queen purchases. 

Best

Bruce where were these items for sale, please post a link to them.  I track Erick's forgeries (he knows this so its not a big deal if you post it and also any correspondences you've had with him when asking their history etc, thanks).
