For anyone monitoring this thread, do not take silence as a form of giving up. I hate giving info if it doesn't relate to facts.. this is way to huge of an issue to ignore.. I guarantee people are working behind the scenes, not just me

Jason, absolutely agree and No criticism of you for the silence. My comment was aimed at Castle who I am continuing to prod!  This is one for Steve the administrator for this site .   We appear to have lost  visibility of anything posted on Wednesday or Thursday . Are these sitting elsewhere ?  Someone may have posted a silver bullet and it is not being seen. Thank you

Nothing received by the system Wed-Thu was held back by us or the system, and the links are the same no matter what forum a post is in. Please reupload what's missing.

I believe the signatures pre 2018 are safe.   I say this because I have bought one practically every year and all are consistent with each other and the straight up writing and straight down y with no cross . This is also consistent with the LP that he signed 22nd November 2022 for a charity auction. I did not buy anything in 2018 but I bought in 2019 and Asia in 2021.  These are outliers- how can a signature change and revert back ?

This is the signature that I have on a 2019 "Joshua Tree" print.  I haven't reach out to Castle yet.

Compare with My 2017 Lighthouse in Maine which is consistent with all earlier releases.  No curly “y” with a cross . There are others on this site who also have concerns about Joshua Tree.

Hi Jane, Thanks for this. I have seen a few others, just like the one you posted, No doubt hand signed, starts off with his normal "vertical" signature but "lan" in Dylan matches up great with a few of the "slanted" style signatures.. I've seen so many examples over the last month and am still looking into everything I can find. If Castle would just release 1 video of Dylan signing, we may be able to confirm suspicions. Im very concerned that this situation is taking them so long to address this further. This is a lot of money at stake. I'm sure they are being extremely careful with how everything they say is handled which is causing some delays. There is just way too much money involved with this for Castle Fine Art, Bob Dylan, and whatever legal team is involve, to sit on their hands hoping this blows over.

I have taken a different approach with my attempt to contact them. I used a fresh email address and stated specifically who I am, full transparency, and that I am collecting evidence to create another post directly concerning Castle Fine Art and these art prints. I told them I plan on posting it at the end of the month or as soon as I have enough evidence to move forward. I've asked them to communicate with Dylan directly and get moving on this. These items are ridiculously priced and Dylan should not be stalling on this. We absolutely need more evidence and clarification so everyone knows exactly what is 100% real or not. I let it be known that I will do everything possible to make sure this situation does not blow over. We will see if this approach gets us anywhere.

I have not heard anything from them, since emailing them were to send the Fedex Package.

No worries, I figured you may have had it but just left it off. I know I saw it elsewhere too including in Tom’s recent email.

Had no further contact or update from Castle Galleries since the phone call two weeks ago and the e-mail last Saturday so have now formally submitted a complaint and request for remedy / refund under the terms of the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015. In addition to the uncertainty and questions about the use of Autopen sinvce 2019, Í’ve also added the questions arising around the change in style, slant to the right etc in the complaint letter and covering e-mail. If or when I get any response will give an update.
