Here is his typical block letter autograph.

He would also mix script and block. The same applies to his handwriting, although most handwriting is block style.

This was authenticated by Roger. I let him know it was June Bolan's autograph

I've listed a nice assortment of authentic examples. Which one in your opinion resembles the ACOA one? Question open to anyone. Here's a clue: non of them.

From what is shown I would agree. However, this sample is too small IMO. Bowie, not Bolan, is my strong suit to be sure.

I sent the ACOA example to Danielz who is the lead singer of the t.rex tribute band t.rextasy. He is good friends with Marc's brother and Gloria Jones. He also played with Mickey Finn. He had access to the items in Marc's estate. He has a huge collection of t.rex memorabilia bought directly from Marc's estate. This was his answer.

I would love to see the examples they used to authenticate it.

The point i meant to get across, but didn't, was that it was a very poor fake. It's a novice mistake imo. Anyone can make mistakes, but this is terrible.

I "have" to say these are not the most reputable sources for autograph identification? See what others think.

Hmm

The reason why no one can show me examples that prove that the ACOA one is authentic, is there aren't any. I've shown you what a marc Bolan autograph should look like. Show me examples similar to the ACOA. I'm in for a long wait.
