You know, im not really sure on this one. one thing i always look for is, do the sigs look like they all are from the same hand. And honestly they dont appear to be, and the sigs arent put in just the right places, and some are much larger and sloppier than others, which points me in the direction that they might be good. The bad thing is that their sigs are easy to fake, especially early signatures. I have several items from them and their sigs changed quite a bit, at least some of the members, since their early days. So if you can find out when it was signed you can get a much more accurate opinion. My issue is particularly with Micks signature. It really doesnt resemble his current sig or his old sig really. It isnt as tight and the angle doesnt seem right. The James Root sig bothers me too, but it  could be good.  I think the key here is to find out when it was signed. If it was very early in their career, it very well could be real.

I got it around 2000 when their first album came out so it is an old poster.  It came up for sale shortly after their 2nd appearance in the UK when they did Brixton Academy and a Virgin megastore signing. 

The main problem I have is it doesn't compare well with this set that was obtained at the TGI Friday TV show in the UK in March 2000 [the same year] :

2000, yeah i think your right then. I have seen one or two sigs from James before he was that well known where the sig was done with more of a block letter type feel. But around 2000 he was signing like the example you posted above. So i would say fake on the first one. The Thompson looks more classic as well.
