Roger Epperson´s Authentication Ltd. (REAL): www.RogerEpperson.com

I would ask for a Quick Opinion.  If it is OK, then order a LOA.

Or you can post a picture of the album here and get an opinion from the members here on the forum.

If we think it's real, then it would be a ood idea to get a full LOA from Roger.

I hope your album is authentic. Let´s see what the members of the forum say. 

Some Metallica from my collection so you can compare:

Congratulations to a nice find! In my opinion it is genuine. And I guess it's your brother-in-law that is in the picture with James?

Are you keeping the album or are you looking to sell it?

It is also VERY important to know the condition of the cover.

It also looked fine to me, but Mike´s experience is a million times better. So it seems the signatures are OK! Good news. But before establishing a price it is important to clearly establish the LP cover condition. I noticed some bending on the left corner. Anything else?

Good move. Steve Grad is the number one authority on Metallica. They've been his passion for almost 30 years and no one knows them better.

Grad is to Metallica like Frank Caiazzo is to Beatles autographs.

Really

Mike, you're mistaken. Steve Grad met Metallica for the first time in 1991, and they signed for him then. And when Roger needs a second opinion on Metallica autographs, he asks Steve Grad.

If Steve was the one who authenticated the preprinted Springsteen for PSA, I'd be especially disappointed. But that wouldn't affect my placement of Steve Grad as the top Metallica autograph expert in the world. He's well known and respected as such.

I knew PSA graded autographs, trading cards and even photos. Do they also do that with other items?

Sorry you lost him. My condolences to all.

If any one cares, I like the fact that there is a case of Budweiser in one of the photos and people are standing around with Buds in their hands and there are Buds on Metallica table as well to keep the band well sauced while they sign.
Very retro.
