Elvis and Beatles - real or fakes??

Hello!

A seller have offered me these autographs. The story is that he has decided to sell all autographs that he has collected over 40 years. He has A LOT of top names so it seems to good to be true...

But I thought I could at least ask you guys (and girls) what you think!

Good or bad??

Thanks!

Thanks everyone for helping!

I have mailed the seller and told him that these are fakes. I guess he already knew this and I´m not ecpecting to get any answer either. But if I do, I´ll let you know what he says...

These are real bad. I hope that the seller is not too rude to you.

As soon as I saw the ad I suspected that something were wrong with this seller and when he offered me the complete set of Beatles + Elvis + Neil Armstrong for $900 I knew... :-)

But I still wanted to list them here to get your confirmation and to hear what you have to say! Thanks again everyone for helping me with this "forger"!

There is still no answer from the seller, and I guess it never will be.

He has not (to my knowledge) posted these on eBay. I found these on a swedish site called Blocket, there he claims to be an older man who now have decided to sell hes collection since 40 years. Here´s a link to the ad: http://www.blocket.se/vi/45462326.htm

Here´s the google translate for you guys:

"Have decided to sell my autograph collection that I have actively worked with for about 40 years.
I can not write all the names here, but there are about 2000 different autographs.
Has mostly gathered in the genre film, music and sport. But I also have a lot of other topics. Many superstars in the collection. Some that are worth mentioning here are the Beatles, Elvis, Neil Armstrong, Joe Dimaggio, Barack Obama, Marilyn Monroe, Alfred Hitchcock, Tiger Woods, Muhammad Ali, Pele, Maradona, Messi, Ronaldo, Bill Clinton, Madonna.

Most contemporary written in photographs. The older, the majority are written on paper."

I have reported him to Blocket, but they usually are pretty lame when it comes to this kind of fraud...

He got kicked out from the swedish site Blocket, but now he´s making a comeback on the norwegian site finn.no:

The same paper and pen as his Sinatra, Elvis and Beatles! What a scumbag! I´ll try to get him kicked out from there too...

Wow, these are really bad forgeries.. And exactly the same paper on the ones on top here, as the one at finn.no.

Good Don, hope he get kicked from finn, we got the other scumbag kicked from finn and qxl. (Hardyboy) We must have cleaned 90% of the Scandinavian internet-marked by now? :-) But just be sure, they will try again, but we shall keep our eyes open.
