My KISS collection..... GOOD or BAD? Opinion please...

So, after reading so many theads of KISS here and realized that most items are fakes I would like to sort out good from bad in my collection, too. Please let me know what you are thinking. I knew for years tl be very careful in purchasing KISS autographs. I think I might could have some beauties...... cross my fingers. Oh and I´ve also brought from KissArmyWarehouse.... oh and some items are trades....

Oh, I´ve tried to no buy from sellers, that are known for fakes - no COA attached on ea of these, too. If you require better picture, just advice an I will post later...

Update - did found another item, a trick or treat soundtrack. Got that one from an bulgarian seller - I remeber he said he got the signatures in person back in the 80s. Actually I´ve never seen such an Gene signing before... could this be from the 80´s?

The Creatures LP looks authentic to me.  All signatures look like ones I've gotten in the past.

Here goes. .

During the 70's and the late 90's the original KISS was never together gzillions of times to ALL sign an album. Hell know! KISS only signed during M & G sessions or better yet, only signed together during the reunion years if it made them money ala KISS Worldwide Convention posters, or the Garland sculpture signing so many. All thise albums but maybe a few were no authentic..yes even the Creatures of the night one. During that time Ace did nit sign with the jaggedy richter line Frehley but instead he looped his Frehley. Anyways, I don't think this helps. *Word to the wise: Ebay is infested with fake KISS autographs.

coming back to the Crazy Nights Album! - just take a look to Bruce Kulicks signature. I know I have collected him some times by myself and his current signature does not look like that one on the Crazy Nights Album. BUT - I was able to catch up an very old Bruce Kulick sigature guitar pick - and now I´m more confused as that imprinted signature on the guitar pick does look very very similar to the one signature on the Crazy Nights Album - what do you think now?

Also going into Detail of the signatures - Erics signature is overlapping the signature from Gene and Bruce - means, Gene and Bruce did sign before Eric.... check also the attached Image:

Erics signed over Gene and Bruces signature:

Another add to this thread. I´ve got that Lick It Up lately to replace my fake Lick it Up. I´ve asked Roger Epperson for authenticity service on that one. This one is authentic as per Roger:

I was able to obtain that Beauty. So, heres the Lick It Up in full size! What do you think about that one?

That one is definitely not authentic.  Eric and Paul are way off.

Roger Epperson approved it...

sellers history of signatures from that Lick It Up Album above:

The Lick it up album was signed 12/29/83 during the lick it up tour when they played the Lakeland Civic Center in Florida . A friend of mine has been there tour bus driver since the 70's and still today drives there tour bus. ( One of the many they have ) As you might know there signatures have changed a little from todays at least Gene Simmons went from printing his name to a G-S scribble . Eric Carr was a very kind but shy guy that really could make you laugh , too bad he had to die at such a young age .Vinnie Vincent doesn't say much and was distant from the others . Gene as always was just wanting to talk to all the girls and Paul has such a big heart and a great personality .

I have to give a thumbs up on the Frehleys Comet & Creatures of The Night.  Reason To Live single with Eric Carr is the same style as the ebay guy on here that showed his items to Gene for "approval".
