Bono signed photo - Real or Fake?

Seller claims to have got it signed while Bono was in town, has some "proof" but that's easy to fake. I looked at some examples online and it seems to have some Bono-esque characteristics. It also looks like his autograph is all over the place and changing, but I'm no Bono expert. Wondering what your opinion is on the autograph:

A few of us talked about this one on the Eastlink forum. The conclusion is somewhere between maybe/probably. Not an especially good example anyway, but it looks to be pretty typical for what Ebay rackers get. Personally, I wouldn't highly recommend buying an example like this, even if the source is impeccable.

Thanks Rich! Could you tell me about how much Bono signed pictures go for? Also, would you mind giving me the link to the Eastlink forum? Thanks!

I don't have Facebook access right at the moment, but I'll send you the link later. You might just be able to find it via search - U2 Autographs by Eastlink or something like that. It's primarily a froum for posting authentic fan obtained (or other authentic examples), though you can make inquiries on authenticity. There are some very knowledgable longtime fans on there.

An authentic signed Bono photo could sell for anywhere when $75 - $150 or so. Unless the seller has something especially nice or unique, anything north of $200 is generally wrong. Most of the Ebay prices for authentic items are just silly, especially considering what crappy examples they are. Just my opinion.
