Two Springsteen / E. Street Band Signed Photos

One sold at RR Auction for 3 grand. The other was obtained from Billy Smith (former founder of The Asbury Park Rock Museum and often discussed on this site. Can anyone spot the differences? Tough one -- for the experts only!!

I would say the portrait shot is from Billy and the landscape shot is from RR Auction!

I would not begin to know which one is which. I was fooled by Billy Smith for 9 years on my Born In The USA Album. This is one for Roger to chime in on. It would be nice to know what the difference is in the two - but then again so would the person who actually signed it

Obviously, one is a forgery. I have no clue which one. it will be very interesting to find out what the tipoff is. To my untrained eye they look almost exactly the same.

So, which one is the forgery? And how do you tell?

The second one (Boss-1.jpg) comes with a Billy Smith (Walls of Fame) COA. They look pretty damn close to me -- with some subtle differences. I'd love for Mr. Epperson to chime in to educate us on those differences.
