Fake Fleetwood Mac autographs in the marketplace.

Fleetwood Mac is one the hardest bands to complete. Most long time autograph hounds have not even gotten Stevie Nicks and if they had it is likely personalized. She is for the most part impossible, especially these days.

I have been seeing these signed (fake) albums and various items for several years now. Every now and again on the bay but mostly on random auction sites. You will notice the same "Thank you" with the John McVie and the "Thanks" Christine McVie with the same hitch and the end of McVie in her signature that shouldn't exist. The forger has scary skills and if they had just stopped at one I might be fooled but I paid attention, noticed the patterns, and flushed them out. Buyer beware.

I also complied some real items. When looking for iconic bands like this you want the piece to be a mess. Different pens, thicknesses, sloppy as heck cause it took 20 years to finish ya know!! That's not necessary but it is something I would start with. If you have images of more complete, real completes please post them. They are very rare so I only found a few with all 5.

best of luck collection Mac.

You're correct. This one was sold by RR Auction in August, 2008, and included a COA from Roger Epperson/REAL.

Guys, check out how on all the fake Mac album the John Mcvie's are all level. Look at the real ones his signature tilts up towards the right... very telling.

The self-titled LP at top center belongs or belonged to AML member Ted Leong.

While I haven't spent much time on the signatures of Fleetwood Mac, it appears to me that N. Steiger may be on the right track. Here's one of the examples from the beginning of this discussion followed by one from the notorious Rock Star Gallery. Thoughts? Also, are there any known authentic exemplars in which the "S" in "Nicks" is consistent with those shown below?

For creator of these is really good at all of them but they just made too many and I sniffed them out.

Have you taken a look at the other ones being offered by Rock Star Gallery?

That looks very close to the ones in question, except that the formation of the "S" in "Nicks" is totally different. That's why I was asking about it.
