Bono - Real or fake - Urgently

Hello!
I have the chance to get a Bono Autograph. It was signed after the Belfast Show 2015. My question to the "experts": Real or fake?

Thank you for your fast help, I have to make a decision very soon...

As fake as they come.

Behaim,

If Jan Cogo, Bjarne and Rich all say it's not good, I think you can take that to the bank. Rich actively studies U2 and Bjarne has been an in-person collector in Europe for many years.

Bono signs wacky ones every once in a while, but I'm not seeing this as authentic any way I look at it. Even the sketch looks too slowly drawn.

Thank you so much for preventing me of bidding in the online-auction for the sketch drawing!

This one would come with a letter of authenticity... what do you think about the authenticity and the seller?

I looked at the sellers music autographs and it looks like a mixed bag. Some good but also some horrible forgeries.
So I would pass on the Bono sketch.

I'd pass, too.

We should rename this discussion Bono oh no!

The next one: Comes with a COA from HTC memorabilia:

What do you think?

That's Fake

Clearly done by the same hand for all 4 and they are nothing like what they should be

That's another no way on that one!

That's about as bad as it can possibly get. As SPB1988 said, the same person signed all four signatures, and none are anywhere close.

Hello again Behaim!

Here´s two links to a couple of great in-person collectors, and the 100% authentic U2 graphs that they have:

1. Xavier from France, always great doing business with:

2. Roland from Germany, fantastic seller. I bought my Bono sketch (and many other autographs) from him:

Maybe you can find something you like there!

Good luck!
