Florence Welch signature has turned to mush compared to what it used to be.

Those PSA ones are actually from 2012 if I remember correctly. Some of what I've seen from this year are actually worse.

Those were originally sitting on Ebay for a while from an in-person collector who, as I recall, seemed legit. PSA likely "authenticated" it based on the source.

Regardless, the examples are poor and the price is too high.

The signed rcopy of "A Lot of Love" is a gem, a top rate item from when she was still doing preshow meet & greets and signing beautifully.

An ip grapher could easily forge the florence sig, unless they had a video camera it shouldn't have passed in my opinion. There isn't enough ink to render a pass.
Someone told me about the lp and i bought it, cant remember who. Its inscibed really nice.

Ha - I seriously thought about it, but I'm a bit overloaded on Florences. ;)

The Florence's I've seen passed by PSA have all been poor examples, unfortunately. The best place to get Florence Welch autographs are generally NOT IP collectors, as they tend to have no shot at getting a decent signature. The best sources are fans selling their old signatures from 2008 - 2010 or signed items from her merch store or legitimate charity auctions (she still often signs beautifully for charity). Pros very, very rarely have anything good to offer.

Well, this is from last month. Curious how they pulled it off (was this a VIP bonus of some sort?), but this is authentic and recent. I've noticed that sometimes she'll sign higher quality items (i.e. things that aren't lazy collector items like photos, pick guards, etc) more nicely. This is kind of similar to the way she was signing IP in 2011 before her signature took a nosedive.

Seems like just Girl With One Eye . . . oddly, I haven't played it yet, as I bought it more as collectible. I guess I should give it a listen, as that version was from about a year before Lungs was released.
