QUEEN FAKER CAUGHT OUT BY HIS OWN COA

Take a look at this Queen signature ive just spotted on e bay the guy does a decent Freddie Mercury signature and then spoils it with the distinct circles above the i,s to make it worse he then despite filling out the coa in capital letters to hide his own handwriting cant resist the same circles above the i

must try harder next time

Excellent. I too once caught a seller with this own hand on the shipping label.

Lol thats exactly why the head of the Queen fan club is suspected to have signed so many secreterials. She also signed the COAs. Compare and it's easy to see. Good news is, this Freddie isn't a very good attempt anyway. Better than the Fan Club fakes, but not passable either.

Have a look at this photo if you need a laugh. Out of all the Queen fakes I've seen over the last 30+ years, this one was by far the most hilarious. It's an obvious fake- a copy of a copy of a copy-traced over the "merch signature". A widely used signature for merchandise and promo items, but literally almost never seen used by Freddie as an autograph outside of that- but here's the kicker....there are practice fakes behind the fake. It's been over a year since this one was brought to my attention, and it still cracks me up. Nothing worse (or funnier) than a sloppy forger.
