A few things concern me, but one of the more prominent concerns to me is the N of Prince. On most genuine ones I've seen, the first hump of the N is shorter than the second bump and leans left a touch. The first hump is taller and leans more to the right on the one Nicolas posted.

Paul, it could be good. I don't know. That's where having years of experience really counts.

You definitely know your stuff in a lot of areas.

Ebay seller Phoozball writes "I likely have the most comprehensive collection from Prince on Ebay."

These people who sell obvious forgeries after a celebrity, athlete or musician have passed away, have absolutely no conscience.

Paul B,

Your Prince could bring as much as $2,000 or more, assuming it's genuine, which it looks like to me. It depends on how big, bold and attractive it is. And it will likely bring more authenticated by PSA/DNA, JSA or REAL. You can try without it first, though.
