Thoughts on this one? Also signed by Carlos Alomar and Brian Eno...

It looks kind of what I'd expect but it's all very perfect. Everything in the perfect area with carefully signed signatures. I don't know what to expect from the other 2 but on the face of it it doesn't look real to me

Agree. Again, angle, so neat, and the "B" is a bit strange at the start - the first 25%. The date apostrophe seems unusual in attack. It all seems slightly contrived, exaggerated, maybe a bit crowded spatially. It's a bit unusual to me for the last stroke, before numerals and dashes, to go in quite so deep to the left as to make contact with the "B" before heading right and one might expect a different tip on this stroke. I've seen this deep left strok a little, but mid 90's. Eno not recent at least from what I see and perhaps problematic, I don't know - same for Alomar. I'd look for another example on these grounds. Wonder what others think?

Hi Thomas,

There was a slew of this photo signed this way on eBay after his death. I am seeing the sig style now more, forged, on many photos. Not for me. There is likely a reason it is "Buy It Now" for only $130 and it just sits there....it does match nicely with the other one has has though...

This is a little suspicious. Another Bowie from the same seller (Crowdedhouse1970) signed with similar silver ink in a similar position. I like how the date is inscribed but I certainly wouldn't have said this was Bowie's signing style in 1984. The signature looks a lot later. What do you think Eric?
