Grant, am afraid these are forgeries as well. I have been studying Led Zeppelin autographs for years and have a few sets myself. I am in the middle of making a Led Zeppelin autograph website to help educate collectors/fans etc.

The signatures on the lp look nothing like authentic examples. eBay is usually full of forgeries. I have contacted eBay a few times to tell them but sadly they don't listen.

I have to agree with Greig that the autographs do not look real. I also have been collecting Led Zeppelin memorabilia for years. Whenever, I have questions I email my friend Rick Barrett. He's always happy to help me out. In my profile are all legit examples of Zeppelin related autographs. I still need Bonzo's. I even have two of Peter Grant's . Go figure. 8>)

Uhhh...I believe Rick Barett sold about 200 autographed Led Zep albums. Not sure how that's physically (graffiti) possible.

Rick Barrett is a class act! I have dealt with him on a few items in the past.

Stephen: I was going to buy from Barrett when I was a teenager, but guess what?

The signed Zep II album he had, for $700 -- he wouldn't tell me HOW it was acquired. He said he doesn't want to "lose his contact." That made little sense to me, as Bonham was already dead -- so what was the deal. And I was surprised that each month -- he had a new Zep album for sale. Where did all these signed records come from?

Sure, they look authentic, but I'd have our buddy Roger Epperson look at them.

(I did buy lots of other Zep things from RB, though...including a cool blimp)
