7 Claptons which is real?

Hi all, I have obtained 7 Eric Clapton autographs through the years and obviously some are not real. I feel good about 1 of these because of the dealer, the rest highly questionable. I obviously need some help, so thanks for looking and value your input. Mark

It'll be interesting to get more opinions. I didn't think any of them were Clapton.

Here is a laser printed photo and printed autograph that Clapton's office management sent out, I got 3 or 4 of these.. I would think that they would have had Clapton sign  1 real one to be duplicated (perhaps in the thousands) and not duplicate a secretarial... but I can't assume that.. so is this an authentic example?

Yes, I'm sure that's Clapton's autograph. The photo looks too good to be laser printed, tho.

yes they do look good, but the tip off was the autographs were exactly positioned the same - ex the bottom of the E runs off all the photos

Mark, sorry...I'm sure they're preprints. You said they were laser printed, which generally look pretty bad. This looks like a lab print or inkjet. I was curious.

As far as I know this is a preprint of a genuine Clapton autograph.
