A Rolling Stones assignment. Is it real?

Awhile back I purchased a Rolling Stones newspaper. It was OKed by Roger Epperson before I purchased it. I didn't see, nor can I now see, there was any problems with it. I matted the paper and eventually offered it for sale on eBay where it was pulled by them.

I have since found out that this item sold on eBay in the past without a problem.

Yesterday, I received information from a member on this site who noticed this in a previous discussion and was informed by them that this is a known forgery style.

To also be fair, I have seen an email where Roger Epperson again(today) responded this set of signatures looks fine. Also, I have in my possession a ticket to the event on the same date as the newspaper, attendance wristbands for the event, and photo of the event site and inside during the concert.

I simply would appreciate to figure out if these signatures are, indeed, genuine or do they appear suspect. I both love and dislike a challenge and this is one to me. Appreciate any and all thoughtful responses.

Thank-you.

They look good to me too. Can we see an example of that forgery style? Is there one available?

That was not provided to me. Thus, the point of this discussion. I'm trying the best I can to come up with some solid answers. It's to a point that I need to get these authenticated by a TPA. Not something I usually do. I must assume that Roger would certainly authenticate it. Needless to say, I still want as many opinions as I can as to why this piece is "questionable" to the point of being removed from eBay.

I certainly would like to think that all the TPA's would authentic it and not be second guessing. I think the signatures look good but my opinion will not get me a cup of coffee! Not in this world anyway!!

Why hasn’t it been provided to you? If the member believes that it’s consistent with a forgery style, they should be able to send you an example of that forgery style.
