The placement is the real giveaway here. I did not want to jump the gun with that observation lest someone bark "Not so fast!" again.

This was closed by Ben but I asked to have it opened because people can learn from this. These were obviously printed - the buyer posted this for authenticity opinions. He says he plans to "sell it on"...as what, I don't know.

He paid some $47 but it is a $3 item. 

One take away is the value of a simple Google search. Another is the appearance of the item - even if you never saw this items before, and don't know cross-over and all, the uniform perfect appearance and spacing with the area left in the design to accommodate the facsimile signatures is a dead giveaway.

Also, the signatures look too "official". Their "street" autographs are much simpler in appearance, Agnetha rarely signs her last name, Frida's signature is just that, "Frida" and a heart, and Benny usually just draws lines between the B-Y and after the A....

Thanks so much for saying this. Really helpful, and I am getting a refund.
