ABBA vinyl album Voulez-Vous: genuine autographs?

I'm an amateur / hobby collector of autographs and found this signed ABBA album in the internet.

As I said I'm an amateur. I tried to compare the autographs with others that I found in the internet and they look quite similar in my opinion.

It's striking how some of the signatures look fresh though. On the other hand you can definitely see signs of age. So I'm 50/50 about this....

Would appreciate to hear some more opinions on this. Thanks.

I have another one. It is offered on Ebay. The seller claims he collected the signatures from Benny, Björn and Anni-Frid personally on some occasions in Germany and Agentha's by sending her the card. Would appreciate to hear your oppinion on that one.

No to this as well. A decent forgery or at best a mix of real signatures and obvious fakes - Björn in particular.

I'm also always suspicious of IP autographs where the placement is TOO perfect. Like this one.

Wow, that was a fast reply...thank you a lot. A bit disappointing to hear your assessment though.

The story sounded not bad and the seller offers plenty of autographs (https://www.ebay.de/str/unikate2017?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=...)

But I better keep searching than risking to buy a forgery.

All signatures look off to me so they are probably fake.

Don't know when this was supposed to be signed but I don't think I have seen the girls sign with their last names since ABBA made it big.

It looks like "street" autographs and Frida's street autograph is just that, "Frida" with a heart - I got one just like that in the 1990s. Never "Anni-Frid Lyngstad", a name she has not used at least since her third marriage in 1992. Her official name is since then (Princess) Anni-Frid Reuss (of Plauen) so if anything she would sign "Anni-Frid Reuss".
