Although I’m no expert I have a few AIC autographs that are all genuine. I have mixed feelings about this one. I would say Mike’s signature is 100% real. It really hasn’t changed at all over the years. Looks as tho he added 93 in there which is consistent with his autograph and would match the year of the photo. It’s also in a different colored pen than the other 3. I like Sean’s too. Again his has always been pretty much the same. The J and C in Jerry’s sig are perfectly consistent with his other sigs of this period. I don’t like the rest of the Cantrell tho but that’s not to say that it isn’t genuine. The Layne I think is real. There are a few examples of his out there from ‘93 that are very clean. Over the few short years that he was signing his signature changed quite a bit with loopy Ys and tapering Es. The lack of a prolific N is consistent along with the separate L so the indications are there that it is indeed genuine.
Is this on eBay? Check the seller and make sure they haven’t sold similar items. This, if real, and in my opinion it is, is rare and definitely worth owning

If a buyers patient enough you can find a aic set right down to where and when it was signed and perhaps sometimes with photo's because the band did plenty of sign in promotions back in the 90s.
