I think that looks good! Quick in person signature.

Sorry John, but I would stay as far away as possible from this one!

This seller (JSBS4) have sold at least one Springsteen (often more) per week for many months and maybe years on aacsautographs.com, a place wellknown for selling tons if fakes!

The seller seems to have an endless supply of Springsteen autographs, and he/she uses the same 3-4 different proof-photos of Springsteen signing over and over again. Here's a link to a Springsteen autograph sold two weeks ago with the same proof-photo: http://auction.aacsautographs.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&...

If you browse the catalog on AACS for recently closed musicautographs you'll see that the autograph you ask about is the fourth Springsteen this seller have offered the last month...

I'm no expert on Springsteen autographs, but based on what I know about this seller and AACS, I would never buy this one!

Take care!

I see what you are saying about the Bruce graphs.  But looking through some of the others he sells on AACS, they seem ok, RASCALS, Spoonful, etc.  Very strange place indeed.

You guys are prob right about Bruce and the AACS website leaves a lot to be desired, but this seller JSB$4 has def got some real autographs.  Here are 2 he is currently selling.  I have gotten these people in person, and they sure look good to me.  So maybe , he is milking Bruce, but he does have some legit stuff.  Very confusing for the collector.

I am not so sure about that. took a look at most all of his signed LPs and the majority look very bad to me. Talking Heads, Bruce, Elton, Willie Nelson (no kidding), The Band. All early ebay days type forgeries...D

I do not know this seller and am not sticking up for him in anyway, but I have sent scans of his stuff in the past on The Band, The Doors, 3 Dog Night, and others and have received positive feedback.  Also last week he had a Tom Jones and a Percy Sledge in addition to the two albums I have shown here that looked spot on.  My question is how can he be so adept at forging all these different people?  Also, I believe he is a NYC collector just from the way the auctions go.  When people are in town, he seems to get them, such as when the The Rascals played Broadway.  This of course has nothing to do with the original Bruce question, just something to consider.  I really have no clue how their auctions work but  AACS appears to sell items from different sellers, many of whom are fakes.  I just thought this one was an OK seller.

Not good in my opinion and the "t" reminds me of a "m" in a Michael Jackson autograph !
