I make no claim, so I have nothing to show. He who makes a claim is under the burden of proof.

The one who "made the claim" was "Mick Jones", who started this post.
I stand by the signatures being 100% authentic, and welcome anyone with information they consider contrary.

I have never believed you have to be in from of the signer to know if a piece is authentic. YMMV.

From a statistical point of view if you saw 1000 signings of an autograph you know all 1000 are accurate and real and there is ALWAYS a risk of error if not seeing it for your very own self

I disagree, One can know.

Eric, you are correct. If being in front of someone were required for authentication, 95% of PSA and JSA items would be null and void. The most important thing, before looking at any signature, is to know the source, or provenance of an item. There are indeed many, many, forgeries on the web (especially eBay), some extremely clever, even to the trained eye. There are also some clever stories out there... But in my experience, knowing who you are buying from is just as important, if not more important, than what you are buying.

That makes no sense if you think about it. It implies that a "trusted source" can't be wrong or make a mistake. Lot's of experienced sellers make honest mistakes. This is why websites like this exist - to provide second, critical and objective opinions on accuracy/authenticity.

I have just read the so called provenance which made me laugh, - especially the Waterstones part

Provenance. Suppose you bought Bowie in 2019 directly from Andy Peters who got it "from a record executive?" Provenance disappears in two years and you are left holding a forgery no one will want. Sources, experts and TPG's can sour, good material does not.
