This is David Bowie in April 1995 signed for the Chertavian Gallery.
This is...not:

Are you serious? So, because the David Bowie signature on the program does not look like the one you provided, it's fake? It is doubtful that David Bowie ever signed the same way twice, so give me a break with that! Then there's the fact that they are signed with different ink pens, on different surfaces. Secondly, the program contains an inscription which matches David Bowie's handwriting perfectly (and yes, I found the same inscription in the exact handwriting). Not to mention there are 6 or 7 other signatures on the program which someone would have to "fake" (and why?). The Bowie signature has style, flow, spontaneity, and conviction. IT IS HIS SIGNATURE!!! If you choose to deny this, you are lying to yourself. Because everything about this piece says AUTHENTIC!

Keep posting all the Bowie signatures you like. This program was signed in a very relaxed setting, which is why it has the multiple signatures (all very legible, not rushed or scribbled). Most of what David Bowie signed was rushed, which are like the examples you are posting, this one was not.

It is not Bowie's hand. Nor is that Sinatra's, ABBA's, Waters, Welles etc.

Is the Orson Welles I provided fake? You know it's not! And it is spot on with the signed program. Now, go ahead and explain how someone wrote Orson Welles signature (all in one stroke, without stopping) to match a known example from the same time period perfectly. Go ahead Eric, we will be waiting.

I'll just post mine instead. I am not giving pointers as has been suggested earlier...

Ah, what you mean is, you can't address the issue! So you post something completely irrelevant. Nice work!

As I said earlier, I will not change the subject for the reasons stated.

This guy is such a moron, but I'll say one thing. He says his prices are cheaper because UK and US is inflated and yadda yadda yadda. Okay, so....let's say a signed Pink Floyd album sells here in the inflated US, for $15,000. So...does that mean he'd have no problem listing an authentic Floyd signed album, for $500, as to not "inflate" the market in the UK (inflating it like a flying pig). Why not just take the inflated price, and let a US auction house sell it, and get more bang for your buck? Well....we all know the answer to that one. No auction house would take bogus stuff.

I agree, signatures can be done in different styles. But authenticators are good at determining that.
Also, since you sell a lot of items -- it's probably in your best interest to prove your side. So, take one of these autographs that people here are claiming are fake. And, pay for an authenticator WE deem to be the best in the business (perhaps Roger Epperson). And, if he says it's good -- you win the debate. You can tell all of us to pound sand. BUT...we're not saying you get to pick ANY autograph in your collection. Pick one of the ones these folks are saying is fake. It is in your best interest to do it. And hell, if you don't want to spend the money for the opinion, I'm sure somebody on this website would make this offer -- if it's deemed to be authentic, they're reimburse you for the money you spent having it authenticated.
Deal?
