I dont know who is offering all of these, but they seem to have a never ending supply. My knowledge on her is limited, but from everyone that i have ever heard from, she is a very tough autograph to get. And if you get one your lucky. So when i see a seller listing items month after month from her, i get extremely suspicious.

One thing that i have found while studying Madonna, is that her signature is typically varied quite a bit, just like anyones i guess. When looking at the examples Roger posted, none of them look like carbon copies of one another, using that term fairly loosely. The observation being what i typically see when i look at her signatures. Shes often sloppy in my opinion, and full readable autographs arent near as common as the sloppy ones in my opinion.

When i look at the sellers items above, however, a great number of them look like they are almost carbon copies of one another. Paying a particular interest to the bottom 5 or 6. You can largely read most of the signature, and they are very very consistent between each other. Thats something i dont see in Madonna autographs often at all, even when doubles are gotten on the same occasion. They look similar, but not as similar as some of these. The sellers items are also signed at pretty sharp angles going from left to right. But that in of itself isnt that great of an indication in my opinion, b/c alot of Madonna autographs are signed that way. And you can see that in the examples Roger posted.

She is so sloppy in authentic form, that i cant comment on the authenticity. But i find the above things very suspicious. This amount of Madonna's in that little of time, followed by the very very consistent signatures is not the norm, at least from what im used to seeing. Lately her autographs that i have seen have even gotten worse. They could have been signed when she was sitting down or something, but i would have reservations on these if i was buying in an auction setting. This would be when i would typically recommend Roger or PSA.
