Sorry the autograph is not authentic. 

I suspected as much. Lesson learned.

Thanks for the help.

Not real unfortunately. Sorry.

Thanks.

Time for a refund.

Nigel,

I agree with J. Seah, but we may be able to help you get your money back. Where did you buy it and when? Could you post the COA please?

Thanks Steve,

I bought it from a charity auction for $2500.00, in Adelaide, South Australia on the 17th October, 2015.  The seller was/is Helping Hand Group.  The item has their COA on it (attached).  They have told me it was signed by BB King in San Francisco on August 19, 2014 but can't provide me with any proof.

I have attached  pic of the COA for what it's worth.

Please let me know if you have problems getting your money back. If you haven't contacted the charity who held the auction, that is a good place to start.

    Here is one of my paintings that I got Signed in-person by BB King. The painting is long gone but I found a photo of it.

Very nice

Thank you Buddy

I am buying a Gibson hollowbody with BB Kings signature on it. Doesn't come with certification so I was hopeing someone could verify it before I go get it certified. Thanks!

It looks good to me. It's not as free-flowing as he usually signed, but I think it's A-OK.
