To me they look good but wait for Innuendos opinion.

Not authentic in my opinion. 

Thank you both. I wasn’t worried about the form of the autographs as they look good. I was just worried about a silver sharpie. I’ve gone back to the chap and he has explained that it is silver paint pen. Which were available here in the uk in the 80s. 

Hi there. These are all not genuine, unfortunately. They are far from the worst ones I've seen, so I understand how it looks good to some but freddie and roger are the red flags. They're done by the same hand, and neither of them were done by members of the band. 

That Freddie is from a forger I've seen recently on Ebay. He really likes that silver marker. He's also pretty good at Brian, which is worrisome. Luckily, he still gets plenty wrong with all 4 of his signatures, regardless. Here's another example of his work

This time, the forger seems to be British.

Hey Innuendo, can I ask a question? that Brian May you posted is so darned convincing, although now youve pointed it as a fake I can start to see some issues, what gave it away in the first place? If I saw that 'Brian' by itself Im pretty certain I'd be fooled!

Without giving too much away, I can say the bottom of the B gets pulled down too far with this one and the curvature in the B is too spaced out in some parts and not enough in others. 

Thanks mate, yeah the more I look at it, the more some things seem off. Youve got an incredible eye though to pick it up straight away! 

Thanks for the kind words, TQ

Yes, this seller has sold me nothing but genuine items in the past, I’m very surprised

Gary, as long as these fakes aren't all from the same speller who then claims to have obtained them both in person (I have not seen the most recent Ebay listing for the example I provided or the items in the OP, so I'm not aware of what account is selling them or what the background story is)- don't sweat it. Nobodys perfect. Even the best have gotten duds before. 

Common forgery I’m afraid.
