Hi Kevin,

I dont get to say this that often with GNR items it seems, but i think both look good. The Slash looks spot on to his 2012 signature, and the Axl also looks good. And its fairly rare to get Axl to sign his full name anymore. Axl has changed the formation of his first name since the eighties/nineties a little bit, but when he does sign his last name, its much easier for me to tell if its good b/c he really hasnt changed it much. This looks like a recent signatures style of his to me. I always look for a specific shape and flow of the R in Rose as the first giveaway that i rarely see done right in forgeries, and this one looks good. 

I definetly would wait for more experienced opinions, but i think both are good. One thing you might want to do is ask the seller when and where he got each one. You probably already know, but Axl will not sign anything that has Slash already on it. So if he says he got Slash first, then you will know something is up. They look like they were signed in the same marker which is a little unusual to me b/c they probably were not signed the same day. But, that is really knitpicking and i think that the item is still good.

Roger will know for sure, but i like them

Carl

Thanks!

I already purchased the item because I was already 100% with the Slash signature and I compared the Axl with others and it was extremely similar with known authentics. I took an experienced shot in the dark, but I feel it was worth it.

I sent it to Psa/DNA quick opinion and awaiting the results. I will probably send a picture to Roger as well!

Thanks again Carl!

The guy says he met Axl in 2011 and then Slash in 2012(I did not ask in regards of hinting towards which one you must get first).

He then also showed me some pictures with Axl with the exact item in his hand and then also showed Axl signing it so I am 99.9% confident it is legit.

Anybody think otherwise?

I think this is authentic, Kevin - although it is a CD cover & not an LP (don't want you buying it under false pretenses). I have gotten Slash & Axl several times in person, and boh of these look spot on to me. I would feel confident buying this item. Hope this helps!

Awesome thanks! And yeah I know it's a cd cover haha. Don't know why I thought it was an LP at first as the sigs are huge for an LP. I already purchased it. Got a really good deal on it for 200 bucks. Feel that's a good a price for an Axl and slash signed piece. Gonna get it professionally framed and hang it in my office :). Very excited for it!

Thanks all!

Any other opinions?
