Not an expert on the authenticity of the autograph but it looks ok to me.

I will say, however, that I queued for 4 hours at WH Smith's in Liverpool to get that particular tour signature and the signing was over in about 20 minutes. Never got to see the front door- so "about 75" is credible.

Thank you for your quick reply. It certainly can be challenging to get the autograph. Things need to "line up" just right. A lucky "few" get the chance to say hello, make a quick connection, and receive an autograph. All the best, Tom.

I think this is real. No concerns.

Tom, I just read below that the eBay seller who offered it is now offering it under a different eBay username—they say it's because they're being harassed by someone on eBay. You also said that the other autographs you bought from them were major TPA authenticated.

The likelihood of them using a new account because they're being harassed is LOW. You can block eBayers from viewing your account and listings, and you can also block them from contacting you unless it's about an existing transaction.

There's a good chance it failed send-in authentication or online opinions from BAS or PSA/DNA. As natural as it looks, it could be a copy of some sort. They are deceptively good ones these days.

Can you post links to the old and new accounts?

+1 that return thing turned me off totally.

I see they changed their username, they didn't open a new account. But there's no difference in suspicion.

They've sold 4,700 items on eBay—they want to start over with a new name that people have to learn all over?

And 30 days after they change it someone else can take their old name.

Steve, I asked seller about COA and seller replied "Autographs-rock don't you think".

Do you know what Autographs-rocks is? I also asked why his description saids iconographics for COA.

I did not get any replies.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. I see the ebay link was kindly shared. Thanks!

None of that is endearing. I would not go near.

Thanks Eric! I was sensing that vibe too from the seller reply.

They sold this one with no cert and just the Book Soup receipt. On the other hand, they sold an autopen signed Keith Richards “Life” book as signed in person.
