Bowie Autograph Question

Hi, just stumbled upon this site as I was looking to buy a signed Bowie LP for a friend. Not sure if this is the right place to ask, so I apologize if it isn't!

I found an LP signed in the UK on eBay, and the guy took the listing down once I expressed interest and is willing to sell directly to me rather than let people finish bidding.

I've attached a picture of the LP. I apologize in advance for the small size of the image. If anyone could give me their impression as to whether this is a real signature or not, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Here's a link to the image, as well:

Thanks!

Don't touch it! That is a fake!

Thanks! I had figured it was as it seemed quite a lot different from other signings I had seen. Good to know my gut was right!

Or these two? (I promise these are the last I ask about!)

The Space Oddity back cover stands a chance, but the rest are no good. I would leave all alone!

Welcome, I would urge caution with David Bowie autographs. Most Ive seen even before his death were forgeries!

None of those look good.

Reasons to buy now - a ton of material, fresh obscure stuff too.

Reason not to buy now - most prices will not reflect reality but emotion. With few exceptions (true candids, negatives), you'll see "it" again.

I am amazed at what I am seeing on eBay. This should back down a bit but supply of the authentic will never meet demand.

Eric, you really shouldn't be amazed- this happens with every passing of a major artist, lol.

It was a figure of speech Terry. I was actually talking about certain ticket stubs, and those are only ask prices.
