It is very nice to see you here Corey. We saw something like this with The Eagles as I recall.

"The hundreds of recent fresh ink exemplars that have flooded the market: - Didn't Perry Cox say he wasn't taking new material since the Ringo thing?

This thing I posted unfortunately has another set of papers. It is being sold by that seller in Canada who specializes in incorrectly authenticated material.

Thanks for your valuable opinions! I feared that that would be the case.

Hi Fabian, I've seen a lot of this lately, and I feel bad every time.

I think we can all appreciate the disappointment.   There's seems to be a lot of ongoing disappointment in the Bowie collecting community in recent times.   I have an acquaintance also who has one similar to this one.

Do you have a Bowie Eddy? I thought you mentioned one.

What do you make of this, Eric?

I believe that is authentic. Typical 1983. Numerals look great too.

Rats! I thought it looked good as well and it's a nicely unusual item but I didn't chase and it went for a reasonable price, I thought.

Well, it wasn't an outright steal. 1983 is by far the most common of his signatures due to the 1983 World Tour "Serious Moonlight". And folks want LP's and SP's. I would estimate that signature on that Playbill to be some $600-$700. Double your money - not enough for me. It is very hard to value Bowie these days thanks to Mr. Ford. Some people are still believing "Peters" papers.

I had one.  It travelled back to the UK in a trade I made toward some other material that's more within my focus.  I believe it was subsequently listed on offer through them.
