In regards to autograph what jumps out at you to make you think it's not genuine. I was told these autographs where taken back stage during some shows at the Spectrum a few years ago.

If it was signed backstage, it'd be unlikely that they'd use 5+ different pens. That's a common lazy forger smokescreen - they think mixing up the pen type lends to the appearance of authenticity.

That aside, this doesn't even look close to me.

Don't know a lot about the Boss, but it looks like 'Same Hand Stan' signed this one - meaning it looks like one person signed them all.

Upsetting, I was excited when I received it, now, down in flames. I appreciate everyone's input.

It doesn't look horrible to me. I have some doubts about it, though. I've studied the Boss, as it's my girlfriends favorite. I don't like the Bruce, though. He's an easy one to forge if you go this "messy" signature route.

I'd like somebody to tell me how easy it is to forge backstage, sticker passes, like the ones shown. Because..it's easy for people to use photos of the band signing, and make multiple forgeries. But...to have the backstage passes really does add a bit to it all. It certainly helps.

And yes, the multiple pens is sometimes a smoke screen, but I've been backstage at hundreds of concerts, and a lot of times, they have their own pens, etc. So, you can't use that as the deal breaker here.

Is it possible that the signatures could be real? The person I got pic from said they use to work for MTV production and the autographs were obtain back stage a few years ago and the backstage passes were provided

In my opinion this picture is as real as a 3 dollar bill.

What makes you come to that conclusion?

And I still think it's signed by one person, and it sure isn't Bruce.

Just to add, anyone can buy a backstage pass on eBay for a few bucks to bundle with a garbage signed photo to make it seem better than it actually is.
