I have had some dealings with Billy from Walls of Fame.  Roger has said to me that anything from this person needs to really be looked at.  I had a Born in the USA album for 15 years on the wall framed and I sent it to Roger for his opinion and he came back with Not Good.  He even knew exactly were I got it from.  I emailed Billy and he said that he would give me a full refund no questions asked.  

Billy is a super nice guy... I am not sure what to think about all the Springsteen stuff coming from him, turning out as bad.  It is still actually not really sunk in I guess....

Look at how slow and contrived the salutation and inscription are done.  It looks forced to me.

Thanks Roger, for chipping in at this mystery. A lot of indications that its a forgery then, Roger not liking it, the COA from Walls of Fame, and the mystery how a person allegedly in Norway just ships to the US. 

I`ve asked the seller some questions on ebay, will be interesting to see what he answers.

here`s a few handwritten items from 75 to compare with.... IMO it looks very authentic. Anyway, I`m no expert in BS, just looking for the "truth" as everybody else:)

I WISH they were mine....every day!

Sadly they aren`t....

But they are great references to his early handwriting:)

Yes, they really are! Those must be a Bruce-fan and autograph-collectors big DREAM. 

Here we are talking about real big value too, at least the amount the seller of the Asbury Park-album we are discussing here wants for his item...

I`m really quite confused right now, but I would rather listen to Roger here, if he is negative about an autograph by Bruce, I wouldn`t touch it.

I have a friend who has 2 original set lists from the 1999 tour.. I am tying to get one of them from him. 

What value would you put on a set list - original (not a photo copy) in the hand of Bruce.????

thanks

Interesting Mark, thats a difficult one... Maybe you could get a couple of photos of it and post here? Of course someone with the insight should verify its real before you buy it...

Correct - you can get copies of his set lists pretty easy on the web... its looking at it and making sure its not a copy. I will keep you posted..  

I made an offer of $500 for it.. I am pretty sure that is on the low side.  yes?

I would guess so.. Are they all hand-written? Of course that would increase the value considerably. Think one have to see it to determine its value.

And of course find out if they are real from Bruce`s hand.

Bruce almost has as many variations to his autograph as Elvis.  I guess he is following in his idol's footsteps in that regard.
