Can someone provide their opinion on the Pink Floyd signatures?

Last week I purchased a Pink Floyd autographed guitar from 'The Art of Music' store in Las Vegas. Can someone provide their opinion on the authenticity of the signatures?

Your best bet is to just pay Roger Epperson $15 for his online opinion and if he fails it send his opinion to the seller for the proof you need to get your refund.

You can go to his web site and accomplish this. He is widely known as an expert on music autographs.

Hi Sal,

I apologize for not seeing this until now. Creating a mock ebay auction is pretty simple. Basically just create an ebay listing for the item, but set the buy it now at a ridiculous price, like 50,000 dollars. So you know that no one will bid on it. Once you make the auction, then just submit it to PSA quick opinion, and the next day you should have your answer. I would just take a screen cap of both the ebay auction you set up, and the PSA quick opinion result. You should be just fine with Epperson as far as a full refund with your credit card. But the PSA QO may help in the long run if needed.

Good luck and keep us updated

Carl

I was in this same store 3 weeks ago, and was interested in the 'Grease" piece they had on the wall. I asked the girl if I could take a photo of the piece to authenticate the signatures. She said no. She said people forge off the photos. Their policy is to not allow photos. That is their scam. No photos. I laughed and asked why this theory doesnt apply to online stuff they sell. She couldnt answer.

I told her I wanted Roger E. to do a quick opinion, and if the piece was real, I would buy it. She said they have their own "authenticators." I asked who, she said she would email me the information. Then she proceeded to tell me the hotel wouldnt allow them to operate inside if they were sellling fakes....blah blah blah. I then asked her if the hotel endorsed them. She got nervous, and wouldn't really answer. Anyway, I never received the email.

Out of curiosity, I went into every collector store in Vegas, and have never seen more fakes in my life. I used Jimmy Page's signature as a reference, and every one was fake. They, in fact, were terrible! I am sad to say I trust nobody selling autographs. They are all fakes in my opinion. And all autheticators beat up on each other. Sad industry!

I have done the same thing every time I go to vegas, there is one sports store that at least had a lot of authentic stuff (cant remember who, where) but other than that its the U.S. capitol of forgeries! Really shameful.
