<p>I just read this thread.</p>
<p>I am no expert in Queen but to examine a letter you have to double check the content and NOT just the handwriting. (In Germany we had such thing 30 years ago with the Hitler diaries where the hand was perfect but the paper age and content false). This is difficult to excuse for an authenticator imo.</p>

<p>It is good he admitted an error (surely he had to as the proofs were overwhealming) but whos opinon should one believe in the future? Personally I think it is nearly impossible to be an expert for all big names in music business and it would be better to concentrate on one band (as Frank Caiazzo does for Beatles) and not trying to be an expert from Abba to Zappa. That might be the reason for such errors.</p>
<p>This is a lesson we all have to learn - the market is getting more difficult each time. Pity for all who buy autographs and not getting them in person.</p>
