Frank Sinatra -Opinions needed please-real or not

I would love to buy this signature but the seller wants £500....A lot of money to pay for a fake....Any help would be gratefully received.

Hi Martin - It's certainly in the style of Sinatra from that late 40's, early 50's period...but I'm unsure of it. Attached is another 1950 signature along with Tommy Dorsey (Frank was long gone from Dorsey's band...but they were appearing at the same venue). Also, here's a study that was done through the UACC several years ago. The scans aren't the best but at least will give you some ideas:

As always, is the seller reputable? Sinatra is heavily forged...so it's good to be cautious.

Here's the 1950 one:

Is this overpriced?

I don't know the prices for Frank Sinatra but I wouldn't offer more than £300 for it anyway.

£500 is high and £300 is a little low. Hopefully you can purchase it for that.

Hopefully £300 will suffice. I purchased a signed postcard of Juggler Paul Cinquevalli from the seller today for £200.

She owes me one...Hopefully.

There's an awful lot of foxing on that paper which should be taken in account by the seller as far as price. I wonder if it's relatively supple. It sounds like this is a dealer whom you have hobby relationship with ..... so would you have return privileges?
