Genuine. Just rushed and not very pretty. I'd value it around 1K usd.

I agree that this is real. I think the "Best Wishes" part is particularly convincing.

Innuendo, you have talked before about Freddie autographs looking rushed and not very pretty. I can see what you mean about the autograph looking rushed in this example (particularly the second part of "Freddie") but I wouldn't really say that this makes it not very pretty.

Might it be worth starting a new thread to highlight the differences between well-written/attractive Freddie/Queen autographs and rushed/unattractive ones and maybe talking about how these differences affect respective values? I ask this partly because I've been told recently that some of my Queen autographs look rushed and I can't really understand why.

Well, that's personal taste. Not all rushed items are ugly, not all typical items are pretty. But that's down to the individual eye. Unfortunately the current trend in queen related autographs is to reprint and pass as original, so I try not to post genuine examples followed by what makes each one more valuable or less than another. A thread on pinpointing that may benefit forgers. I tend to stick with basic genuine or not on public forums. Still, I can answer your questions if you'd like. Shoot me an email at innuendoopinions@gmail.com and I can give you the more long winded version with more detail on what makes something more valuable than something else. But it's all relatively basic, admittedly. You can also shoot me a pm here, but I only tend to check the site once a day and my email I check more often.

Thanks Innuendo. I take your point. I may email you at some point  re the "rushed" question but all my Queen autographs have been posted on this forum in the past.

It will be interesting to see how the upcoming Freddie auctions at Sotheby's affect demand.
