This looks very unusual.

Exactly The word. I CAN"T say its fake as I just don't know. it has characteristics that were prominent of a Freddie Mercury Auto of this period but its just so unusual. The bidding has been relatively low as I am sure the bidders are playing it safe also. but if I can get it relatively cheap i'll take a chance on it.

I'm actually pretty confident that it's genuine but I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot poll. The E to E on Freddie and the dedication look fine for 84/85 but the F and R obviously atypical. Looks like he probably screwed up, half paying attention to what he was doing and his mind reverted back to the dedication name when he started to sign his own name. Sucks, because it makes this item essentially worthless as it'll never grow in value and is already viewed as well below current value and price. It's unattractive and will never be desired like 99% of his other graphs. Gun to my head, I wouldn't pay more than $150 for it. 

He also didn't give a full signature which means it was for a friend and not a fan. Interesting to some (and would've helped it had it been something more heavy handed like a letter etc), but to most it equals a half an autograph. Especially in this case, with it being so atypical and unattractive, that just adds to the very, very ,very low value. This one should sell for a very low price.

Not unlike this Bowie - genuine but not quality:
