<p>As I mentioned to you, it's overly simplified. Meaning there are not enough characteristics in it to point to even a genuine rushed example. There is nothing in it that suggests Freddie's hand. I will not give you the details about what spacings, lines or in depth factors make this a fake as I don't wish to help forgers. Simple Freddie signatures can be genuine, but sorry, this is not one of them. Best wishes. </p>

<p>Hello, good morning. Thank you very much for your response and for giving me your expert opinion. About the first signature photos (behind the photo) I already fear that it was not authentic. But the second one on the photo was bought from a person from Germany who gave it to a person who knew he had personally picked it up at a party in Berlin that was Freddie Mercury. It is true what you say that it does not seem very logical to sign in a dark area but sometimes it could happen that hurry…</p>

It is true what you say that it does not seem very logical to sign in a dark area but sometimes it could happen that hurry or overwhelm people could occur, right ?. At the beginning you comment that you have some doubt about these signature, but then you say that the signature is very simple and I don't know very well what it means to be simple, I suppose a signature can be simple and authentic, depending on other factors, right? The truth is that I was quite infused with this signature and thought it was authentic. Please could you study it again in detail and tell me if it may be possible that even if it is simple it is authentic or you find clear indications (typeface, inclination, separations between letters, etc ...) to reiterate your opinion that the signature Isn't it authentic? (If you want I can send more pictures to see details of these signature). I really appreciate your time and of course your expert opinion, but this is a photo that I believed was authentic and was a real illusion for me. Well thank you very much for everything and happy new year.</p> I'm sorry but neither of your…tag:live.autographmagazine.com,2019-12-28:3524372:Comment:14243622019-12-28T17:50:06.637ZInnuendohttps://live.autographmagazine.com/profile/MercuryMan
<p>I'm sorry but neither of your items are genuine. The item that you purchased being in the back of a photo was actually forged by a Brazilian forger who is active on Ebay and the Game item is close, but upon further inspection is too simple to be genuine and Freddie didnt not sign that photo in that spot, as he knew it was too dark to show. Genuine Freddie graphs on that photo are signed on the white of his shirt or above him. Best wishes. </p>

<p>I have another Freddie Mercury signature. It's cames from Germany in 1983-1985).It is made with a marker on a dark background and does not look very good. I think it's authentic, could you give me your opinion? thanks</p>

<p>Hello Goodnight.</p>
<p>Could anybody help me?..</p>
<p>I have seen that in this chat the authenticity of a Freddie Mercury firm was studied. A month ago I bought a Freddie Mercury signature on the back of a photo. I have seen that this signature is very similar to the one you put in the chat. Would it be possible for someone watching it to tell me if it is possible to be authentic? I put a picture. Thank you very much for your collaboration</p>

<p>You're right again, grunge. However, I don't think unsure is the right thing to say for these. More like "likely genuine but wouldnt buy". There was no reason Markus should have removed the item and although it sold for way more than it should have being what it was and the quality it was, I don't think Markus was in the wrong for offering it at all. Unless there's some info someone isn't telling us, there isn't enough proof to say these items are anything other than ugly…</p>

<p>Oh I get what you mean now. Thank you. I'm familiar with that style Brian as well so I didn't question it either but with the Freddies being so ugly as you say and with them still having genuine points would it have just been better for both parties to say "unsure" instead or is it blatantly obvious these are both genuine? I mean both of you seem pretty set in your decision and if I'm being honest I go with the guy who has more experience and provides examples but I was reading somewhere…</p>

<p>Absolutely. Genuine doesn't always mean "BUY BUY BUY". Quality and value should always be taken into consideration. I have always advised people against buying transitional signatures as they are usually ugly and hard to resell. Some people don't mind that but personally, I avoid them. Not because they aren't genuine but because they're a pain in the behind when thinning out a collection. An item like this shouldn't have gone for anywhere near 1200.

<p>Absolutely. Genuine doesn't always mean "BUY BUY BUY". Quality and value should always be taken into consideration. I have always advised people against buying transitional signatures as they are usually ugly and hard to resell. Some people don't mind that but personally, I avoid them. Not because they aren't genuine but because they're a pain in the behind when thinning out a collection. An item like this shouldn't have gone for anywhere near 1200. People see a real Freddie and freak out, not considering the quality of it first. First of all, unless it's a Freddie from college or 1991, NO paper graph of his is worth that much. Movie or not. But to say it's fake because the same in person collector got them at the same time and they signed in the same angle (probably thinking the other 2 were going to be obtained as well) is...well...not valid. Would it have been better if they were signed on albums? Absolutely. But if you're not expecting to see them boys, I'd assume the best you could hope for is paper. I've seen genuine signed menus, paper, and even luggage tickets! I'm sorry but his reasoning just isn't enough to deem these items fake imo. It would be a totally different ball game if the guy claimed he got them years apart or if he had an unlimited supply of these or even if they didn't sport genuine chatacterics. You need better footing if you're going to say you "know" an item isn't real. I see too many similarities between them and genuine items to say I have reason to question them. I wouldn't want either of them but I can't say I believe them to be fake or that Markus had any reason to remove the item.</p> Thank you for adding photos a…tag:live.autographmagazine.com,2018-09-30:3524372:Comment:12638682018-09-30T12:11:23.461ZGrungegardenhttps://live.autographmagazine.com/profile/PinballWizard
<p>Thank you for adding photos and proof of what you're saying. Am I understanding you correctly in that you believe these are genuine but wouldn't suggest people buy them? Would these not retain value being so a-typical?</p>
