Authenticity is Everything
Freddie Mercury Opinions Please.
This Freddie Mercury autograph was given to me as a gift a few years back. The older friend, and an experienced autograph collector,had it in his possession from his sister, who got this signed in person, as he told me. I have no reason to believe he was lying.
I have to sell in unfortunately and I was either going to send it to PSA/JSA first, because I know many buyers/bidders will claim it to be fake, etc. I decided to put it on eBay instead and within a few hours, received a message claiming it was 110% fake. I truly do not believe this to be the case, but decided to take it down to eventually send to PSA/JSA when I get the extra $100, to make sure.
I wanted to ask for everyones opinion on this item. The sister wrote when and where it was obtained. At this time, I do have it matted and framed. Any opinions are welcome, but I will still eventually send it to PSA/JSA. Thanks guys! I have seen many examples on google etc....which are VERY similar to what I have,

Neither can I - thats why I don't lie...now perhaps you had better stop as you may work yourself into such a tizzy and you will end up throwing your toys out of the pram and then maybe stamp your little feet.
I have said I cannot prove it...that should be enough for you...now run along and play with your chums.

Now now Adrian. don't get upset because everyone caught you in a lie. You may need to try to insult me but you're doing a great job of making yourself look like a fool. Thanks for making it easy. Its sad that you feel the need to make up stories about your life to try to impress others but its not necessary. Especially when the fakes you peddle with the lies are that poor. It only works to make you look more pathetic.

This one buddy! The one you claim to have seen signed backstage that is a blatant fake :)

But I am not peddling it nor selling nor trying to unload....you are in the dangerous side of slander now. I entered into a discussion...you have been quite rude.

Look, I'm sorry Adrian, but your album is fake. I think you know that. Actually, I'm sure you know that. Seeing as you never met the band, or if you did, you never got them to sign anything. Certainly not this Game album. If keeping up this story is important to you, so be it. But the fact remains that the item is fake.

It´s slowly getting silly:
Autographs signed in backstage (as you, Adrian, said) during some sort of meet & greet would not be that rushed - one of them, maybe, but definately NOT all of them... Backstage scenario is much more comfortable than any other (maybe with exception of official autograph session, but that´s completely out of question....) - around the venue, at the hotel, at the airport - all of these scenarios lead to rushed autographs, but this type of backstage meet&greet with signing? No....
In attached picture you can see just few most obvious warning points - as I said - it´s all written by one hand (because pen pressure, shaping of letters, distance between them, all characteristics are nearly the same), plus - someone who did that obviously has NO IDEA how Brian writes "t" letter!

Well you question it all - it doesn't matter - I am not trying to sell it. I got it I am happy with it...I was with a roadie friend and thankfully he can corroborate it should I need. I don't need. But really....authenticating signatures is obviously not your forte...but lets drop it shall we?

And you have been quite dishonest. Don't tell a blatant lie and expect not to get called out for it.

No I haven't but hey you have an opinion - thankfully I don't need your opinion. I have also been quite polite.

No no, please. Tell us who the roadie was. It just so happens that we know both Chris Crystal Taylor (Rogers roadie) and Peter Hince (Freddie's roadie) and CAN now validate this story you claim. I can even provide photo proof of their response.

Mmm - My clients christian name is Alan - he works for The Who, The Eagles and has worked for Genesis, he was a Roadie with the Rolling Stones as well, he also worked for Staus Quo - he looks after the guitars - I know you are all sitting there thinking another made up story - however Quo were at the concert I was at, as were INXS and XTC and yes he got me back stage...but as I say I have nothing to prove...I don't care what you all think...in fact I am amazed at you all trying to be the top notch authenticators - not even Frasers are right all the time. I do find it sad that you are all jumping up and down...still lets drop it now...say goodnight to the folks eh?
