I will compare it to some signed stuff of dead authenticated by rex foundation I have and post in day or 2. But, on first glance this looks good to me

I consider (as do others) myself an expert on dead signatures. In my opinion there are several issues with what i have seen in this shirt. It is very rare to see Bobby with this form of the B beginning his name. The shape of the W is not normal either. Bob also normally will reverse a back slash thru his last name stemming from the r at the end of his last name. This is juist a start. The start B in Billy is not common either and the upward slant of that letter as well as the rest of the last name is not normal. The M in micky also starts much differently then i have seen. with the first leg reaching above the others. Mickey will normally swing that to the left instead of up. i will post some known examples for you. With Garcia I can see several things but beeing the most difficult signature to get I would say thats not good either. I beleive these were all signed by the same hand. phils signature is very unique as well but I dont see it here. Feel free to contact me if you are interested in some cerified Dead signed pieces

Hello, I have an Dead album in my collection that I´ve brought some years ago in UK. There is sadly no history available of the autographs and I´m very unsure if these are authentic signatures. I would be very glad if there is someone around that might could help me. Would love to have a real DEAD in my collection even if I´m not a real fan of the band...

Please help to verify if these could be authentic - thanks in advance, Marty
