Help authenticate Pink Floyd LP signed by Syd Barrett, David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Rick Wright, Nick Mason

Dear friends,

I come to you seeking help in authenticating the signatures on a Pink Floyd LP I purchased in Japan yesterday. Allegedly, it is signed by Syd Barrett, David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Rick Wright, and Nick Mason. The seller claims that its provenance is 'From an in-person autograph collector. Based out of Netherlands/Europe, the collection stems from someone who collected autographs from 1953-2010.' According to the Google translation of Japanese text, he also adds that 'Ten years ago, I was asked by a German collection expert whom I met while studying abroad to sell my first autographed collection in Japan. ' Please see the image below.

Looking forward to your expertise and advice. I would really appreciate if you could share your opinions with me as quickly as possible. I won this item on Japan's Yahoo Auction but have not paid for it yet (the platform allows a few days for making the payment). From the same seller, I also won bids for 7'' or 12'' records signed by members of Led Zeppelin, Queen, and The Rolling Stones. All are pricy, but his one is the priciest by far, so your advice could save me a little fortune.

Thank you in advance for your support.

I’m glad you asked. These are all absolutely poor forgeries in my opinion.

Definitely all very poor forgeries by one hand.

I don't know that there even is an LP or single signed by all 5. Maybe. Corey would know.

Here is a fully signed DSOTM that went for $28K at R&R:

On the other end of the spectrum, and certainly very different items, this 1984 Waters promo LP was $37 raw on eBay and the Gilmour About Face 1984 ticket was $78
