It's a reprint. It's been printed on photos, posters, singles etc. Not an official reprint but one made by fans/forgers.

If it’s a print of original how did you notice that it’s a print? The person selling has got some amazing autographs and he is giving also a lifetime certificate with it and a 30 day return. I am not doubting your opinion but would like to learn as got fed up of fakes :(

Because the same graph has been printed on tons of things in the past. It's pretty common. They were sold for about $5 a piece last year on Ebay.

No problem. I wish I'd saved some of the pics from last year of them but I rarely bother with prints. Nobody really buys them and they're usually offered at less than $20. But this one was annoyingly common.

All the best

Hi

Found copy of photo on internet which photo was taken. It seems that name on photo was removed (photo is copy righted) and signature included.

The thing is if you see all other autographs this guy has, it really pi**es me off...all fake!! Its not fair for the buyers...was seeing his feedbacks. Really am after a signed photo of Freddy and price is within my budget :(

Item 253960394076 on ebay

You will unfortunally not find a real signed photo for $250 like this fake item costs. You will not even find a signed paper for that sum either, you’ll most likely have to dubble that sum to get a genuine one!

Here’s a great thread where member Innuendo (the best on Queen) gives his opinion on the value of different Freddie/Queen graphs: https://live.autographmagazine.com/forum/topics/queen-value-list?xg...

And if interested, here’s my own beloved Freddie graph: https://live.autographmagazine.com/photo/freddie-mercury-1?context=

Just my two cents   Right now is not a good time to buy a Fredddie Mercury as the new movie "Bohemian Rhapsody" has created a huge interest in anything related to him, buyers (good & bad) are going to capitalize. My advice, wait until interest subsides . I had a good two days and I was able to see the movie and I really liked it.
