I am sorry, but Deep Purple signatures are all fake. Paice is completely off, Airey is just hideous, Glover and Gillan are just as bad.

Jonathan,

Most of us hate to tell people autographs they own are not real in our opinions, but the sad truth is that it's often the case. I looked at yours when you posted them and they were all definitely not real IMO.

Seller stories that they were insiders, which is why they have all their top band autographs, are a huge red flag. Yes, insiders may get things from time to time, and some may get a good amount of things, but that's very rare.

You can go to Roger Epperson, the top classic rock authenticator, and get online authenticity opinions for $15 each. His site is www.rogerepperson.com. If you bought them in the last 6 months and paid with PayPal or a credit card, you have a decent chance of getting your money back through them.

Sorry things haven't turned out like you hoped.

Thanks for your feedback, so it does look a con. I have passed on my concerns and will get my money back. I didn't know the dealer but was good friends with the middle man and trusted him, but he unfortunately trusted his sources blindly too. Before I depart with all the I got, could your expert eyes confirm the a few more please.

When I look at the handwritting - it seems that it´s all faked by one hand. If you look at supposed Robert Plant´s signature - it´s similar handwritting to those fakes on DP album. My guess it´s from same poor faker.

These aren't mine but I said I'd put them up for a friend, from the same dealer as the previous ones so expecting the same result.
