Need advice on Avenged Sevenfold signed display

Hi,

I need some advice on the authenticity of a signature from the Rock band Avenged Sevenfold. The display has a CoA signed by Richard Wallace from RJW Autographs in the Midlands. I'm worried that the signature is not legit because I've researched RW and all I've found is bad reviews and that he has a reputation for forgery!

Could you please let me know what you all think of the attached photos, I was hoping to purchase this for a big Avenged Sevenfold fan but I'm worried its fake.

Here is the ebay link: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2613472929...

Kindest Regards and thank you all!

Jamie

The pictures are too small to judge. But it doesn't sound promising. I should pass on this.

Hi Jamie,

I have studied Avenged autographs for a while now, and know Synyster and Zackys autographs pretty darn well. I checked out the link and the pics, and i just cant tell. The pictures, even the bigger one you uploaded are still way to small to tell in my opinion. I would need a close up of the signatures. At first glance, i see some things that worry me, but i would have to see a close up to tell for sure.

But a few things to consider are that the ebay seller is brand new, and that the seller strategically didnt upload a close up photo of the autographs. Ironically, he did upload a close up of the COA, but not of the autographs. You would think a close up of the graphs would be the main selling point. If he gives you a good close up where you can zoom in on all the sigs, please post it, and i can try and help you better.

But at this point i would have to agree with Bjarne. I would pass until you get much better pics

thank you Carl for you quick reply. I've contacted the seller and she seems to be unaware of RW's reputation. I have requested some further photos (please see attached)/ Let me know what you think.
Many thanks,

Jamie
