Thoughts on this? Looks no good to me. Anybody know any details on this?

Kelsey, I'm confused. I thought you said that you thought it was real and that Roger Epperson confirmed it.

I'll say it again.......
Look, there is a simple rule to follow when buying Kurt Cobain/Nirvana signatures. "PROVENANCE", without it your wasting your time. No matter how good the story is.
As for Roger authenticating Nirvana, Steve is correct. I own a John Brennan (From The John Brennan In-person Autograph Collection.) Nirvana signed promo. And the only reason Roger authenticated it was because it came from John Brennan. It's just too easily forged.

"Kelsey Hamilton" (not his real name) has been involved in string of notorious forgery auction houses and sellers in the UK, including Simon Parr. Members of the forgery industry feel threatened by Autograph Live and our members who expose forgers, forgeries and forgery sellers.
He is being permanently removed from Autograph Live.
Don't assume anything the he has said here is true. For instance, saying that Epperson approved the Nirvana guitar was blatantly not true.

Good work Steve. I had a feeling "Kelsey" was full of it. Just the fact that he lied about Roger authenticating that piece of junk guitar was enough to kick him off. Plus he mentioned that RR was involved in shill bidding which was another lie. I'm sure he's involved with those "other" autograph sites run by forgers.

The congrats go to Wascher. I knew he was not being honest and was not to be trusted, but it was Wascher who figured out who it was.

Steve,
Thanks for your help here. I really enjoy this community. I am trying to buy authentic Nirvana autographs and have found the members here helpful. I wish I had bought one of the John Brennan ones but missed out. I will get one eventually though. I have become an expert at Nirvana autographs thanks to this community and the posts from other members. I think specifically Marc e and J.seah and what they have shared. Thanks for weeding this out guys. Also, it has been eye opening seeing the counterfeiters are counterfeiting signed sports cards. Was shocked to see those threads.
I will be sure to keep helping this community out.

Ryan , nirvana graphs are terrible items to buy unless you can land one of John's or another well know person that had them signed without anything that's obscure from the normal, I just sold my Nevermind without any coa but it had solid provenance and I was asked if I had any more to buy so I showed them my friends one with a coa from a reputable company and the buyer wasn't interested in it. So in summary even legit graphs auctions or collectors pass up because there not worth the investment.

Yeah, I would have bought one of the Brennan ones but did not realize how Rrauctions works until it was to late. Did not realize the 30 minute rule. Maybe there will be another auction. Yeah, I have not bought one because of all the forgeries out there. Thanks for the advice.
