Authenticity is Everything
Pink Floyd Group Autograph - Opinions Wanted
Hi, this item was bought in 1999/2000 at Starabilia's in Downtown Disney in Orlando.
I've compared each signature to hundreds of others, especially Roger and David and there seems to be consistency, however the first 'R' in Rogers doesn't look like any other one I've found. I do not know when and if everyone signed at the same time and how long. I know personally my signature has evolved over the years.
My main area of concern is, other than no COA, which may or may not have been provided at time of purchase I read about a bunch of forgeries that were sold at this specific Starabilia's. However I couldn't find anything about it when I searched most recently.
My dad paid about $800 for this. I'm getting this professionally authenticated but apparently a group autograph is rare considering Wright's untimely death and someone told me David Gilmour isn't a big autograph signer. Anyone heard this too?
Nick Mason's signature is in a difficult place, but I'll get more photos if need be. This is a preliminary excursion.

Yeah I'll give that guy a ring for sure if it is cheaper and faster. Like I said initially I did have reservations already after looking at lots of 'genuine' autographs on google image search, but here is where I noticed similarities, fabricated or not:
Waters: Although the R is definitely strange looking, there is a big looping G and the W looks similar to the others although the rest of the last name is kind of squished together.
Gilmour: The style of G used, where he has a little triangle embellishment looked very very similar to 10-15 other DG signatures.

They look fake.
But here's something else to consider. Sometimes, one signature will look a lot different than usual, for a variety reasons. But...with a group item signed, it makes it SOOOO much easier to authenticate (from those of us that are not "experts" but know are stuff), because...if Roger Waters made a weird "R" one time...we'd still see his style of writing, as well as his bandmates.
