Hi guys. Could anyone give me feedback on the two I own. I just paid and sent Roger pics for his opinion.

The first is with the Revolution, 1986

The second, from an 88 record store signing.

Sean,

When it comes to Prince, Roger is head-over-heels more experienced than the rest of us on Autograph Live. I don't know anyone better, period.

I barely studied Prince until he died—his autograph is that rare—but I've studied him a lot since he passed away. I hate to say it, but I would be surprised if Roger thought either of yours were genuine.

The revolution one has been given a thumbs up by a few on those that signed. I am questioning it now, as there are now two listed on eBay that look very much the same. I purchased this in 2015. Thanks for your feedback.

You'll find lots of reprints of forgeries.

Here's a discussion where all the Prince autographs in it have been determined to be genuine, either by an independent authenticator like Epperson, PSA/DNA or JSA or members of this site:
