Postcard signed by all four?

Hello everybody, I'm new here and I've just discovered this forum and all your expertise!
I'm asking for your opinion about this postcard. A friend from Belgium purchased it a couple of years ago from a collector. There's no COA. My friend is thinking of selling it, but that would be no good if the experts say it's fake. Scrolling through some other topics, I saw that COA don't always mean anything and I value your opinions more!
Thanks a lot, Michael.

Not authentic, unfortunately.

These signatures appear copied or traced. Possibly a fan set. Regardless, they're not genuine.

Wow, your knowledge is incredible! I was trying to compare it with other signed items, and it seemed quite ok. I have really no idea how you all come to the same conclusion. Of course you have the expertise because you've probably seen hundreds of these items, but I don't understand what it is that makes it so obvious that it's fake. I hope to be as good as you guys in a couple of years! :)

Those guys have seen thousands, not hundreds. This item displays slow, shaky and unusual traits. Other things like signing angle, speed, placement and so on also play a part in these situations.

Hi Michael,

On a scale of 1-10, 1 being a super-bad forgery and 10 being super-close to the real thing, these rate 2. They're far off real. When you develop expertise from seriously studying a person's autograph, and especially each member of a particular band, almost all forgeries are easy to identify. If you don't study them seriously you may not be able to tell.
