Prince signature - Real or fake?

Hi guys...new to the site but really pleased to have found it!

Would love to hear some knowledgeable opinions on whether the below 10" x 8" supposedly authentic signed glossy pic is real or fake! Have also included the (dreaded) certificate of authenticity...:-)

Have done a little research but please do share an opinion !

Thank, Dan

Does not look good to me. Through the mail...

I agree, it's not real IMO. But I don't know whether it's a TTM autograph or just a regular forgery.

I believe the COA falsely claimed it was obtained through the mail.

Hmm, well you've all confirmed my suspicions as seemed too good to be true. And we all know what they say about that...

Many thanks :-)

I've seen this type of "Prince" autograph turn up on a lot of Prince pictures (typically on Ebay). I'm not sure it's even a copy of an authentic autograph or just a copy of a forgery but if it's on anything with a picture of Prince post 1990 then forget it.

I think anything early to mid 80s is "Love God Prince". Lovesexy onwards "Love God" - P '88. Early 90s, his symbol. After that it's duff.
