Real U2 Autographs?

Hi Everyone!

New to the forum for the most part. I am looking for any ideas on how to obtain a sketch by Bono. Recently Pristine Auction had a few personal sketches/autographs on 8 X 10 and I regret not pulling the trigger. They were selling for $400-$600 range. Any ideas on where to obtain one and not have to worry about it being authentic?!

Also, someone on Etsy has been selling several rock n' roll autograph memorabilia for a while now, including several U2 items. Any thoughts on the authenticity?

I am a big fan of U2 but a complete amateur when it comes to things like autographs. I have zero.

Thanks for any input! Chris

Those are all really bad forgeries.

That looks more on target, though the price is a bit silly. Bono's been a great signer his entire career. Neat looking item, but seriously overpriced.

This is a good group to check in with for opinions on U2 items: A number of longtime fans and some pretty comprehensive knowledge. https://www.facebook.com/groups/u2graphs

Great! Thanks Rich, I'll check out the Facebook group.

And agree on the price. I was watching a few of these go for 400-600 USD on Pristine Auction a few months ago.

If anyone has any ideas on where to look for one of these within the price range above, please do let me know.

Appreciate the time you took to respond, Rich. Thank you. Chris

A friend of mine owns a similar sketch, with signatures from the full band, on a copy of their U2 by U2 book:
