Rock and Roll Collection Concerns [Title revised by moderator]

I see this site brought up a lot on this site for autograph references.

http://www.rockandrollcollection.com/

problem is, who ever this Stephan is he has a load of forgeries up here too. I get messages from people from time to time saying he has offered to sell a member here an item or two and it is never the real stuff imo, it is usually the fake stuff. Greed. He wants money but doesn't want to part with the good stuff.

Eagles are his most famous work. Attached is a screen shot of his fake work (not limited too). Notice how they are the same..... duh. If you look through his stuff he has loads of fake Zeppelin, Beatles, Springsteen, Stones, Floyd and more. Even the so called authentic Traveling Wilbury's is not real. Maybe the George and Petty are ok but 100% not the Lynne and I'm pretty sure the Dylan is bogus also. Anyway, I don't wish to debat about this guy and his ethics but if you are using him a reference be careful and I wouldn't buy anything from the guy either.

Although here are two "Y's that Henley signed that are fully formed and level with the last few letters. (Both not from Stephan Duncan and with rock solid provenance).

Bruce,

The guitar is especially interesting. The tail of the Y is in the style of the ones that Mike T and I are concerned about. Many of the other letters are not. Do you know what year these were signed?

Steve the guitar was signed on 10/15/2014 backstage at The Eagles concert in San Antonio, TX. It was donated by The Eagles for an charity auction to raise money for Emily Robinson Strayer's children's school. (Emily is one of the Dixie Chicks and they opened for The Eagles that night).

The guitar isn't even a fully formed 'y' which is why i left it out initially.  Not to mention these signatures are very different than the one in question, but they still don't pass the test.

Even with the funky baseline in this signature, the 'y' doesn't come up high enough.  Here is a more accurate line that follows the baseline:

This is more consistent with the way he usually drops the end of the y off, as seen in most of his signatures.

Nice guitar Bill, thats typical of Henley with the lazy 'y' that doesn't get completed.  Thanks for posting.

That has a D similar to a number of the ones that concern me. That's helpful.
