Roger Waters BAS / Beckett Certed Forgery

Wanted everyone to be aware of this common Waters forgery style, which is being slipped up by Grad and co. Going to be plenty to choose from after this tour. Another reason not to trust solely the sticker

Yeah, I'm thinking by the time he gets here, he'll be sick of catering to people who just want to cash in immediately.

I know somebody who tailed Springsteen for 3 days in Philly. He had 3 workers ( a couple guys come with him for the day for a hundred bucks or so). He got about 16 graphs on Lps. A nice couple of days and around 10 thousand bucks.

He should give you a spring for free.

Ha, no, I just get stories for free. Some of these top blokes make a mint chasing these guys around. Sometimes I can get a couple bucks nicked off but I pay through the teeth like everybody else!

Getting back to Waters,he also signs on the way in to sound check sometimes. People line up at the entrance gate while he sits in his black suv and does the old rolldown. Get to the arena a couple of hours early and look for the gaggle of graphers with lp in hand for the right spot.if theres 200 people in line he will cut it short or not stop.They're already worried in Miami over this,everybody and his mother will be out there. One of the reasons I just pay. I had to laugh,a guy on RACC who was in Cal, had pics of the older hotel workers he hired to line up for Roger. Guaranteed these people probably barely had a clue who he was!

So this, item seems to be another forgery from njbc, who seems to sell for his pal, John Brennan. The Mccartney was the other item.
Old Bk, is signing off on them, i wouldn't trust any of them.

I agree with your description of the Harrison, but Ringo and Paul are nice and Frank Caiazzo feels they're all real, so I gotta tell you...I think $10,000 is very fair for that album flat.

Then again, it was discussed here a month or so ago when it was $18,000, and I didn't think that was so bad either.

the issue is really how can anyone trust he seller despite the coas if he has fakes for sale.. also..if the same album was lowered 9,000 in one month another reason to be wary...I also just dont think the Harrison is real..

If Caiazzo says it's real, I'm quite sure it's real. Apparently he has rushed examples in his database similar to this one.
Would also be extremely weird to forge a George on to this, no? With McCartney and Ringo already on it and a chance of ruining this piece.
And if they'd forge it, I assume they would try a more standard example of his signature.

We'll see for how much it will sell.
I think it won't be an experienced collector picking this up. Nor a novice millonaire or someone who saves for years to buy a Beatles set.
If you think it is worth 15000-17000, buy it for 8000 (I'm sure they will accept this offer) and resell it for the double. Talking about an investment ;-)
