Signed Genesis LP by Tony Banks and Michael Rutherford

Hi, I came across this signed Genesis LP on ebay tonight and was wondering if the two signatures are authentic. Can anybody voice their opinions? I have no clue what Tony Banks or Mike Rutherford's signature looks like, none at all. That's why I'm counting on you's, thank you...

Likely authentic. A forger would probably have tried to add other, more valuable members signatures. JSA got this one right.

There is a nice chop out of the lower left and a sticker lower right. I'd keep looking. Quality is key - a missing chunk is not helping. I find it cheaper to seek out raw autographs than pay for certed stuff maxed out. That is just me.

Remember Nicky, there is genuine and there is attractive genuine. Two very different things...

Yes, I'm aware of this. I wanted a Tony Banks autograph so the other evening, I went shopping for one and this is what I found. I am also aware of the "chip" on the lower side of the jacket also. It's one of those minute or "petty" defects that are easily overlooked.

A chunk out of an album cover is not easily overlooked. If a missing chunk is not damage what is?

Those "chunks" or "slits" on the side of an album jacket were pretty common in certain record stores in the '80's, I purchased a Journey LP and it had the same slit on the side. I'm not certain why they do it other than to sell the album at a discount. I'm not sure though. Surely your aware of this Eric, no?
