Hi guys.
I have a favor to ask. I am considering buying this book privately. I was wondering if I can get an opinion on this signed book U2 by U2. Is there any experts who can render an opinion on it. It seems okay to me from looking at other examples but I realize that this is also a band that we would see forged.
Roger if you see this can you please give me your thoughts.
Thanks for your help.
David

Hi Steve.
I appreciate the feedback. I will just pass. I am glad I asked first. The modern material - Rock & Roll, Sports and Actors & Actresses are very tough to authenticate.
I wouldn't touch this.
Pretty medicocre forgery - not the most incompetent I've seen, but still pretty poor. And it even looks like it's crumpled! I'm a huge U2 fan and have seen dozens of authentic in-person examples, and this doesn't even look close. None of the signatures strikes me as possibly authentic.
Strange - most forgers try selling books signed on the inside, using the examples from the late 2006 Barnes and Nobles signings as a template for their own forgeries.
I'm sure Roger will concur that this looks shady at best.
If they did say that, they may have some explaining to do. The band only signed on the inside title page in gold paint pen.
Good call passing on this one. There are plenty of authentic examples out there, and this isn't one of them.
Authentic example of Bono I obtained in boston during the Vertigo Tour:

Bought this one off Autograph World a couple years ago (from the NY B&N signing):
