Hi innuendo can you give us some examples that you feel would be acceptable to purchase without photo proofs?

I found a lot of signatures like the signature that I bought.. It's typical from Roger Taylor also.

For the average collector, no, it's not. Its seen when he signs a few items at a time vs just one or two. That doesn't mean that you won't find them out there. Of course you will. And yes, they are genuine. Hope that makes sense. I'm sorry, but I can't upload photos to this forum from my mobile. I don't have access to a desktop right now. But what I'm referring to as "average" from Roger is a bit of a rounder signature. Usually, he will sign his R with a much more round (or circular looking) style. It'll also usually be dragged or look stretched at the bottom of certain letters. I mean, he would almost make the R, G, and Y look like they were on stilts. He would have pulled them down and had them end well beneath the other letters. Kind of like what he's done with these examples.

Hi Ian, just be clear- this style is ok to buy without photo proof. The only reason I mentioned it, is because for the normal autograph collector who doesn't specialize in Queen, it will be questioned. This isn't a style of signature he does as often as his others. The photo proof would help for this style if you were planning on selling to somebody who isnt familiar with Queen styles. Most queen fans on facebook via their fan club had seen this style posted on the group page, and claimed it was fake because it didn't look like the style they were used to seeing printed on tour posters, websites, ect.

I discovered a new world because I see that Inside of a signature you can obtain a most valued signature.. I thought that a signature from a famous person was the most important thing but now I see that the most important thing is the perfection of the signature..

Well that's only if you ever plan to sell it. Of course the most important thing is that it's genuine and YOU want it in your collection .I've had many an imperfect Freddie Brian rog and John in my collection in the past (genuine) and had a difficult time selling them once I had to in order to help my son with medical bills. The fact is, most queen fans that wasn't their autographs are only aware of the styles printed in magazines or posters of the band. Anything outsideof those are deemed fake by them. Everyone in the collecting world knows most artists have a few different signing styles throughout the course of theier career. Problem is, not all queen fans looking for sigs are in the collecting world. It was just a friendly warning if you ever decide to sell it. Does that mean it won't sell? If course not. It still stands to sell. Because it's genuine. It's a genuine piece (roger). Just not one most would think genuine right away.
