It's just to clean and to cheap.

Hi Ryan,

This is actually my autograph for sale and yes it is 100 percent authentic. Its been approved by PSA QO, members of this site, and was purchased from Autograph World. I have mentioned it in several threads that you can search for on this site, and in my early days on this site, posted it to make sure it was authentic, and got thumbs up from everyone across the board. At this point i am positive that its authentic.

100 dollar to cheap? I quite frankly was hoping for around 75 dollars , but thought id try 100 first. If your paying more than 100 dollars for an Axl solo autograph, that isnt stickered by JSA or PSA, then your getting ripped off. Axl autographs arent cheap, but they certainly arent rare, and his early signature is pretty easy to identify. If it was stickered by  PSA or JSA i probably would have posted it for 120, but that would be it. Their just not worth more than that by themselves for this type of photo and that size. 

I fully guarantee that this will pass any authentication service: PSA, JSA, Roger Epperson, and so on down the line.

Hope this clears up any confusion and if you have any questions about it, id be happy to answer them, b/c i am a huge GNR fan and have a pretty extensive library of all the band members, most of them purchased from psa, jsa, or roger epperson.

Here is the photo in question:

I should also add that if Roger, JSA, or PSA happens to see this and comments to the contrary, and that its not authentic, i will gladly take it down and take up the matter with Autograph World. But through my research on GNR and Axl, i am extremely confident this is real. The formation looks spot on to me for that time period.

Hey thanks for the response. It is a great autograph. It just seemed to good to be true so I thought I would get some opinions. $100 dollars is a steal to me. Let me know when you relist it. I have been looking for an authentic full signature Axl for a while and this one is amazing. I honestly didn't think he signed this nice anymore, even in 2006. I'm glad it comes from someone here too. Did he sign it for a friend because it's nice. If you relist it asap I will buy it for sure.

Carl, did this sell?

I think $100.00 is a great price for an authentic Axl Rose. I have not studied his signature enough to say this one is real or not but if trusted members here ok it I could agree.

I'd take the 100 and run, I don't think it's worth anywhere near that with with the "Danny" personalization. Kills alot of the value to me. Even without it, I don't agree with 100, but good luck.

I like your reasoning. Myself, since I collect for fun and not for profits-and this is just me, Im not saying anyone else should do it-I almost always ask for a personalization. But it's true what you said-personalizations take out some value.

I did end up buying this authentic Axl Rose from Carl. It should arrive tomorrow or so, and I am excited to add it to my collection. Thanks Carl.
