Help! are these real?? a friend of mine needs to sell things but from everything i've read here on this forum it seems pretty unlikely-it also has a COA from Donald Frangipani...also, not really worth much huh? any expert advice would be a huge help instead of wasting money to ship it to an authenticator...thank you so much for any advice!

Not real, in my opinion. Unfortunately, they appear consistent with a particular forgery style.

Ballroom is correct.  there are many of these that were forged, and they all carry the same characteristics.

thanks for your opinions....it'll save a lot of trouble and money for my friend....sadly, this item was bought at a church auction some yrs. ago...perhaps the person who "donated" it realized they'd be had too.
