Led Zeppelin by Forever Legends: Real Autographs or Fake?

84 Led Zeppelin "band-signed" albums: 80 that we uploaded last night, plus 4 more we found this morning—INCLUDING one album purportedly signed by Led Zeppelin AND The Rolling Stones, all in FELT TIP! All of these albums, posters and sheet music, have been signed by the entire band: Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones...and the late John Bonham, who died in September 1980.

All of these items were available on Forever Legends' website from 2007 to 2010, and some are still available today. But not only is this more than FOUR-TIMES the number of genuine full-band signed Led Zeppelin albums known to exist; and not only have the prices have been incredibly cheap (about $400-$750, when similar genuine albums would probably sell for $10,000 to $20,000). How can Forever Legends explain why all but 1 or 2 of these albums were signed in felt tip marker—which was extremely uncommon at the time.

Forever Legends was, or is, a supplier to American Royal Arts and many of the autograph galleries from Florida to Las Vegas to Arizona, California and Hawaii known to sell forgeries.

Look at the autographs and let us know: Do you think that they're real or fake? Why?

Comment by Neal on November 24, 2010 at 10:35am: Thanks for exposing forever legends for the fake led zeppelin Any serious Zep fan would know they never did any meet and greets and unless you were a "party supplier" or a hot chick there was ZERO access to them especially from the 1975 tour on, their security team would rival the secret service,it is absurd to think that forever legends would have a endless supply of led zeppelin autographs ,some one should go to jail for blatantly selling fake autographs,they also occasionally will sell a autographed lynyrd skynyrd street survivors album.skynyrd NEVER signed any promotional Copys of the album the only album skynyrd promotionally signed was the one more from the road album I own one. So the street survivors are forgerys also, and I would also say the same for the Stevie ray Vaughan autographs also

Comment by scott on November 24, 2010 at 3:24pm: Is the merchandise at Forever Legends and Autograph Central related? The signatures look very similar at the two dealers. Why doesn't Forever Legends sell signed guitars? Is there some agreement in the autograph underworld about how merchandise is divided up?
