"That Mercury sig is absolutely atrocious. "
"Another Ray Charles has appeared at RR Auctions. I can't work out how to copy the image but here's the link:
RR Auction
For my money it looks too good to be true although whoever wrote it obviously used "presumed genuine"…"
"A new Ray Charles has just appeared, a 10" x 8" photograph. This will be auctioned by Chiswick Auctions in the UK on 7 July 2021 (est. £800 - £1,200). I think I remember the provenance details ("***Provenance: the…"
"I would also lean towards it being a fake. Apart from it all looking incredibly fresh as everyone points out I have worked in the past with blind /partially sighted students and I would have said that someone sighted wrote that,- just my…"

"Steve:
I recall the background you were king enough to give me on the piece. It made all the difference in the world on my making acquisition. I thank you for that information."
"If I had to put money on it, I'd lean towards the new RR example being a very good fake. Somehow it doesn't seem shaky enough and, as Tacoma says, the whole piece (LP and autograph) look incredibly fresh. The provenance is also sketchy as…"
"Tacoma,

"What do people make of this one? It is in the latest RR auction and has a COA from Roger (Real) but is it a bit too "polished"? The best page of this thread for other exemplars is (currently at least) page 26.

"At the risk of going off-topic and getting very philosophical, I guess when we buy autographs we can never be 100% certain that they are genuine. If the signing is officially witnessed, if there are photographs of the signing or at least photographs…"
"Hi "pug" and thanks for your thoughtful response and also the report on the NME auction - obviously buyers were not convinced...
...and that's really my point, ie, it all comes down to belief. I don't believe anyone is…"
"Hi Rod, thanks for your very comprehensive and interesting contribution.
I'm not sure Phil or Paul look at AML frequently but I can tell you that the NME went for around £500 at a UK auction. Given the number of signers on it, I doubt…"
"Hi all - I'm new here, having just found this fascinating Ray Charles thread.
Personally, I can't believe there was any further discussion after Eric posted the overlaid postcards... and I do believe you should be $1000 richer…"
