Freddie Mercury signed photograph
Dear all, I got in touch with a German woman, who wants to sell a photograph signed by Freddie Mercury. She says her parents got it signed by him during a concert in the late '70's in Rotterdam (Netherlands). It has always been framed since then. Does anyone have any thoughts about this signature? Any help is much appreciated!See More
"As we like to say...it looks "drawn"...not "signed"..."
"Have to agree that these are traced and done badly"

Postcard signed by all four?
Hello everybody, I'm new here and I've just discovered this forum and all your expertise! I'm asking for your opinion about this postcard. A friend from Belgium purchased it a couple of years ago from a collector. There's no COA. My friend is thinking of selling it, but that would be no good if the experts say it's fake. Scrolling through some other topics, I saw that COA don't always mean anything and I value your opinions more! Thanks a lot, Michael.…See More
