"I hope so. In some case auction houses or seller relate on their COA and do not care in some cases they withdraw the item if they might be the slightest issue. Over the years I contacted several auctions houses who had a COA bei REAL or in some…"
"I will contact the seller - I wonder if and how they react. Would not be the first REAL COA listed item that had been withdrawn from auctions."

My main concern at the start of this discussion was the story as the overall style/look was good - and this template wasnt perfect either / has uncommon bits, too."

The problem for all fans, experts and so called experts is - if you see one autograph you easily will say "authentic" - if more come up in a short space of time you get suscpicious.…"

Suspicious Wings era autographs
Perhaps I am too suspicious but over the last months a lot of Wings era autographs on scruffy paper appeared in several facebook groups. All with the "is this genuine?"-tag. Is someone producing them at home or could these all be good? I wonder as these type or autographs haven't come up for years and the figure of those similar scruffy ones is very strange. I fear they all base on authentic examples (as Paul signed as such mid 70s).See More
"Yes - I remember this. It came with a tin box in a frame. I am quite sure that it came with a quick opion that I never liked at all."
"I often realisize that you need to know a lot about history of the bands and not just look at the signatures. I assume REAL just looks at the signatures - no idea how much his effort is - but you have to consider many more details.

Lieber Thorsten,
ja Wahnsinn - Du bist mein Held! Vielen Dank dafür! Das freut mich ganz außerordentlich!!!
Meinst Du mit dem UK-Experten zufällig Lewis James Roberts? Dessen Expertise schätze ich auch sehr u. verfolge gerne die Facebook-Gruppe "Elvis Presley Autographs: Real and Fake", wo er ja auch sehr aktiv ist.
Ich habe unfassbar wenig (<1.000 EUR) für die drei (!) Autogramme bezahlt, von daher war das echt ein Super-Schnäppchen - über Kleinanzeigen übrigens... ;-) Und die zwei Lamar plus der Stempel waren da auch noch dabei.
Wenn ich das vergleiche mit anderen Elvis-Autogrammen, für die ich bis zum Dreifachen pro Stück bezahlt habe, war das echt ein Glücksgriff.
Ich glaube auch, dass Elvis alle drei nacheinander unterschrieben hat, weil sie sich so ähneln...
Wie erklärst Du Dir denn das Hans-Bakker-Phänomen? Siehst Du das "Haifischflossen-r" übrigens als Kennzeichen für Bakker oder Stefaniak? Auf alle Fälle gibt es auch echte Elvis mit solch einem überhohen r...
Würde mich über Deine Rückmeldung sehr freuen!
Herzliche Grüße aus Leonberg
Markus

Hi Thorsten,
You've posted a question on an autograph in the blog area (it is pending and I'll be deleting it). Would you mind posting it into the forum instead please ? The blog area is reserved for articles of interest :) Thanks a bunch!
