Potential Fake Signed Grammy Drum Head Autographed

I just joined this site as a result of finding articles here regarding a company, or companies? which apparently deals heavily in fraudulent collectibles, Art Of Music/Gallery Of Dreams.

On Christmas Eve, I purchased something in Las Vegas, and it is remarkably similar to something which was asked about on this website earlier this year.  The item is a "autographed" drum head, with the Grammy logo on it.  Signed by many major artists, including Bruce Springsteen, Garth Brooks, Paul McCartney, Santana, Bono, Edge, Phil Collins, and others.

This display piece was purchased at a Las Vegas shop which shall remain nameless.

I am definitely hoping for some guidance.  This situation is complicated by the fact I did not take delivery of the piece, since it would not fit in my vehicle, so I have no photo at this point.  Nor do I know whether said "store" will be of any assistance, especially if they know the item was a fake, and I was intentionally duped.  After reading what I have on this site, I am more or less convinced this is not legit.

My only recourse is to dispute with my credit card, but they have said I should take delivery of it, otherwise how can I prove it is fake.  I welcome any assistance from someone knowlegable here of what I might do.  It remains to be seen whether the shop will stand by their reputation and refund me, but i suspect not.  I am willing to explore any options available to me, and would hope they will not want the bad press I will attempt to bring them.

Thank you in advance for any advice.

Look at just the capitol B's on the BB King and the sig on the upper right side of emblem. They look almost identical. Then look at the capitol B's on the two signatures at the bottom left and bottom right of emblem. Those two look very close to the same as well and very similiar characteristics to the one at the very top. All look to me to be signed by one....maybe two people. No way that is authentic.

This is real bad. You have to get a refund as soon as possible.

This looks to be signed by the same hand, it's truly dreadful.

well it looks like all the votes are in David.  While I personally put little faith in other opinions the ones here are most telling and it's great to see that those that matter on ANL agree with the expertise here but then in typical fashion they tend to go off on irrelevant tangents which is why their opinions become heavily discounted as usual.
