Ive been collecting and studying queen signatures since 74. Believe me, we have ALL been there, Russell. We all sent things into the fan club and we all got these items back over the years. We were all disappointed, but the good news is now people are being made aware of it and these items are being turned down instead of continuing to trade hands. If you'd ever like to look for a genuine set to buy, I'd be happy to help you track one down. All the best
