Bono and the Edge - real or not?

Here is a CD insert signed by Bono and the Edge. I'm just wondering if these are authentic autographs. Any thoughts would be appreciated. There's a pic below. Thanks in advance.

To me, the Bono looks good, and if it is, Edge is probably good. But I don't trust myself 100% on this, so I'd love other opinions.

Who’s the seller? That might help.

It looks good to me too! But over the last few years the market have been flooded with some unfortunally really good fakes from a forger in the UK, so I’m really hesitant when it comes to giving opinions on U2 items now!

Here’s a great link to a blog made by AML member Verland about this forger: https://live.autographmagazine.com/profiles/blogs/the-great-bono-fr...

And if interested, here’s my small U2 collection: https://live.autographmagazine.com/photo/photo/listForContributor?s...

The seller's ebay ID is "bietnow", an American seller in Maine. I'll check the links you gave me. Thanks, Cogo.

It's sad and disturbing that his fakes can look very legit. To be honest, I would probably be fooled by most of these. And I'm pretty certain that there are several out there that have been passed by PSA and JSA. It's a good time to reflect that stickers don't guarantee authenticity.
