Queen Autographs - Authentic?

Hey guys, gotta know your opinions on these ones too! Thanks!

AUTOGRAPH NO.1:

AUTOGRAPH NO.2:

And this one is got a story according to the seller,

"This note was bought to a guy who used to work for Freddie Mercury at Garden Lodge, Freddie's home in London.

Freddie used to put a F. in notes for his housekeepers in the early 80's, so he didn't do it for fans and that's why it's a very rare item"

AUTOGRAPH NO.3:

#1 may be rushed genuine from 79 or 80 but it's too sloppy and not worth buying because it's so atypical.

#2 The story is it comes from Jim Hutton via Shaun Mattews who worked at Garden Lodge. A few years ago Shaun sold a couple of lots on Ewbanks auctions. I know a number of people who bought his items and this wasnt in it. I also know of someone who said they saw this item on ebay years ago for just $400 which means if it did come from Shaun, he would have had to have originally sold it for less than $400 and I dont see that happening. Freddie didnt sign just F for housekeepers. He did that for lovers. He also normally only signed F if he also included his boyfriends names in the notes or letters. This only says "Behave" and the more I look at it the more I dont trust it. I knew Jim personally and we discussed the items he had of freddie's many times. Letters and notes were mentioned but this one wasnt. Simply "Behave" and "love F" wouldnt be the hardest thing in the world for someone to attempt. Too much of a gamble, imo.

#3 is genuine.

He was a great guy. My wife and I were introduced to him in the 90s by a mutual friend but he did attend Queen conventions as well. Very friendly and kind spirit. I'd like to think hes with Fred now.

All the best.
