Since Kamran has already made us aware that this Madonna is not original then, in my opinion, I would differ to him on this. As for Alfie, I never have done business with him but although his reputation, from what I have seen, was outstanding. Maybe someone switched his Coa to a different signed photo? Who knows but if you don't already own this one find a different one. That's definitely authentic.

Here's the bottom line. An Alfie COA means little to nothing of value nor guarantees genuine authenticity. Alfie himself has been out of the autograph business since early 2001. Sold out to others who destroyed the business selling bad material.

Much as evolved in authenticating autographs since then. My advice, listen to Kanram, he has a passion and studied her evolving signature styles longer and anyone else I know. He's helpful and his opinion is unbiased. And always on target.

Yo Joe - thanks.....I think the autograph market is such big business all across the board..there are just too many people with soo many diff kinds of COA's...they have just lost the weight they used to carry....They were probably more valid 10/15/20 years ago...as we all know even the established bodies give certificates to fake items....so where does a new collector start....basically his own research.....ebay completed section...highest price 1st..then cross reference with people on here..google images...fan sites....all these will give an individual a closer feel for a real from a fake

This one is fake.....have you noticed why there are sooo many magazine covers..all with fake signatures...because a magazine is cheap enough..and the faker can afford to mess up his fake ones too.....I think I have seen over 100 + fake mag covers..and maybe 5 real in all my time

Hi everyone!

Would appreciate your opinion on this Madonna signed English Roses letter. The real deal or not? If genuine, what would be a fair price for an item like this, complete with the book and box?

It’s a pretty difficult item to display. I’ve seen some collectors cut the signature out and use that for a display. How would that affect the value as long as everything that came with the signature is saved?

Thank you for helping!
