steppenwolf, neil young, bowie.

hi guys. I just picked up these 4 photos from a guy who placed an ad in the paper. Sigs look really good. He was told that neil young actually drew that pic of himself. It has a very coarse feel to it, not like the other photos. How do i tell if its hand drawn or painted and do you guys have any idea what these photos are actually worth........assuming they are authentic....thanks

Those signatures all look like the examples of their autographs I've seen. I can tell you for a fact, the Steppenwolf one is real. They sold that for years, on their website when you joined the fan club (it was $5). The other guys aren't original members, just JOhn Kay.

I doubt Neil Young drew the icture of himself.

Are they photos or paintings?

If they are photos, the Neil Young and Bowie are worth over a hundred bucks.
Steppenwolf, about $10 to $15

When I first got David Bowie's autograph it was very young in my collecting career (late 1980's). It was one of the first autographs I obtained that I couldn't read the name. It looked liked such a scribble mess. I was really pissed as DB is not the easiest person to find, and obtain.

Welcome to autographing. I would soon come to understand that scribble messes have many friends when it comes to celebrity signatures. We seek, we obtain, and we learn that what you get is what you got. Though Bowie has a very messy signature, of the 3 times I have obtained him here in L.A. (1980's and 1990's), he always has been very very pleasant.

The Neil Young, Josh, and Bowie in my opinion look like real signatures. The other one I have no info to base a decision.

the neil young pic has numbers on the back , the kind you would see on photo paper. This is why i say it is a print although i'm not sure why it feels so coarse compared to the smooth surfaces of the other photos.
