Honest opinion?

It's a slowly written forgery of his 1960/1970 style. The giveaways are the E and the whole of Clapton. The other Clapton autograph in another post you raised, is genuine.

Becket just got back to me and told me it looks good too. I know what you mean though, I'm just telling myself that he spent more than half a second signing it. Maybe it was for a cute groupie or something

for me is a fast signature... The T in Clapton is not complete... And also the O in Clapton is not closed...

Let me explain why I believe it is not genuine.

The E in Eric is very unusual, the dot on the i is much longer than any I have seen.

If he rushes the autograph there is normally a connection line between the dot of the i and the C. The way the L leans into the C is not normal, the A in Clapton looks suspiciously slow and laboured and the final giveaway to me is the way the N finishes. I have NEVER seen the N end like this, it normally hooks back to cross the T when he does a full signature which he has not done for some years.

I have collected about 12 in persons from Eric since 1983. He is a former art student and his hand writing is impeccable, unlike this autograph.

Only my view of course...
