Is this a real Freddie Mercury?

Would appreciate getting some feedback on this autograph.

It is said to have been gotten at Rock in Rio in 1985.

Thanks, much appreciated.

Hi Ellie. This fake was poorly traced from a genuine (commonly reprinted) Freddie that was posted here already. The forger that made yours is from Brazil. He has been peddling this garbage a few times a week for just a few hundred each time. Freddie on paper alone averages about 1K a pop so anything under that is a massive red flag.

Thank you Innuendo, I was hoping to hear from you--I first found this site yesterday and read some of your Queen replies/postings.

Do you think there is anything I can do to get my money back? It hasn't even been delivered yet and until delivered the money is still pending through PayPal.

I really appreciate you all for taking the time for me.

You should be able to get your money back if it's through Ebay. You can file for a refund and that will allow you to chat with the seller. Nine times out of ten, these forgers back down and refund. If he doesn't, follow through with the steps on Ebay. Ebay usually sides with the buyer.

Im sorry you ended up with a dud. Feel free to add me as a friend if you're still in the market for Freddie. I am not parting with any of my items for the time being but I do have a collector pal who has genuine Freddies available he obtained in person. And good luck with getting your money back. I'm willing to bet you'll get a full refund.

This is also his under another Ebay account. He sells these with no background story and the same COA for all. Same shaky hand and poor attempt every time.
