Stevie Nicks. Genuine or secretarial?

I had this one previously listed in another area and decided this one needs to be discussed in this forum. I am not an expert on Stevie's signature by any means but did have some concerns once I received it. I do know that her personal assistant named Ginny did sign on her behalf quite frequently and her signature is quite similar to Stevie's.

I have also included a Stamp on the back of the photo which links to Ginny which I did not know about until receiving the item.

What say my fellow members. I feel is it, more than likely, a secretarial.

I did not see this discussion previously and just read through it. I have studied Stevie's signature for years, and one thing I noticed about the one in the OP and the others associated with her assistant, is a "stiffness" to the handwriting that does not exist with authentic Nicks autographs. There is a softness to Stevie's handwriting. Yes there are certainly technical differences, but my first impression when I saw the photos in question was "these look too stiff to be authentic". Glad you were able to sort it out Joe.

Good observation, T. I am amazed how subtle the difference can be. Even very experienced collectors can be misinformed. That is why I regard this site so highly. We have our difference of opinion once in awhile although we all have the same goal; to be better collectors. Open mindedness required!

FYI Stevie Nicks fans, I found a hand-signed Stevie Nicks photo on eBay for only $29.99...with a COA!! Yeah...that’s right. And yet there are suckers out there who pay over $500 for a PSA one. Jeez...Louise!

Ebay is always so helpful when they send me advisories like...”You viewed one at $3000. We found a similar one for only $50. That’s a savings of $2950!”

Thank you, eBay.
