I dont like it! There are VERY few signed photos of Layne out there. He only really ever signed anything within a three year period and his signature varied A LOT. The really long "Y" on this one looks suspicious and he always seemed to make some kind of effort on putting a loop into the "E" and there's no evidence of this. Layne is easy to fake and i think this is a good example of that. Sorry I dont have more positive news for you
