Elliott Smith autograph - opinions on authenticity
Hello, all!
I am curious to read anyone's opinions about this Elliott Smith autograph that was recently sold on eBay. At this point I guess it's admittedly moot as the auction is over, but I'm still curious. I was so close to bidding on it last night, but at the last second I talked myself out of it because, well, it's a decent chunk of money + I was nervous about the lack of specific information in the description + I googled the seller's username and saw mentions (including on this forum) of some past autographs by other celebrities having potentially been fake. Still, I'm feeling a lot of regret today because I'm such a huge fan and it looked like a great item (if authentic, of course).
The autograph and handwriting looked pretty good to me as a long-time fan, but I just was unsure as I'm very much a newbie when it comes to the world of autographs.
Here's a link to the item on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/134229229446
Here's an upload of the picture from the above link:
Thanks so much for your time!

It sold for $274. If it's real it was a steal. They can sell it for 10-20 times that.
I wonder if it is? Hmmm.....

Jackson for $100, Madonna for $20, full Radioheads for $92 ea - I would not lose any sleep over this.

That's honestly what I was hoping to hear, and I'm glad I listened to my gut and didn't go for it. Thanks for taking a look!

This one is not real. That seller is always putting up trash.

Definitely not real. The items sold are clear and bad fakes and so many people are being taken in

Looking at the seller's completed items, this originally sold for $348 in early August. Then it reappeared a month and a half later.
Original buyer summited and it failed authentication and was returned?

This seller almost got me once and revealed his true nature during the return. Total scam artist. I blocked his profile just in case one of his better fakes catches my eye again.
If it llooks like a duck, etc.
