My vinyl copy arrived today (but not the CD, which I also ordered.) Paul’s signature was so similar to Bjorkwind’s that I was ready to cry autopen foul, but on closer inspection, the Paul has a slightly different taper to its finish. The last name, however, is uncannily similar. I’m choosing to believe he just signs very similarly after all the practice. Anyone else think it’s sus? I don’t like the dots that start both line segments of the first name, either. Would any artist do such a thing after Dylangate?

I think you are on to something. The last name is exactly the same and the P too. Reminds me of the mix & match they do with autopen where they combine different parts of the autograph to create variation.

I'm sorry!

I was planning to buy this when I saw how nice the prints were, but glad I didn't. Maybe you can get a refund if you push them hard enough.

There's always a little variation due to movement of the pen and paper, but in my opinion these are too similar to have been replicated by hand, especially since we've seen only 2 posted.

“The Dylan scandal was months ago, none of these idiots will remember that far back…”

I was close to purchasing one as well. this is terrible. I really though we made progress with the Dylan scandal. Even though I didn't make a purchase, Id be more than happy to gather and compare items again as people get them. Our community has to take these things seriously or it will start happening more often again. Lets fight to get everyones money back

Still too early to get it going. Probably need to wait a few days to let more deliveries arrive. could everyone that ordered post a picture of theirs as they come in? The more examples we have, the better. we need to compare the CDs as well
