Is this shop filled with forgeries?

Just seems like to much variety. I ordered something from them, found this site and a brief mention of this type of COA (and an eBay seller named coast2coast being a scam) and got freaked out so I got it canceled and refunded but maybe I'm just paranoid? I would love to obtain it (full cast autographed picture from The Magicians series) but it seems far to risky.

Hello Everyone,

I am new here and to this genre of collecting so thank you for your help in advance with my query.

In trying to buy a thoughtful present for a close friend I have recently purchased a supposed Buffalo Springfield signed album (please see picture attached).

I was a bit hasty (I was hooked in by the ‘last one remaining’ and this particular artist has a sentimental link to my friend.

I tried to verify the authenticity by querying with the seller whether it came with a certificate of authenticity and he replied:

“Message:LOA is from forensic autograph authentication”

The seller also say they offer a full refund so I proceeded with the purchase.

However with a bit more searching around then finding experts such as yourselves on this site I can see you believe this vendor is supplying fakes.

I’m kicking myself for being so hasty and when I google the Authenticator their website looks a bit too generic for my liking, I also have a friend who is a very well regarded sports memorabilia collector but I feel too embarrassed to ask his opinion on whether my now purchased item is genuine or fake.

Would any of your knowledgeable community be able to help me with your thoughts regarding this item? I have paid >£600 and even if I do ask for a refund I have now paid shipping and UK import duty so am worried I won’t get a full refund or how I verify if it is genuinely autographed.

Sorry for the ramble rant.

Many thanks
