The LOA or CERT date predates Bowie's death and the ensuing flood of forgeries among them the Tsunami caused by Tony Ford/"Andy Peters"

It does appear at Andy's/Fords site but so have many of mine and they were fine vintage examples...

PSA QO is stuck in a loop!

JSA? Same loop. Opinions appreciated.

The inscription looks as real as it gets. The signature feels like Bowie but it's atypical. I'd say go for it. There are many genuine Bowie exemplars on Andy Peters' site, even though little of what I've seen that he's sold looks real to me.

Thank you for taking a look Steve - it is mine! :-)

Replaces this which I stupidly sold when I was unsure of an inheritance and needed money.

As Eric points out, not everything sold through that website belongs to the webmaster.

I sold a genuine 1972 Bowie through the site a few years ago.

Not sure what would happen if somebody bought this right now:

The vendor was cremated this afternoon.

It has been up for months. It is stylistically atypical for these Cork Street Programs. Should have poor ink adhesion as shown.

I know. I was there at Cork Street, and I agree that this one looks off to me.

My point is that the vendor is now deceased, yet the listing remains live.

Any other opinions on the 1980 SP?

I just found this original album flat by Edward Bell from the release in storage from moving.

It shows the end of the 5th photoshoot with ripped clown costume and smeared makeup; disheveled spent and smoking a cigarette. The SP shows the start as "...the most beautiful clown at the circus..."
