Is this Van Halen Signed Album AUTHENTIC?

I have had this Van Halen Signed 0U812 Album for quite some time now, But the question of authenticity has arose.

What are your opinions on the autographs?

Thanks

I am not a VH expert but it looks suspicious to me.

Might help if we knew who sold it to you.

I agree with Michael. When was it signed? It appears to be signed in the same exact marker which indicates someone close to the band may have had it signed. Al's signature looks off to me and Eddie's concerns me as well. Could be the same hand on all four. I am curious about the source as well. Also, was it signed on shrink wrap? I can't imagine a reputable dealer selling an item that is signed on shrink wrap. I have too many concerns about it.

What suddenly made you suspicious Kenny?

First off my dad bought this from a grapher that worked for one of those big companies like TOPPIX or BIGAPPLEAUTOGRAPHS one of those, not too sure it was bought two years ago.

No, not signed on shrink wrap, thats a album behind it.

What made me suspicious is that i noticed Alex's autograph has a hard stop at the end of his name. the same with sammys autograph. the others have streaks in the end, like it was signed and then rushed off the paper.
