They look pretty good to me, i have gotten Alex a few times and he always puts that dot underneath his signature

All look good except for David. Could have been in a hurry or had an off day. Why would there be 3 good ones and 1 bad one? Would be more likely all are good. Do you know where the album was signed?

beautiful item! Yes, agree with Mike - looks good to be 99.9%. Attached image of my signed VH Album - you can also see that DOT underneath Alex signeature - very typical for Alex - but there are also genuine autographs from Alex around without that Dot.

Also I´ve attached a FAKE autograph image that I´ve had in my collection. Very bad thing - I already cleaned the cover but did keep the scan of it to verify good from bad.

That 1984 album is fantastic.  I love the stars that Dave added to his signature.  I find it amusing that the forger of the OU812 album didn't seem to know Eddie from Alex.

yeah, love the stars, too! Looks awesome. Its one of my favorite albums and I wont let it go - never ever! I´ve attached image of my vinyl 7" Dance The Night Away sleve, too. This one is a sample of Alex without the DOT!

Martin none of the VH albums you posted appear to be authentic. That dance the night away was obviously signed only the same hand. Where did you get them?

The Diver Down that was posted originally looks good. Only the David is a little odd.

I'm not convinced about the 1984 album Michael but I agree otherwise.  I didn't want to say anything because Martin wasn't asking for an opinion.  Sorry Martin.

Hey Mike, I have never seen graphs like that from VH (the 1984). If someone has authentic IP examples similar then I will happily admit I am wrong.

I thought Martin wanted opinions especially since he was posting the items as examples of authentic VH autographs. Sorry about that!

You are probably right Michael.  You are more familiar with the signatures than I am.  It just didn't seem as obvious as the other to me.

I hate to say this but your album looks bad. I will be posting several examples of albums I got from the bands photographer, truck driver and the son of a musician who had access to the band during the reunion tour.
