Bruce Springsteen & E Street Band - real or fake?

Hello again!

The last Springsteen that I were interested in, Roger said were a fake. Now I will try my luck with this photo signed by Bruce Springsteen and E Street Band.

What do you think, real or fake?

Thanks for helping!

Thanks for the message Roger - I purchased this back in 1996 - so it was a while ago. Not sure when it was actually signed though..

Just to give an update on MY piece - Roger says that it is no good as well. I will be contacting Billy at Walls of Fame to see what he says.

:(!!!!!!

Does that mean just the Bruce signature, or all of the E Street Band signatures too? Might be that some of those are real, and the Bruce is added later? For example Little Steven looks a lot like most of the others i`ve seen.

The B in Bruce on this one looks a little strange to me. This one is beyond my expertise but i personally would pass on it. Another thing that i find weird just looking at it quickly, is that about half were signed in black and half in blue. This may not mean anything, but i would find it strange that the person had two pens and was having each member sign back and forth. Or as the alternative, i kind of doubt that the band members passed around two pens like that. It could most certainly happen. But i doubt Bruce and the band were sitting at a table signing things which is where you would typically see ink patterns like that. Typically in multi signed pieces like this most signatures are in the same pen or maybe one or 2 sigs are in different ink. This piece seems like about half and half, and that someone purposely tried to "mix it up" if you will.

Thats just my take on it, although they could be good. Even though i cant comment for sure on their authenticity, it just smells fishy to me.
