I admittedly don't know much about the Black Keys' autographs, but it looks like the seller might be a mixed bag.  Seeing some stuff that's probably fine (including many that were probably purchased from Newbury Comics), as well as a few questionable or outright fake.

Might want to ask him where he got it from (and don't accept the generic "I've been in the business 25 years" spiel).

A number of the seller's signed posters don't look authentic to me. 

The seller's MUSE signed poster is a poor forgery attempt.

The Gwen Stefani poster looks really bad.

It looks like the seller picked up a number of low cost (Funky brand) music posters from Spencer's gifts and novelties or some general music store, then threw bad attempted signatures on them. IMO

I actually meant to post the bad Florence posters in this thread, but these are both way off.  As I said in the other post, I'm almost certain I've seen these before on Ebid or ioffer for very cheap.

Like I said, I think this seller just tries to buy cheap autographs from a number of sources, both good (i.e. Newbury) and bad.  I think his bit about being in the business for 25 years is worthless and misleading, suggesting he got them himself or from a source close to the celebrity.
