I think this is real. It looks like the writing style and signatures of Phil that I have in my collection.

Looks good to me. Phil had a few different autographs and this looks like a late one.

Hi Michelle,

Unfortunately the seller had a complaint that the item was fake, I had already messaged him and he sent me photo's of his personal Lizzy collection and he seemed straight up, He took it down as he didn't want his Ebay account to be suspended. He was really upset about it.

It's really sad that what I believe to be a genuine rare autograph like this is taken down and the amount of trash that is still on Ebay.

Shame really.

Hi Micko, 

Oh I am sorry for you; - it looked a really nice one as well.  What a honest seller as well to take it down and not to sell it.  They are far and few between as I can well testify with my latest battle to get my money back (a lot) for what has turned out, among other things, to be a brand new copy of the original vintage !!!

Fake, this looks dead on so would love to know how this is fake? Amazing that good sellers get accounts suspended for 1 item yet those who sell tens of forgeries get nothing done to them

Yep Dan, you are spot on.  That's what I don't understand either.

Hi Dan, he didn't get his account suspended. He took the item down as someone contacted him via Ebay saying it looked fake and he was fearful that his account would be suspended. He was just being careful, and now a very nice item is no longer for sale. I don't know what eBays policies are in terms of one person claiming an item is not real and issuing a ban, but the seller was freaked out enough to take down the auction. It's a very flawed system and It looks like genuine sellers are the ones suffering.

Hi Micko, thanks for that and it sounds like someone who is either a competitor or has no idea what they are talking about complained and a good seller is forced to withdraw, typical ebay
