I don't think the harsh words are necessary. But Fran, here's a simple way to prove my point. A literal side by side comparison of the fake and the genuine example you found on ebay. There's a few reasons why the SHA john is fake. John still didn't sign simply D____. If youll look at the genuine example, he not only makes the D out of 2 strokes (the straight line and the curve to make the D), but he also adds a little something right after. Not just a D and a line. I don't see the need for an attitude from anyone here. It's a hobby. And if you study it enough, you can stand on your own two feet. No need for stupid bickering.

Even Roger Epperson gets it wrong sometimes. Just because it comes from someone with a good reputation doesn't mean it's a genuine item. The signatures should always speak for themselves. I don't care who's selling it.

If you're going to question people as to how it can be fake if you believe it to be from a good source why would you ask for opinions on it? It's fake anyway. the John deacon alone tells you its a fake.

I think he was just after an explanation as to why it's fake...and a few points have already been made on that. But here's the main issue with it for me and why it's not genuine: Yes, the John is terrible. John did not just sign a D and then a line.he signed either his full name or the brief version with the DEAC followed by the line. Sometime even just DEA and the line. But never just the D alone. Roger has never signed with the R being that swooped outward. Not like that. It's all a bit too close together and Roger usually pulls the end of the R down with a curve inward not outword. He stopped curving outward by around 81-83. The Mercury is not right. The ERCURY is too spaced out and in the wrong places. The brian is a good attempt, but is also fake. Hope that helps, martin. I would avoid this item. It is a decent forgery, but still a forgery.

And martin, just because someone who sells autographs gets one wrong, doesn't make them a bad dealer. Even the best get it wrong from time to time. I've looked into his autograph examples and under freddie, he has a genuine signed cd I believe was once owned by my friend Cathy who sold it not to long ago. so he is from what I see, a decent Freddie guy. Unfortunately, this SHA album is fake. Don't let that shake you from buying from him if another item shows up that is good.
