Authenticity is Everything
Authenticity of USA for Africa Signed Poster: Bob Dylan, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen etc
Hi everyone,
I saw this on eBay a couple of days ago and can't help but feel - despite the supporting documents - that the signatures aren't quite right. The Bruce Springsteen doesn't match other signatures I've seen, the L in Cyndi Lauper doesn't look like any others I have seen and the J's in La Toya Jackson and Jackie Jackson match too perfectly for me.
I was just wondering if anyone else could offer their opinion? I wasn't thinking of buying it myself, but the thought of someone spending £1000s on something that isn't authentic made me want to ask for your advice.
Thanks for having a look, and I hope I'm not breaking any rules by putting the link to the item here:

Here's a picture of the signatures for you to have a look at:
Tags: Bob, Bruce, Cyndi, Diana, Dylan, Jackson, Lauper, Lionel, Michael, Paul, More…

Thanks for the response, Chris. That's what I thought. The supporting evidence all looks good which is why I was a tad confused when I looked at the signatures and saw so many issues.
Any ideas on if there's any way to get it taken down? I assume as it's eBay the answer is no?

I just noticed that it says there is a COA from Christie's which makes me second guess my original assertion. I might be wrong, although many of the signatures dont look "right" to me.Let's see what other folks say - my bad. The low price threw me off too. If real, this thing has to be worth big time money.

The supporting materials are also huge proof that a poster with signatures is fake. The paper with the list of highlighted names is just ordinary paper, but the original paper has a watermark!
Sold for $ 5,100, that's sad.

Total fake -- sigs not even close. And I don't think Christie's issues COAS anyway. Scammer.

Hi Marc, thanks for responding. Are Wolfgang's Vault known for fake autographs? I have something from there so thought I'd check!

Thanks Marc. I bought a signed board from them that was apparently backstage at the last show of the Amnesty International tour in the '80s and thought I'd make sure it was alright! I know the guy who was head of Amnesty at the time and he says he remembers Bill getting it signed so it's probably alright, I just thought I'd check!
