Some rushed and/or atypical traits but I’d lean to likely genuine.  I wouldn’t personally want to own it. 

Its been  up for sale a number of times before

Do you mean that as a positive or negative?  

I’m still quite divided on it really.  You can ignore any REAL COA with it as it’s nearly worthless when accompanying a Queen item. 

In this  case I meant it as a negative 

Yes it is quite a divisive item. A genuine NATO album is a £5-£7k item so I’d want to be 100% which I’m not with this one.

I’d look for one from the signing session they did.  The one’s where Freddie signed in green.  They come up more often than you think. 

The other thng to bear in mind is that rr's return policy has changed so you have to npw be really sure if you buy an autograph worth $100 or $100000.  You only have a month to produce another coa contradicting REAL.'s verdict which is not a long time

Which we both know is virtually impossible to do as their turnaround is longer than that.  Especially for buyers outside the US. 

And yet they all work with scans.

Do they?  I’ve wanted a couple of things certifying and they’ve insisted on me sending the items to them.  If you’re in their clique maybe things are different. 

The insured return postage and potential customs charges made it too prohibitive.  They need UK / EU agents.

Yes, most all items in catalogs are "pre-certified" from scans, IMO. These auction houses can't be sending everything everywhere. Probably due to some of the concerns you mentioned.

They are a good company and will pull items that are questionable regularly. I visited them once. They asked my opinion on a 20's Swanson. I don't buy anything I'm not already 100% sold on with my own skills. I don't give a      about papers. I still do the same work. RR are better than a lot of places. Bobby and Bill are great resources with much knowledge.

Changing hands a lot and other things - I'd just avoid.
