I have authentic Johnny Marrs to compare with but these are recent and so - wishing to dot my i's and cross my t's before calling someone out in public (a long-time shyster who has been irritating me for ages - not Ebay), I would be pleased if anyone is willing to confirm my opinion that this is a laughable piece of cr#p.

Although I was a Smiths fan in the 80's and saw them many times (including Glastonbury - what a trip that was!) I had no interest in autographs, and for all I know this is how he signed his name way back then. So better safe than sorry - anyone have early autographs?
