Looking for signed items
| Nicole Ridgway 15.10.2014 05:17 |
I've been looking for money worth signed items...when I run into this link do you think they are genuine? Does anybody here remember QUEEN AUTOGRAPHS website? It had a wonderful search string where you could put the link from eBay and he told if the signatures were genuine or fake. And, does anyone know RareAndSigned.com? It has brilliant expensive stuff but...is it trustworthy? |
| bootLuca 15.10.2014 05:37 |
in my humble opinion yes, they are genuine! |
| thefallenqueen 19.10.2014 07:11 |
Genuine - most likely! Price is ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! link Nice and genuine, but still too expensive for a Brian's autograph: link |
| thefallenqueen 19.10.2014 07:19 |
Rareandsigned is NOT trustworthy, they're selling a few that look "nice" but I would not buy from them. There are a lot of fake Queen on their website. Look at the ANATO or AKOM album sleeves, they are fake... send me a pm if you need help with purchasing a genuine autograph... |
| Nicole Ridgway 21.10.2014 15:11 |
thanks for help...what about this? link |
| BETA215 21.10.2014 17:08 |
Mary Austin wasn't in Rio? |
| thefallenqueen 23.10.2014 03:31 |
Looks genuine but I would NEVER buy a single autograph from an unknown seller. A single autograph can be faked very easily so I wound only buy complete sets that ALL look good. Anyway, at this price you will get a complete set of autographs, still too much in my mind. I bought my first set of autographs on an Innuendo promo sheet in 1997 for less than 200 Euros. The price would be 10 times higher today, totally nuts :-) |
| bayly 26.10.2014 10:44 |
What I see lately on rrauction is the same Freddie's signature supposely authentic, certified by Epperson. On autograph magazine nobody contradicts him but I see forgeries being sold very expensive. What do you think fallenqueen? |
| Nicole Ridgway 27.10.2014 06:33 |
link what about this? Roger's signature seems veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery fake |
| thefallenqueen 27.10.2014 09:41 |
There are good fakes around and there are fakes like these :-) |
| bayly 27.10.2014 10:23 |
Yes. And 5 bids on this! On ebay there are lots of forgeries. But the 'flash' one is one of the ugliest I've seen |
| bayly 27.10.2014 10:59 |
And from Rareandsigned you can find several authentic signatures: just Anita Dobson's ones, of course. |
| thefallenqueen 27.10.2014 14:17 |
Yeah, Rareandsigned.com must have been very good friends to Freddie as they are selling a lot of Freddie autographs :-) I'm parting with some autographs from my collection to raise money for my new home stereo system, first of the list on ebay today. Quite expensive but unique collection of items that have to be sold as a set I think: link |
| bayly 27.10.2014 14:32 |
Great and genuine items! You won't have any problems to sell them. I will tell some friends about it and they'll probably contact you. Hope to see more items from your collection! |
| Nicole Ridgway 28.10.2014 08:13 |
I was just browsing the eBay and run into this page...CONGRATULATIONS!!! It's a WONDERFUL set...I wish I had 1200 to pay... :( |
| Nicole Ridgway 28.10.2014 16:22 |
what about these fakes? link link |
| bayly 29.10.2014 01:26 |
I wouldn't call them fakes. They are VERY fakes. |
| Nicole Ridgway 29.10.2014 09:38 |
link Freddie's one seems good, but Roger must have been drunk :/ |
| Nicole Ridgway 29.10.2014 09:46 |

| Nicole Ridgway 31.10.2014 05:56 |
Uhm...OK. Gonna buy THIS ONE link :) :) :) how fake is this? :D |
| bayly 31.10.2014 09:34 |
Nicole some sellers accept an instalment plan so that you can pay litle by litle the signed item. When you finish the payment, then the seller will send it to you. It's a good way to buy something expensive. Just ask a seller... Freddie is never cheap. |
| thefallenqueen 01.11.2014 11:53 |
Nicole Ridgway wrote: Uhm...OK. Gonna buy THIS ONE link :) :) :) how fake is this? :DI wouldn't call it fake, there are several copies of this contract around, the signatures look perfect as seen that way on many official documents. You really don't know too much about Queen autographs... |
| Thistle 01.11.2014 15:19 |
The signatures are good, although the item itself may be a print. |
| bayly 02.11.2014 02:15 |
I thought the same as thistleboy. You risk your money and don't know if it's a print |
| thefallenqueen 02.11.2014 03:17 |
As i said, there are several copies around... The story behind is that contracts were signed in numerous copies. Still quite weitd is the fact that only this single contract from 76 popped up to date. I wouldn't buy it though the signatures do look genuine! |
| Nicole Ridgway 03.11.2014 03:53 |
thefallenqueen wrote: You really don't know too much about Queen autographs...I admit I don't know much about them. That's why I regret queenautographs.com has closed. That site had a chronological history of Queen's signatures starting from the 70's until freddie's death, with GENUINE pix from GENUINE collectors. But some stupid eBay users insulted the webmaster and he decided to close down the site. Anyway, thanks for help. |

link Be careful with this one! Ugly fake. |
| bayly 04.11.2014 11:16 |
link 3000???? Cow pats. |
| Nicole Ridgway 04.11.2014 15:17 |
@bayly: well, I'm italian. And I can tell you, TRATTAZZIONE is written with one Z... And yes, The Miracle is super fake. And IMHO also Live Killers is a bad fake. I think, you can see clearly how the pen has been passed twice on each signature |
| Thistle 04.11.2014 16:00 |
Yes, the LK is traced. Really horrible. |
| bayly 05.11.2014 06:32 |
link 15 BIDS??? REALLY??? |
| thefallenqueen 05.11.2014 08:51 |
Two more beauties from my collection... link link |
| Nicole Ridgway 05.11.2014 09:08 |
Wonderful stuff, I LOVE the miracle sleeve...but also GH1 is nice. It's a shame in the GH1 you can't see the signatures clearly :( Maybe because of the pictures? Are you planning to sell other signed stuff? |
| bayly 05.11.2014 09:34 |
Wow! |
| thefallenqueen 05.11.2014 09:53 |
Nicole Ridgway wrote: Wonderful stuff, I LOVE the miracle sleeve...but also GH1 is nice. It's a shame in the GH1 you can't see the signatures clearly :( Maybe because of the pictures? Are you planning to sell other signed stuff?well I'm selling some of my autograph collection to raise money for an expensive tube amp. There are some more I'll try to sell if those three won't find a new home. It's not that I really want to part from these treasures so if one or two sell I might stop the other auction(s)... there's one set of Brian/John/Freddie I'll upload later today, I also upped some close-ups from the Miracle album... the GH album, of course it's not only the picture that makes the signature look unclearly, it's signed in dark biro on dark background, so how could it be any better? Anyway, there are not many of the GH album covers to find - for some weird reason! Also interesting fact: biro won't fade as soon as usual Edding markers. I have a signed Innuendo promo sheet, signed in blue Edding, it's more of a faded blue/grey today... |
| bayly 05.11.2014 10:15 |
The miracle should be sold by the end of the day. And the Innuendo signed would be a dream come true. |
| bayly 05.11.2014 10:15 |
Again: WOW |
| thefallenqueen 05.11.2014 10:26 |

| bayly 05.11.2014 10:44 |
Oooooohhhh. What a shame! A friend of mine wants the miracle for 500 euros. What do you think? |
| bayly 05.11.2014 10:53 |
I've told him that it's not enough lol |

| thefallenqueen 05.11.2014 15:06 |
At least that's my expierience. Anyway you should't expose directy to UV light eg hanging next to window in the sun. I made this mistake with a set of signed b/w photos sigmed in the early 80s. The signatures are almost gone after only 2 years but still a bit visible as the biro scratched them into the surface... |
| thefallenqueen 05.11.2014 15:10 |
b/w photos... |

on ebay during the next days... |

He's having problems with the page: he's aware there are new requests, but an FB error is preventing him from accepting just now. He's working on it ;) |
| Nicole Ridgway 19.12.2014 03:59 |
Hello people, what do you think about these? What would be a fair price? |
| Nicole Ridgway 19.12.2014 04:12 |
And what about this? thefallenqueen, did you sell all of your stuff? |
