This shit is taken from one of the ebay auctions where it was sold by a well known dealer of fake Queen autographs.
According to several people from the Queen office this is clearly a genuine set of Queen signatures and I'm too stupid not to recognize that. Apparently I don't have enough experiences to recognize genuine Queen signatures.
Am I really that stupid and blind? Or did somebody intentionally lie? What am I supposed to do if a Queen member doesn't recognize his own signature, for god's sake?
(There are many more examples that I will soon present on a website but this one was the most obvious one).
This is interesting, I would have to say it would have fooled me, I have Brian's signiture signed by him for me via a business contact, and it looks pretty similar to me! but I'm not expert.
I appreciate that signatures change over time so early 70's signatures look different from 80's ones and I even appreciate that they can even be different between the start of a signing session and the end.
IMO Brians looks close but John's is way off. I think someone in the fan club hadn't been practicing for a while.
I agree with your suspicions that there was a period when the FC would routinely fake the bands autographs but I've found that that happens with most if not all fan clubs.
I've got a classic fake to send you Martin.
All 4 sigs on a Cd not released until 92 with JD's dated '89.
Currently framed and in pride of place in my local Burger King. I haven't the heart to tell them .

Also Jacky didn't notice that John always wrote "Deacon" below his first name, never on one line :-)
This is a really poor fake - I haven't seen a worse one for ages.
Well, all fake autographs were written by one hand :) Also all the Sheer Heart Attack autographs were done by one hand. The fakers don't hire any people to do the job :)
