Op, go with PJammer4life. Not worth taking a chance. Heartbreaking what folks do. It crushes people that buy a fake because it means more then money. Very bad to mess with selling fake signatures. They sellers are in for a rough haul at some point. It is like messing with voodoo. I get the jitters typing that word. Vapors are coming. have to lay down.
Be different & make a difference. Decency & kindness @ a grassroots level works.
First 2 letter of Eddie. Here are the examples of what I have. The V in Vedder also does not touch the e. However, I have seen some signature variations lately, but usually on a curved baseball, not flat paper.

Even some of the PSA authenticated signatures on eBay look sketchy to me. That is why officially signed/#d AP posters or albums like the Backspacer band signed are so sought after. When the signed Ohana 2020 posters are delivered, I’d check to see if Eddie has changed his signature like yours or not.

For what it's worth, here is what his signature looks like on the item listing for the signed Ohana posters. The top of E is not connecting to the top of d on Eddie and vedder has a squiggly e after V that is not present in my examples
Just checked two of my EV signatures, obtained from a very reliable source. Both have the E connected with the D and the V connected to the E. These are recent style signatures obtained in 2018 and 2019 which are more like the example the OP provided.
That said, if you have any doubts at all about authenticity I would leave it. You’ll always have the suspicion that it isn’t real.
A couple more examples to give you an idea of his lettering.

I can probably lay claim to Ed’s most rushed version of his current signature. Ed was kind enough to sign but if I wasn’t there to witness it my OCD would probably obsess over it:

Just to buy that 11x14 photo from danny clinch is 900. It's a great picture. Does anyone know what specific show that is from. If it was Stanhope NJ, I wuz there! I tried to get ev to sign something for me, but when I met him big Pete said no sigs. Had to respect that. Someone asked and he took his lp away! It was an Orpheum so easyish to replace. Honestly don't know if I'd ever put that much time in again to meet him. Plus I imagine that he wont be greeting fans up close anymore or signing anything. It was awesome and got a couple picks out of it!

That is not too bad actually. I got one from him Nov 2019 that was even more rushed than that. The "Vedder" on mine looks the same as yours, but the "E" on Eddie is in one swoop so that it almost looks like a "B". But, least I know it's real as it was done in front of me.

big pete? maybe that's the dude that kicked me off the tarmac in winnipeg in 2011.
Story please...sure it's a good one.
not as good as you probably think.
2011 canadian tour. the husband of one of my wife's co workers worked at the winnipeg airport in the area where private planes landed. he told me he knew when PJ were arriving from Ontario. 3am on a friday morning. he told me when to be there and said he could get me on the tarmac, and to bring anything i wanted signed.
i'm there. the plane lands. the band haven't deboarded yet. buddy tells me where to stand as he directs the plane where to go. some massive dude comes off the plane first. starts shouting "who the fuck is that?" at my buddy. buddy tells him. massive dude says "get him the fuck out of here".
I walk back to my car, head hung low. I was so stoked. I was the only person there. not like a throng of people. maybe the band had slept on the flight and didn't feel like talking to anyone. i get that. but i was crushed.

Oh man. Sad ^^^. I guess his job is to protect the band. That stinks.
yeah, for sure. i don't begrudge him or the band. in hindsight, it was kind of a longshot thinking the band would be ok with meeting a fan after a midnight flight, but it was my only shot. probably ever.
at least i met matt backstage at a soundgarden show in 94! LOL
"Oh Canada...you're beautiful when you're drunk" -EV 8/14/93
The night I met him people I was there with said they waited the night before and ed came out and waved and took off. I literally waited till 4am. Crazy but worth it to me. What else would I be doing. Sleeping? Naaa
i worked as a cook at a restaurant. one of the owners had his own side catering business. he won the soundgarden contract. when he found out i was going to the show, he told me he could get me and my buddy backstage. so we went backstage before and after the show. before the show, i saw chris walking by, but he was on a mission and looked unhappy, so i didn't want to run up to him to bother him. after the show we went backstage again, and i saw matt standing at one of the exit doors. i finally drummed up the courage to go say hi. and found out what he was doing looking out the door and laughing.
ben was in the parking lot where all the tour busses were. the roadies were trying to reorganize them for some reason, and it was a tight space, so it wasn't easy. ben was running around, heavily intoxicated, jumping in front of the busses while all the roadies were screaming at him to get out of the way.
me and my buddy chatted with matt for a good 20 minutes. super nice chill guy. didn't seem uncomfortable talking to two complete strangers whatsoever.
wish i had a camera or even a sharpie to sign my backstage pass. but oh well. the memory is what matters.
"Oh Canada...you're beautiful when you're drunk" -EV 8/14/93
Yes. That's great man. Just to be around at shows then is fantastic. I didn't appreciate it at the time. But glad beyond words for all the shows I've seen. I had CC jump down off climbing the rafters at a club and step in my foot! I'd never even think of chasing people down for autographs back then or ravaging the stage for picks/setlists. I could have some great historic pieces...but memories and being in the moment is where it's at. Thanks for the story!!!

yeah, it didn't cross my mind back then either. and yeah, when I was in it, I guess I just thought this is music now, this will last forever. so I didn't appreciate it either. my first PJ show was at Sun/Mudfest, and me and my friends were too "cautious" to get in the pit and really dig it. we stood back at a safe distance, which was really far back because there were tens of thousands there. I was 19! I should have been in there. I just heard too many stories of people losing their doc martens in the mud and getting boots to the head, I wanted no part of it.
looking back I wish I had. same with the soundgarden show. me and my buddy were on the floor in the pit. we stayed near the back. wish i would have been in there, like i was at all the festivals in the mid to late 90's. I was intimidated at the time.

Maybe saved yourself from getting busted up good. I jumped in the pit a lot. Most damage happened to others. I'm tall and prettly fearless. As long as you went with the flow you may get kicked in the head but that never hurts. The problem came with getting squashed with too many people. So Randalls Island we started about 10 back from the stage. A few songs in we bailed and watched from the back. I could feel my rib cage going in unnatural directions. I'm not sure when it happened, but now if there is a show. I have at least 5 sharpies pre-tested and am always pick and setlist hunting.
Sorry to derail the thread. Autograph is hot. Send me a copy. I'll take it to my wall.

Roger is a top authority on music autographs.
Here's a direct comparison between Mine (on top) and a PSA authenticated example taken from their website (on bottom)
They compare quite favorably in my opinion. But I'm no expert. Thanks everyone for your feedback.
