Any chance this is real?

in The Porch
Friend of mine found this in Value Village today (a Canadian 2nd hand chain store).   I don't think these are legit autograph's, but you never know...

    Sigs can vary so much and especially early ones signed in a real hurry, rather than the sit down signed charity items for example, but my view those look too 'off' especially Ed's to be even real signed in a hurry.

    Yah, when comparing them to autographs on ebay, only Stone's looks kind of close.   Some of the letters to look kind of familiar on the other ones, but not generally how they are signed on the ebay stuff (but as one poster mention, look a bit more like older signed stuff).  I'll give it a 75% chances probability of being fake, and 25% being real.

    Maybe someone was messing around with it, and time forgot it, and it ended up in the 2nd hand store.

    Seems like its a decent chance they are legit early signatures.

    I have a sticker Ed signed for me in 1994 and a copy of Into the Wild that he signed for my friend in 2009, and this autograph doesn't look like either one of those (and they don't look like each other), but who knows?

    The fact that the signatures are in two colors could suggest that these were signed at different times by the different band members. (Or it could suggest someone trying to fake that.)
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    When the FBI did a big investigation into faked sports memorabilia like 15 years ago, they estimated that up to 90% of autographs were faked.

    Unless it’s an autograph you obtained in person, I would treat everything else as fake. Doesn’t matter if it comes with a certificate of authenticity or whatnot, there’s really no way of knowing. That’s the way I think about autographs anyway.

    Looks goodish. I got a signed Ramones cd for a buck at a church sale. Didn't know it was signed til i got home. Super legit. Ask Ed or Mike someday. Stone won't remember.. nice!

    Hi,
    There are the big three authorization businesses for signatures,  Beckett, PSA-DNA, and James Spence Authorization.  Beckett Authorization will take a look at it (you can download a photo on the website).  It costs $10.  it's not the full authorization process. you won't have the certificate or sticker.  It's just a quick opinion.  
    Having it authorized is not a 100% guarantee that it is authentic.

    This one is on eBay WITH a JSA authentication.  I’m dubious.
