QUEEN - AUTOGRAPHES.

, 23:19pm

Bienvenu dans la section Autographes. Mon but est de vous aider à reconnaître les autographes authentiques des membres du groupe Queen.Je suis dégoûte par la quantité,astronomique de faux qui sont à vendre sur des sites de ventes aux enchéres, particulièrement sur eBay.

Je met a votre disposition des photos d'authentiques autographes.

A vous maintenant de faire la par des choses et de ne pas suspécter,sans discernement,un faux dans votre colléction,ni mettre en doute arbitrairement un site ou en vendeur.

La tache est ardue mais nécessaire,pour ne pas tomber dans les filets de ces éscrocs.

1 PARTIE : LES AUTOGRAPHES DIT "GENUINE" (authentique).

Genuine signatures - Rare early Queen signatures on a 1973 flyer. This is what the signatures looked like in the first half of 70's.

Bournemouth, 30.11.1973

Genuine signatures - One of the few genuine signed items on eBay :-)

Sur Ebay

Genuine signatures - Beautiful signatures obtained in Holiday Inn in Birmingham (2.4.1974).

Holiday Inn a Birmingham (2.4.1974).

Early signatures of Freddie and Brian, signed on a piece of paper. They may look strange to you but are genuine!

An early letter (April 1974) - once again, these signatures are typical for the 1973-1978 period.

Typical Queen signatures from those days...

Genuine signatures - Not very nice signatures but I'm sure they're genuine.

Pas trés belles signatures,mais authentiques.

Very rare message from the Queen members to readers of famous Japanese magazine 'Music Life'. Signed either in 1975 or 1976.

Ugly Freddie's signature? Yes but that's typical for that era. This LP comes from Ratty's personal collection.

Once again a genuine but ugly Freddie's signature from 1975.

Something from 1975 - most Brian's signatures from that era look exactly like this.

Another typical Brian's signature from mid 70's.

Roger's signature. When he was in good mood, he often added a nice graphic version of the word 'Queen'. Probably from mid 70's.

Genuine signatures - Signatures on official documents were different. Brian often signed as B.H.May while Freddie shortened his first name to just "F". But if you see "FMercury" on an LP, it's almost certainly fake!

Signed spring 1978 tour programme, signatures obtained by Joe Trovato (lighting director).

Christmas card from Freddie to his friends, I estimate it's from mid-late 70's.

Brian's signature from 1978 - still looked like in the early years.

Signatures on a Live Killers LP, probably from 1979.

Freddie, Brian and Roger in 1978.

2ème PARTIE: LES AUTOGRAPHES DIT "FAKE" (falsifier, imiter, faux).

Typical fakes from the official fan club.

New kind of fakes - Roger's signature looks pretty good.

Same kind of fakes as on the left.

Sold by seller 'galvinmoondust' on ebay. Very good fakes, this dealer has already quite mastered the skill of faking signatures.

Same description as on the left. Seller 'galvinmoondust' is selling such fakes on ebay very often. Avoid at all cost!

These are on ebay very often.

Same as the previous example.

Very very good fakes. Beware!

Same example as the previous signatures.

Very often on ebay - thank god these are poor and easy to recognize.

Pretty good "B" in Brian's name - but the rest is sh*t.

Fake signatures - Taken from a recent ebay auction. Not bad fakes, John's signature is in fact similar to his real one. Again, these were obviously done by one hand, just notice the similarities in handwriting.

Fake signatures - Genuine signatures but PRINTED!!! Often it's difficult to recognize printed signatures from the real ones. Be careful! This one was printed by Elena Uocha from Italy.

Very good fakes, common fans may be confused.

These are often on ebay these days. John's looks good but they're all fake! Beware! The fakers are improving their skills.

Very poor fakes.

I wouldn't bet my life on this - all four signatures look good but I still am quite sure they're fake. Just look at John's "J".

Marked by the fan club as genuine, yet definitely fake - actually VERY POOR fakes

J'admet que la plupart des faux sont criant de vérité.Mais a la longue,Croyez-en mon expérience,l'oeil ne se trompe pas.
Alors,à vos lunettes,lentilles,loupe ou autres accéssoires pour déjouer les pièges de nos amis les faussaires.
