It does. But like I said, Ville's signature on that magazine is not nearly as clean & neat as the one above. It looks as if someone was really trying hard to forge. I'm not an expert by any means. I just don't think that one is real. If the person selling it to you has no proof of it being real I wouldn't buy it.

Good Luck.

i found the autograph through a dealer who is selling off his collection

[quote="Lozza 666"]only reason i wasnt doubting the HIM one was because all the other members look spot on - ive seen afew of his older autographs look like that. Example below (uploaded it to my photobucket as i couldnt load it up here)

Thanks for the input though :)


Also what is your opinion on tre cool's and mike dirnt's signatures? also fakes? (assuming yes if you believe billie's is)[/quote]

Some band members sigs are easier to forge then others. I haven't studied Mike's autograph, so I couldn't really tell you. But I do know Tre cool's is very easy to forge.

The pictures of autographs that you are finding to compare to, are you making sure they are authentic or are you just going to google images & typing in Green Day autograph & seeing what comes up?

If you want to purchase the HIM autograph, go for it. But I would really advise against it. I've been a HIM fan for years and I honestly have never seen Ville sign like that. Ever. I've never seen his signature 'clean' and 'neat' like that.

Here is a JSA authenticated sig of Villes:

It looks like a girl signed that one.

Also, I strongly believe that the Green Day one is fake too. The Billie Joe, like you said looks funny and it throws the entire thing off. Here are some PSA pics of Billie's autograph. All of them the B is much different than the one on the photo you may buy. The bottom of the B loops into the I in Billie.

I am a little skeptical on the HIM autograph..

Ville's autograph, if it's the heartagram looking one looks nothing like my in person:

Yes, his signature incoporates the heartagram signature but he never writes out anything in the middle like that shows.

If you go on Ebay and check Ville Valo PSA or HIM PSA autographs or something you can compare autographs.

I wouldn't buy it.. It looks too 'clean'

As you can see below green day signatures vary greatly online:

Hi guys, i have two autographs i want checked (dont own them yet but they are for sale and being offered to me)

First:
Green day (Full Band)
[img]http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu233/Brplat/100_2981.jpg[/img]
My opinion: i think it could be real, but might be fake. Looking on ebay there are so many different autos from these guys. To me Tre Cool's looks spot on, and Mike Dirnt's looks fine just billie's is the one casting doubt - but i suppose if one is proven real i would assume all are real (as who would get an authentic sig then mess it up by signing fake ones on it)

Second:
HIM (Full Band)
[img]http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu233/Brplat/100_3135.jpg[/img]
[img]http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu233/Brplat/100_3136.jpg[/img]
My opinion: i think authentic personally.

Any help would be great!
