Bod Dyaln autograph.

[Jack.S]

I found this on ebay and I was wondering if anyone here could tell me if it was authentic or not.

Any help would be greatly apreciated!

Hey buddy, I am afraid I cannot help specifically with this auto. However, I can warn you- Ebay is alleged to consist of approx. 75% forgeries. Add to that, Dylan has a reputation for NOT signing, and the odds are against you. Unless someone can stake their reputation on it being real, I personally would not risk it.

How much is it?

[Jack.S]

No one has bid on it yet so the starting bid is £19.99. The seller is also selling other autographed LP sleeves if that means anything.

[Jaffer]

20 pounds for a Bob Dylan signature? Either this guy is completely ignorant to how much autographs cost ( a possibility), or there is something fishy

[Jack.S]

I know £20 is quite low but it could well go up much higher than that and I think that is what he is expecting.
Thanks for your help Jaffer .

Also any comments on this one's authenticity would be greatly appreciated also: http://i52.tinypic.com/103h7q1.jpg

Thats about as fake as they come...walk..no RUN away from it!!

[Jack.S]

Which one are you talking about? Also may I ask on what basis are you making this judgement?

[ultimateager]

i agree thats its fake... there's no reason to start the bid at 19.99 because listing fees are all the same anymore. sellers used to lower the starting price because it was cheaper to list, but now that isn't the case. and there's a reason there's no bids on it. i wouldn't buy anything of his that isn't authenticated already by a reputated 3rd party b/c like JAFFER said, he's nearly impossible to get now IP/VV/TTM or any other method.

[Jack.S]

It does come with a COA, which I know doesn't really mean a great deal, which I can post a picture of if you want to see if it looks legit. Does anyone think the second one I posted is real or not?

[ultimateager]

the 2nd one looks a little closer, but no cigar for me. even at a $250 BIN that seems cheap to me.

again, anything without a PSA/JSA/UD/Tristar or other reputable certificate of authenticity i would not purchase especially on an item such as mr. dylan.

nobody is 100% accurate in authenticating signatures but the companies i listed are pretty dang good at it. if you find a COA from another company, make sure to research it. you can find anything on the internet, and if you can't then i'd be cautious
