<p>Hi all,<br></br> <br></br> I am looking to buy a special gift for a big Pink Floyd fan and I am considering to buy a nice autographed piece. So the last couple of days I've started digging in to this (for me) unknown world of autographs. I am genuinely surprised by the amount of scams and forgeries that are out there. I think it is fair to say that 95% of everything that is offered is fake. I am starting this post to get some advise on where I can get some genuine autographs and also want to share…</p>
<p>Hi all,<br/> <br/> I am looking to buy a special gift for a big Pink Floyd fan and I am considering to buy a nice autographed piece. So the last couple of days I've started digging in to this (for me) unknown world of autographs. I am genuinely surprised by the amount of scams and forgeries that are out there. I think it is fair to say that 95% of everything that is offered is fake. I am starting this post to get some advise on where I can get some genuine autographs and also want to share some details about sellers of fake items. Hopefully this post will popup in some future Google searches to prevent someone like me from buying a forged autograph.<br/> <br/> The only reliable seller that I've identified seems to be <a href="https://floydauthentic.com/">https://floydauthentic.com/</a>, he is also member of this forum and he seems to be highly specialized in recognizing Pink Floyd specific autographs. It also seems that if you can get a copy of the "Psychedelic Renegades Deluxe" book (i.e. <a href="https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/156142289034">https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/156142289034</a>) you will get a genuine Syd Barrett signature.<br/> <br/> On the dark side we have way more people offering forgeries.<br/> Definitely be careful with Zion Graphic Collectibles, for example: <a href="https://www.ziongraphiccollectibles.com/products/pink-floyd-autographed-lp-with-syd-barrett?_pos=26&_sid=f40eca563&_ss=r">https://www.ziongraphiccollectibles.com/products/pink-floyd-autographed-lp-with-syd-barrett?_pos=26&_sid=f40eca563&_ss=r</a><br/> <br/> I am not experienced enough to comment on any deviations within the autographs, but I can check all the other signs of potential fraudulent activity. Even though this is a formally registered company, both of the addresses are literally located in the middle of nowhere. They have stock of almost every big name which is rather impossible unless you are a very big major auction company or something like that. Another sign is that the website itself has some pages that show advertisements (i.e. empty news section with ads) and the social media buttons are non functional. If you have stock of 300k in autographs I guess that you also properly maintain your website. Last, but not least, I would dare to state that having signed vinyl with all 5 Pink Floyd members is extremely rare and would fetch a significantly higher price.<br/> <br/> Some others where I am highly suspicious that they are also fraudulent:<br/> <a href="https://quarterdeckcollectibles.com/">https://quarterdeckcollectibles.com/</a> also offers on Etsy (JPsMemorabilia), i.e. <a href="https://www.etsy.com/nl/listing/1701142657/pink-floyd-original-autographed-the">https://www.etsy.com/nl/listing/1701142657/pink-floyd-original-autographed-the</a><br/> Again, a very large stock, non functioning social media buttons and the COA seems to originate from GFA which (according to this forum) does not seem to be the most reliable company.<br/> <br/> <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1653426954/pink-floyd-original-autographed-signed">https://www.etsy.com/listing/1653426954/pink-floyd-original-autographed-signed</a> (OnlyJapanVinyl)<br/> For that price I am rather certain that multiple members of this forum would have bought it already.<br/> <br/> <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/AnthonyAutographs?ref=shop-header-name&listing_id=1688189258&from_page=listing&search_query=pink+floyd">https://www.etsy.com/shop/AnthonyAutographs?ref=shop-header-name&listing_id=1688189258&from_page=listing&search_query=pink+floyd</a> (AnthonyAutographs)<br/> Large stock, located in Latvia. <br/> <br/> <a href="https://www.invaluable.com/auction-house/rock-n-scroll-guitars-mn72597pcn">https://www.invaluable.com/auction-house/rock-n-scroll-guitars-mn72597pcn</a> (Rock n Scroll Guitars), also offering on Ebay with a different name (<span>clinician12</span>): <a href="https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/196222067147">https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/196222067147</a>, prices seem to good to be true, streetview does not show a guitar shop on the given address.<br/> <br/> I am rather certain that the ones that from my point of view are suspicious are most likely all forgeries, but I would love to be challenged by a member of this forum that is actually capable in identifying deviations in the signatures itself. <br/> <br/> Above all, I would love to get some pointers towards obtaining genuine Pink Floyd autographs. If you have something within your collection that you would consider selling to me, I am open to offers (not certain if this is allowed on this forum, so please ignore this request if not allowed). <br/> <br/> And I do hope that this post will prevent future purchases from these fraudulent vendors.<br/></p> Are these 3 different sigs signed by 3 different artists or has one person signed for all 3 ?- Keane thankstag:live.autographmagazine.com,2024-03-29:3524372:Topic:19019542024-03-29T10:44:57.331ZITguy1984https://live.autographmagazine.com/profile/datitguy84

I'm the sure the opposite is true - it'll help prevent mould etc. But just thought I'd ask if anyone has any thoughts \ experiences. I'm always terrified of damaging my…</li>
