Coldplay autograph experts: Is this legit?

mrman78 · 16-03-2010, 10:51 PM

I just bought this off Ebay, since it seemed like a great deal and I needed another copy of Live 2003... My other one is

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=150419573922

Anyway, I did a 'Best Offer' thing and it first didn't get accepted, but second did and I was kind of surprised.

Based on the sigs, it looks real to me. The seller also has a TON of positive reviews AND accepts returns, so that also leads me to thinking (hoping!) it is real!

I just wanted some comparisons from those who have obtained autographs in person and those who won stuff in the End of Decade auction!!

I've wanted a signed item for so damn long, and since I doubt I'll ever meet them and I didn't win anything in the Auction, this is the next best thing!

So, opinions?

Is there a way you can actually get it officially authenticated?

Nice find, it looks legit to me, but I don't have an autograph I have just seen them, but sellers who have great feedback generally can be trusted to be legit.

Space Cadet · 17-03-2010, 04:51 AM

Looks pretty good to me. Could have been traced, I suppose- it's very tidy, but that's definitely what their sigs look like.

Could you possibly ask the seller if he has any proof? Could be legit, or could be a really nice scan. You never know unless there's a certificate of authenticity.

I'm never buying anything from EBAY ever again after I bought this "IPod". If only people could have seen what came in the mail

Looks real to me

Tell us!

mrman78 · 17-03-2010, 05:38 PM

Thanks guys...

Yeah, apparently it does come with a COA. I've been reading their feedback, they have over 3000 and it's 99% positive. There are other signed items that were sold too by other artists.

Anyway, I'm thinking it's real. I guess if I find out otherwise in a reasonable amount of time I can return it

I don't know, I bougth a partiture of Trouble with their autographs (will, guy, chris and jonny), and I'm sure it's original, but everytime the signatures look so different when I compare with other! So, here my partiture...

Wow! Nice! Both look legit, but obviously you would never really know for sure.

Some people are very good at forging signatures.

You're right... That's so sad...

But I think my partiture do part of several other and it received the autographs in some moment when the guys start that activity, and later, they send all the stuffs with signs for some people... I don't know how and what the name of that activity...

I believe that be something like the photo bellow, where Guy is signing photos and cds, etc.

I don't have a "Certificate of Authenticity" for my album that got signed, so therefore it must be fake. Those certificates can be forged anyway

Sirhc · 18-03-2010, 09:09 AM

I recently saw a signed frame on eBay where Jonny signed his name as Johnny

Very legit, the seller said.

Done by! Gum by! In a cave in the hills he dwelt alone, And meat was hard to come by. Up came Tom with his big boots on. Said he to Troll: 'Pray, what is yon? For it looks like the shin o' my nuncle Tim, As should be a-lyin' in graveyard. Caveyard! Paveyard! This many a year has Tim been gone, And I thought he were lyin' in graveyard.' 'My lad,' said Troll, 'this bone I stole. But what be bones that lie in a hole? Thy nuncle was dead as a lump o' lead, Afore I found his shinbone. Tinbone! Thinbone! He can spare a share for a poor old troll, For he don't need his shinbone.' Said Tom: 'I don't see why the likes o' thee Without axin' leave should go makin' free With the shank or the shin o' my father's kin; So hand the old bone over! Rover! Trover! Though dead he be, it belongs to he; So hand the old bone over!' 'For a couple o' pins,' says Troll, and grins, 'I'll eat thee too, and gnaw thy shins. A bit o' fresh meat will go down sweet! I'll try my teeth on thee now. Hee now! See now! I'm tired o' gnawing old bones and skins; I've a mind to dine on thee now.' But just as he thought his dinner was caught, He found his hands had hold of naught. Before he could mind, Tom slipped behind And gave him the boot to larn him. Warn him! Darn him! A bump o' the boot on the seat, Tom thought, Would be the way to larn him. But harder than stone is the flesh and bone Of a troll that sits in the hills alone. As well set your boot to the mountain's root, For the seat of a troll don't feel it. Peel it! Heal it! Old Troll laughed, when he heard Tom groan, And he knew his toes could feel it. Tom's leg is game, since home he came, And his bootless foot is lasting lame; But Troll don't care, and he's still there With the bone he boned from its owner. Doner! Boner! Troll's old seat is still the same, And the bone he boned from its owner!" Albums of the Year 2011 - Vote Here!
