Since no one answered your question, let me just say I'm not interested in autographs, and couldn't care less for autographs from celebs because it doesn't do anything for me. But if someone has a fancy for it, what seems like you do, I hope you find what you're looking for, and not a forged one, which could be harder to find. Maybe you should check Ebay.

I have a signed NPG 'Exodus' CD. The band signed in silver and Prince signed 'Tora Tora' in gold.

Hasn't got the kudos of him signing as 'Prince' on a Purple Rain cover, I admit, but I enjoyed the day I got it. Later that same evening, someone I met in the queue at the signing blagged us into the 'White Room' recording. I think she sold advertising in the Daily Mirror, and used her staff ID (and a lot of bottle) to say she was from the Press and was writing an article about Prince!lol

I have a Sign of the times postcard that was signed during an in-store signing session in 1988. I got it some year later from a girl who used to love Prince but now she was not interested anymore. She sent it to me for some dollar, and imagine my surprise when I saw not only Prince's signature ("Love god, P88"), but also Cat's and Sheila's on the back!

how the hell do you tell that they are fake? See, that's the problem with autographs. The signing of them is like a UFO sighting.

As far as I'm concerned, ALL autographs are fakes, unless I was there at the signing! Seeing is believing!

the only answer I can give is: experience. I've collected signatures of some artists (Prince included) for 10 years , so my eye has practice. I know that signatures may look just scribbles, but it's not so easy to fake them.
