Help please! Is this authentic

I have this item on e-bay. It's a signed advert from a programme.
It has the prince P signature and signatures from the npg. I'm told it was done in London in 1993 at a recording studio. Item Id: 261205753015

What do you all think? Is it worth much? It is in the UK but can be sent anywhere!

word of caution: I've purchased some Prince stuff from the UK, I'm always disappointed with the quality, but it looks real...

Don´t think it´s real. Prince was in conflict with Warner at the time and changed his name to 0+>. I don´t think he would sign a advert for this Prince-release.

Remember that "Come" was actually released in 1994, not 1993 ... that might give you a hint.

In the description, the seller mentions "signing sessions" at record stores in Atlanta and Paris. These actually took place in 1993, one year BEFORE "Come" was released.

I have to agree with Psyche2, come was released in late 1994 so the ad did not exist in 93. Also he changed his name to symbol after this album and would not be signing using the letter P. Most likely a fake, or someone added the P after the fact.
