i found this on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/The-Doors-Signed-45 ... dZViewItem

the price is obscene, but is real?

No.

thanks,

How can you see that it is not real?
I got know idea how to see that, except to just look at the autographs and compare them with what we know are the real ones.

Start with Ray's.

Well yeah, my autographs of Ray & Robby are definately different, but when they signed them they were a lot older.
So if I'm correct, the only way you can see that they're fake is the shape of the autographs? Or there must be a total ass who is selling an autographed cd with the autograph of Jim on...

The Morrison auto looks real to me. Also, Ray in the early days, signed his full name. The D in Densmore seems to be consistent to what he has signed in the past. Same with Robby's sig. I just feel these are real. Would I pay $3,500 for the 45? Nope.

Now I'm confused... Aaaargh!

Then this is a way better price: http://item.express.ebay.com/THE-DOORS- ... xpressItem

That one looks like shit too.
They all signed with the same pen on a severely ring-worn album?
I doubt it.

Notice how sloppy Ray's is, also notice the slash on the M which I think is an anachronism that went unnoticed by the forger.
Also, once again with the ring-wear.
How can you expect to have perfect signatures with that much ring-wear?
They had all of four years to put that much wear on it and THEN get it signed.

Well it's just very hard to tell.
When I was backstage at a Riders gig in Holland I got 4 sig's from Ray and they all look different.
I'd say the sig's on the 45 are real, but it's just to big of a gamble.

Even Robby did a sloppy one, but it will always be the real thing.Fact is, one should never buy sig's on eBay cuase most of them, if not 99% are fakes
