mrman78 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 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 :dead: :shame: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150419573922 Anyway, I did a 'Best Offer' thing and it first didn't get accepted, but second did and I was kind of surprised. :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! :dozey::lol: So, opinions? :uhoh: Is there a way you can actually get it officially authenticated?

MartinFan Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 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.:\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Cadet Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Looks pretty good to me. Could have been traced, I suppose- it's very tidy, but that's definitely what their sigs look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldplay_is_louve. Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 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. :shrug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buxus vahlii Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 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 :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrman78 Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 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 :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both look legit, but obviously you would never really know for sure. :\ Some people are very good at forging signatures. :shrug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both look legit, but obviously you would never really know for sure. :\ Some people are very good at forging signatures. :shrug: 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...:confused: I believe that be something like the photo bellow, where Guy is signing photos and cds, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobalt Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 You never know unless there's a certificate of authenticity. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason-DeBord Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Here is an example of the risks in collecting autographs: Lawsuits And Controversy Over Autographed Memorabilia With Doctored Celebrity Signing Photos I write a lot of articles about memorabilia fraud, and I would put little faith into COAs and/or eBay feedback, generally speaking. I've helped to expose sellers with thousands of positive feedback and certificates of authenticity as frauds. I personally only collect autographs if I personally obtain them or if they come from a "direct" source (i.e. a company officially licensed to represent the maker of the autograph). Autographs in particular are very easy to fake, especially in the Internet/Photoshop era. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, good thing is, if it's a fake it didn't cost me much, and if it's real it didn't cost me much, so it'll be good for now :lol: Maybe one day I'll be able to find out if it's real or not, or I'll actually be able to get one in person! :wacky: At least I have another copy of Live 2003 I can watch as well :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dry_pretzels Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Anyone familiar with this? Coldplay Butterfly Painting - Chrysalis Collection Keech Hospice Care Jason I think it's part of a charity that Coldplay participated in, and that was the artwork they decided to submit. http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=67870 EDIT: The seller seems like the real charity, so I'd say that the butterfly painting is real. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
