arfo98 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) Hi Everyone, I really hope this is OK to post here. I have a very nicely framed Lithograph of the band circa the mid 90's era. It is authentically autographed by all 3 band members. It has truly been a treasure, but due to a complete life overhaul, I have to sell it. Is anyone interested? Any interest or ideas would really be appreciated! Edited July 31, 2012 by arfo98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaked Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I'm curious... who authenticated the autographs? One thing you'll find here is that people know there are far more forgeries for sale online then legitimate items. Aside from that... you signed up for the forum just so you could post this?

arfo98 Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) I am actually one of the most honest people you would ever meet. I simply tried to reach out to other fans because E-Bay and Craigslist are just a shot in the dark. No scam, no ill intent. I just thought someone might like something that has been treasured over the years for his or her collection.

arfo98 Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 This was purchased by winning a radio station phone auction in Chicago in 1997. The winning bid was $1300! Then got it framed. Would like to sell it for $400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vital signz Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I can tell you that those autographs look legitimate. The only question is it a high def copy of the entire thing that is framed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfwayToGone Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 The only way to know is to see it in person and look to see if it's really sharpie ink sitting on top of the litho, and if it's really written by hand as opposed to an auto-pen (which is slower, so a lot more ink soaks into the paper, and there are no streaks like you'd get with a faster pen stroke). $400 may be high for this depending on the size of the frame and whether it's one of a limited edition or a unique item. It's not a vintage item, and it's not from a more legendary album, but it's definitely worth something if the signatures are real. I'd make an offer if I didn't already have a 2112 litho, hand-signed and framed, w/paperwork, etc. (long story, but let's just say I lucked out and got a ridiculous deal on it).

arfo98 Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) Hi. Thanks for your honest and sensible reply. The only thing I have to offer regarding its authenticity is my word. I wouldn't know how to make a high definition copy if my life depended on it. To try to forge anything would be futile and destructive; I am a pharmacist and I see forgeries every day. I am just a fan with a great piece of memorabilia that has been special to me. I am just trying to reach out to other fans. I am a pharmacist and a mom, and I certainly don't try to cheat anyone.

Just pointing out that if someone is going to be skeptical, then nothing short of a first-hand inspection will really prove anything. Like I said, I'd make an offer if I didn't already have something I like more. Looks good to me as best as I can tell from a web image. Someone ought to be interested.

Steve2112 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I have 2 signed Presto tour books. One I bought on a local radio station auction, and the other was from eBay. The signatures look the same on all these items I have and the one posted here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very cool. Sigs look legit. But I think you've got a 12 by 12 album flat there and not a lithograph. (Check out the printing in the lower left corner.
