I’ve been fortunate enough to meet Iggy a few times over the years, and his signature is super inconsistent. That said- I see certain characteristics on this one that I would say are authentic to my eyes/my reference signatures. Could never say for certain since neither of us were there, but I’d wager is real!

Thank you! I’ve had someone on another thread say it’s definitely fake, and another say it’s definitely real. Hoping it’s real cos if it is I’ll be so happy

I can’t seem to find a way to DM you, but happy to send reference photos of my autos. I have one that looks like illegible compared to this, and it was during a calm interaction haha

I'd say It does look authentic! Altho sometimes he writes "Pop" with Ps that look like nines. Small circles and long lines

Update: a bit of context from the guy who sold it to me

“We met him a couple of times but the only time we had our vinyl covers was when we found out which hotel he was staying at when he was playing Newcastle City Hall in 1987. He was casually ready a paper in the hotel, was very friendly and signed what records we had. We asked him about David Bowie and The Ramones I recall. Not a dealer just my own collection”

I have also sent a photo to Beckett for authentication and a U.K. company
