I need help and opinions on the authenticity of a few autographs I have. I did not get any of these personally. There are three of them, we'll go one at a time.
This first one is on a full registered retail copy of Quake, digipak edition. My opinion it is fake. 
This one I believe to be authentic. The one just above Trent's autograph I believe to be Chris Vrenna. The one to the left of that I am unsure. They are on an insert in a black plastic case, entitled Live at the Pipeline Newmark, NJ 7/19/90. The VHS is video of that show. Apparently a bootleg. 
This last one is on the front insert of the self-titled Prick album produced by Trent. Trent's autograph does not look genuine to me. I have no clue about Kevin's (Prick) autograph. | |

I'm too sleepy to scan any of my autographs, but I can tell you that the first & third are definitely fake TR autographs... and I'd be willing to wager Kevin's bogus as well. The middle one looks the closest to his signature, but unless you were there - it's difficult to authenticate.
*edit* you can find more info in this thread: click me. *edit2* here are a few pics of my autographs... they are all authentic: 11/21/94 - At the hotel after the Tampa show. I remember TR being a little drunk and surly, but it was fucking awesome. 
11/22/99 - After the show by the tour bus in Berlin. It was fucking cold! Danny was excited to hear someone speaking English and Charlie was really happy to sign. 
10/21/05 - The Jacksonville M&G (my first show on that tour).  Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 01/14/2009 10:24PM by FULLMETAL. |

I'll put it this way: if these are fakes, the people who signed it were the most convincing impostors I've ever met:

to be honest... I think they all are fake.
when it comes to autographs I personally don't buy them ever, either it comes from TR and you are personally there to witness it.. you never know. thats why I got the ghosts ultra-limited edition!  | |

I'd like to point out I did not purchase these items because they had been autographed. I purchased a NIN lot on eBay several years ago that included the Quake and Prick items. The VHS (the middle pic) was a seperate purchase on eBay around the same time. It was the items themselves that warrented my purchasing them. I can't help but wonder about the authenticity of the autographs though. Thank you for the opinions posted thus far. Seems the general concencous goes along with my own opinions. Anyone know who that third autograph is (top left middle pic)?
P.S. That lot I purchased also included quite a few UK releases, including Head Like A Hole, March Of The Pigs, Closer To God, and We're In This Together Pts. 1, 2, and 3, as well as other odds and ends. I paid less than $40 (incl. S&H) for the entire lot.  Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 01/13/2009 12:44PM by mr_pister. | |

I posted this on the Q&A thread w/o realizing this thread existed...so I know this autograph is legit...obtained a Chicago M&G w/ TR and Peter Murphy during the NIN/Bauhaus tour. My question now is...how much to offer for it?

I assume this is authentic because I got it at the auction below but some confirmation would be nice

First of all, thanks for creating this thread. I think it will be a very useful resource for the community. I have several authentic autographed items (the first 3 items below), but I do have a question about one item that I am unsure of:
Is this "Fixed" signature real? I'm 50-50 about it. The signature flows very nicely though. Would be happy to hear some opinions about it. Thanks. 
P.S. @ mr_pister: Others have mentioned this already, but I think the second autograph is a close call. I would wager that it is authentic since the letters "T", "e", and "R" look similar to the classic Trent sigs. Edited 4 time(s). Last edit at 07/01/2009 11:04AM by Reptile072. | |

Thanks a bunch, hun! I'm way too stoopid to figure out how to post Flickr pics so I uploaded them to Photobucket. I hope you don't mind!

I recently found this shirt at a thrift store. It's a [Live_With_Teeth_2005] Tour shirt that appears to be signed by Trent in some sort of white marker. I can't tell if this is real or fake. What do you guys think?

raziel04 posted: HOLY SHIT!!! I JUST BOUGHT THE EXACT SAME SHIRT FOR $15. EXACTLY THE SAME SHIRT! LOOK! I just bought this shirt at Value Village for $15. I'm not sure about the authenticity of the autograph on the front. It's WT era and it doesn't look like it's ever been worn. 
EDIT: Now that I've looked at it and the rest of the autographed stuff in this thread, I still think this is his signature, but that it was silk-screened onto the shirt along with the logo. Like, it's his real signature, but if you look at the location of the signature on the shirt (about nine lines, ironically, over to the bottom of the "T" from the top left hand corner of the box surrounding the NIN logo.) I'm pretty sure it's still an original shirt from the factory though. The thing that has me baffled is that both of our shirts were in thrift stores. Edited 2 time(s).
