I went to Vegas last week and saw a GNR signed photo in one hotel store and an Axl photo with the hand written Oh My God lyrics signed by Axl in another store. These lyrics weren't written on yellow hotel notepad like the pics online, these were on a nice piece of white paper. Each were around $4000 and the stores had signed guitars and autographs in each. I thought Axl's autograph was hard to get hence all the hype with the Topps card. Are these authentic and how do these shops get these autographs?
There is also a guy in my city who sells Celebrity signed autographs and he has an Axl too!
Could be a load of bullshit? Autographs are pretty easy to fake- 'certificates of authenticity' even more so! It's possible to get Axl's autograph outside shows (at least it was, on the last CD-era tour, if you were patient and lucky), but I honestly can't see him writing out the entire Oh My God lyrics then signing them for someone to flog in a store. I'd treat all that stuff with a wide berth and keep your money.
