デヴィッド・ボウイさんのインスタグラム写真 - (デヴィッド・ボウイInstagram)「HOW TO IDENTIFY A REAL BOWIE SCRIBBLE “I asked for an autograph...” There have been some great Bowie resources online over the years. Evan Torrie’s Teenage Wildlife (sadly, now defunct), Paul Kinder’s bowiewonderworld.com, Ruud Altenberg’s illustrated-db-discography.nl, Chas Pearson’s bowie-singles.com, Roger Griffin's bowiegoldenyears.com and David Fowler’s @bowieonthecoverofamagazine Instagram page to name but a few. The latest very useful site that you may have already stumbled upon, is Andy Peters’ superb davidbowieautograph.com (temp link in bio). It’s a fascinating resource with a great blog and some very useful tips if you’re looking to purchase David Bowie’s autograph. Of course, you can only be certain you have the real thing if you were there witnessing the signing or if you received a Bowie autograph in an official contest, or an equally reliable source.

We've gotten a little worried recently by the number of fake signatures, posters and albums that have been placed for sale on eBay and hope that "Blams Little Spot" will guide you through the no-no's. + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + Although we did post some basic info back then (nearly twenty years ago), davidbowieautograph.com goes into forensic detail, but without giving everything away. We’ve tried to catch Andy out with pretty accurate fakes and Bowie autographs that look like fakes that we know to be real. He’s never got it wrong. We’re not saying that he’ll never ever get caught out, but for the novice collector, it’s a great place to start before you cough up your hard-earned. #davidbowieautograph」1月3日 7時56分
