In 2009 I unwittingly bought what was very likely a fake item (an LP album cover autographed by all four members of Queen) from a reputable high street dealer of signed memorabilia in a popular U.K. tourist destination. After I had sought specialist advice from a knowledgeable collector and challenged the retailer, he accepted the item back and refunded my money in full.
Since then I have acquired a number of items signed by Brian May from official sources: Barry Moorhouse at Brian May Guitars, an in person meet and greet at the SSE Hydro arena in December 2017 and direct from his equipment technician, Pete Malandrone via charity auction at an enthusiast meet.
My YouTube content for January is a brief video lasting less than five minutes which aims to provide some insights and tips on how to identify and obtain authentic items signed by the Queen band members, Brian May, Freddie Mercury, Roger Taylor and John Deacon.
Some of the content has caption credits in video (thanks to Jamie Rail, Shawn Leaver and Brian May via Instagram). I have extracted clips from other YouTube channel content under the fair usage policy. Photographs of signed Queen memorabilia also came from the following sources:
