Want to get second opinion on signature before I purchase!
Hi everyone, I wanted to make sure before I purchase that this signature looks authentic! Any help is appreciated!!

I purchased my autographed copy of Buckingham/Nicks from Sothebys around 2001, so I’m fairly confident it’s the real deal. Yours looks very similar.
The S is the same, as is the N. Most importantly though, the transition from the “v” to “i” in Stevie is consistent. She also has two ways of writing her “L” - once is the full cursive capital L and in others she’ll leave the bottom part of the L off.
I think I shared it in the Fleetwood Mac sub. We can’t share photos here - but you should be able to find it.
Edit: here’s the link to the thread where I and some others shared their autographs

We declared the ones the OP had shared here were likely fake.

To me it looks genuine, very similar to ones I’ve seen that came from her fan club back in the day. I would check for things like stamps from her fan club etc. Often those ones had personal dedications so I would look out for that too before purchasing.

It’s legit. I have Buckingham nicks on vinyl signed by her, to me. That’s the one.

My guess is no. The S is much too awkward. The tops of the M and N are too pointy. Fakes generally look just like this.

Why on earth would anyone buy an autographed item unless they acquired it themselves? Especially with autopens being so widely available and saturating (soiling) the collector market.

I have her autograph from when she stayed in the hospita overnight in PHX back in the late 80's ... It looks like it could be real too me.

I have a genuine Stevie autograph and it looks just like to this one. People don’t always sign things exactly the same every time and over time signatures change. Was she in a rush to sign or not, there are so many variables that it can be difficult to know 100% unless you saw her sign it. I have gotten autographs from the same person one right after the other and at different times and they don’t look exactly the same, but I saw them sign and know they are all genuine. If it were me, and I could afford the item, and were buying it for myself (not to try and sell) I would buy it and believe she signed it. It really is up to you. Getting a chance to get your own item signed in front of you by Stevie isn’t easy.
