Question
I bid on and won a concert program and t-shirt from the circle tour. the signature for tico was barely there. It was a t. and the t-shirt had the size tag torn out. I have been trying to get the bands signature for ever. So I think you can understand that if it's ligit I don't really want to part with it. however the other sites that carry bon jovi memorabilia is way out of my price range. But for $76.00, I feel I deserve the real deal. Can you help fix my problem? I am really upset. And I don't know what to do. All I have ever wanted is a photo of the band with all of their signatures. Is that to much to ask for? I don"t know if I should send this back or not. Please help me. Heck I'd be happy if you could get them to sign a photo and sent it with coa, so I won't have to wonder if it's really their signatures or not. Thank you for any help you can supply, I will be more greatful than I could ever put into words. But, I can tell you right now I feel like a fool.

Answer

Hi again Yvonne
I do agree with what you are saying.Unfortunatly getting autographs is hard work.
Most fans hang outside hotels where band is staying or around Tv or radio station where band members maybe appearing.
This tour VIP tickets are being sold and you get an autographed programme with this.
The programme you have may be one of these programs .If so it would be a genuine autograph.Sometimes the band member do sign badly .They sometimes only sign there initial or sometimes just a mark of some kind..Maybe with Tico's autograph he may have signed a million programmes and unluckily your programme got a crappy autograph from him
Why don't you email the seller and ask how he/she got the programme.
In December i am going to some shows in Australia and have VIP tickets and will be getting a couple of programmes autographed.
I would be willing to sell one of these programmes to you for whatever the programmes cost at the shows plus postage.
These autographs would be genuine I am sure.
If you contact me again after Christmas we could arrange something.
Take Care

Hi
As this is an Ebay purchase.You would be best going back to the seller and telling them about the problem and hope that they will give you a refund.You need to be very careful buying any autographs on Ebay.
The signature could very well be Tico's but who's to say.
I am sorry I cant help you with getting a autographed photo from the band for you.
I understand how you must be feeling.
I hope you can reach some reasoning with the seller and things do turn out OK for you
