question Wish You Were Here signed LP authenticity

Hello everyone, I need help checking if this is authentic. Picked this up online second-hand recently.

What I find curious is that two signatures from Waters and Wright have almost faded completely while the other two are still highly visible (added second image with contrast and brightness adjusted to make them more visible).

Also, the Pink Floyd doodle Mason sometimes adds looks a bit off from other examples I've seen, but I'm not sure if forgers would even bother forging a doodle.

What do you think? Thanks for your time.

Your best bet is taking this to Corey at Floyd Authentic. He’s the #1 go to for verifying Floyd autographs and I believe he does evaluations for like $10 or something close.

Nope. None of them were actually named Pink.

I'm curious myself, why the repost?

Looks like a 10 year old did it

Again, I can't speak to the rest but that Roger Waters looks pretty spot on.

Did they have black marker in the 70s? Aren’t most signatures from that period ballpoint pen?

Could’ve been signed later in time, but black marker existed in the 70s. Not uncommon for someone to have signed in black marker.
