Any thoughts on authenticity on this Beatles set signed in 1963. It is signed on a 4x6 card. And what would be a fair price?

Thank you all in advance.

I think it requires larger, crisper images. And what happened to the top half of the L in Paul?

This was the best picture I could get in the store. Sorry about the quality of the picture.
The sets are worth thousands collector's are paying 6000 and up, if the sets real. Where was it signed?

Steve, if you look closely at the Paul, it looks like a piece of the paper is missing.  I think the signatures are fine as long as its not a copy.

Terrier,

I agree, part of the paper looks missing from Paul's "L" or it's covered with something. 

The signatures do look very good.

Powerful piece. Looks like a seated Paul, the rest standing signatures, maybe one or two actually on the move, unsupported by a rigid surface. Everything looks right, nothing really stands out as implausible. Ink, paper, angles, starts, terminus', it's all there. I can't imagine even the best of Beatles authenticators turning this one down as a fake. All good in my opinion, a fantastic piece.

You really need to pull it out of the frame to check the condition.

Carefully though. Removing old paper with ink from a frame, a mat, even separating the glass from the surface of the paper and ink, can cause lots of damage. If it appears at all stuck, have a pro separate it out for you. I've been there. Ink adhered to frame glass, leaving behind half the signature. Sometimes these pieces even have a coating of gloss that can make the whole piece stick like glue to its moorings. Always be aware when dislodging a piece from a mount of any kind that hasn't been done assembled super-professionally using inert, archival matterials.

You know your stuff, Woody.

Thankyou. Coming from "the Man", that's taken as quite a compliment! :)   Sadly, separation damage is a subject I have extensive personal experience in. I bought a collection in mostly frames. They appeared to be unscathed. Normal. Until I started to remove them from frames, some of them obviously framed for up to a century or more. After leaving ink behind on glass, I took the whole load to a guy that knew what he was doing with archival matters and chemistry, and he did the trick. If I kept going, I would have been a disaster.

Thanks, Woody. There's no "the Man" here tho...it's "The Community!" 

And it is effin' AMAZING!

WE are effin' AMAZING!
