hey guys,

here is another John Lennon's autograph. the owner claims that he met Lennon in NYC in 1976. i'm very curious... what are the chances that this is true???

thank you!

A stripped down, minimalist signature here with nothing really concrete to go by, other than honing in on that clearly definable "L". Which is allegedly from 1976? Not from what I've seen. 

I have to go with forged, based on that 'L' from the stated year of that signature. I'd say it's safe to eliminate the 1975 through 1978 period for a possible 'L' of that type, intermixed with the rest of those characters.

Woody,

thank you for your reply! when i asked the owner about date he answered me that it was in the 70s (1975 or 1976). funny, but he doesn't remember what was the year. ok, maybe it's because he's 78 years old...

but i still wanna know if this real one or not...

I would say this is not real also.

Richard,

well... thanks

not to go against the grain here, and recognizing that Lennon is very tough to authenticate, I believe this could be real.

terrier,

thank you.

The "H to L" or "Jo Lennon" transition seems to be spot on for his '75/'76 signing era. I would hold on it. Also, the paper may be of genuine 1970's stock. A museum curator may be able to verify the age of the paper that it was written on if you live in nearby city.

Orzeck,

thanks.

Hi Tommy...  A couple of years ago I posted these TTM signatures that I received sometime in 1976.  Some folks here thought they were good and I see some similarities to yours - but others on these forums have more experience and are better qualified to advise you .... Steve

Steve,

wow!! great collage. i'm impressed, thank you!

However, the example in question makes a completely different use of space. All 4 from the collage are by the same hand. All similar architecture. The one on the lined paper, simply isn't. Even the manner in which it's written, John's entire apparatus is different than usual, especially when directly compared to the above 4 examples. Even the angle of the pen/hand/wrist indicates a different author, although that particular lined/cross-hatch type of paper has been in production prior to 1976.

thank you for your explanation.

about autograph which i posted. i found these pictures in internet... one was approved by PSA/DNA company, other approved by Roger Epperson for RR Auction. personal to me they are pretty looks like on signature which i've been posted. or i'm wrong?
