After looking a bit I believe these are fake. See what others say - possibly same hand. If I had a dime for every time I've heard "...from an employee..."

Those types of forgeries are pretty common, apparently originating out of the Midlands (and never very good).

They're all close, but none of them are authentic, in my opinion.

I'm going to add something here, too. It's a good point for ANYONE that's buying autographs from someone. Anybody that forges, can say "my friends dad worked security at Shea Stadium when the Beatles played there, and...blah blah blah." Or "My cousin worked at Virgin Records, and the bands always came in." Uh, okay. Two things about this. First, it's not that hard to pick a record label that has the artists you're going to forge. Or to find the concert venue and date they played there. Second, if that person did, well...let's see the business card from said person. When I die, and my daughter or wife inherit my signed album collection, guess what they get with it? Business cards from when I worked as a DJ at a radio station, along with the date the people were in the studio and signed them (which can all be looked up). Sure, somebody can probably go thru the trouble of having fake business cards made up, even with a real employees name (crap, I probably gave some forgers a good idea), but...it needs to be a better story then the examples I just gave you.
