Atypical at best but I'd say not real.

This one has a Beckett authentication supposedly. 

the Beckett cert does not mean much when it comes to Beatles.  These abbreviated Macca signatures are very difficult to authenticate.  unless I got this one in person, I would not want it.

Agreed. On one hand it resembles a style we have seen, on the other it may be good but rushed/atypical. The "u" is interesting in execution. I would not want this.

I have said this before and I will say it again, without prejudice.

None of these authentication services are more than ONE serious error away from absolute catastrophe.

Imagine, as a collector, that you have invested 100's or 1000's of dollars having your examples authenticated by this or that company and then that company goes belly-up because of a serious, widely-publicised error. Even if they were actually correct in their appraisal of your submissions it will count for nothing - you have lost that investment. It is actually detrimental to your cause.

Don't waste your money on these "services". Rather, rely upon the honest opinions of the contribrutors to this or similar sites who seek no gain for their insight.

Just as a footnote, if/when one of these TPAs falls from grace, those who went the sticker route instead of an LOA will be left with a permanent reminder.

Findbooks and JK - I too have been saying this. Those stickers I have always referred to as "damage", alteration certainly. Opinions/desires and reputations change.
