Beatles full signed color photo

Hello,

I bought this a few days ago in an auction.

It is an full color intact pull-out photo included in an 1964 UK-magazine called „Scream“.

I‘m very interested to know what you think about it, thank you.

And the barely visible start of the "J" stroke looks very good IMO.

Agree with you wholeheartedly that dotting being present does not inherently mean machine signed

Is the potential indent variable or even?

With these devices I would expect almost 0 indent at all - with ballpoint ink looking almost like crayon overlaid over the uncompressed texture of the paper.

If they managed to pull off indents, I would imagine them to be perfectly even. And I would expect there to be some trade off visible by looking at the ink.

That is what I was hoping. On to the in-hand exam. And thanks for the Friend Request :-)

I'm still coming at this just from the presentation alone. I keep looking at it at it also, but not for the same reason I'm afraid. It's almost uncanny how clean and fresh this looks on this digital scan. One bid also is very surprising. I would have thought this would have been one of the stars of the event (obviously Gotta Have It thought so as well based on the optimistic pre-sale estimate).

Is there a possibility that those slight ink puddles on both John and George (with what looks like possibly the same ink) are done for effect somehow?
