5 Beatles Autographed LPs

Just found these 5 LPs up for auction at Swanley Auction Ltd in the UK. They all come with a COA. From the auction description:

This signed album has been authenticated with a COA issued by the signature analysis experts at Artist Museums.

From the listing: This signed album has been authenticated with a COA issued by the signature analysis experts at Artist Museums.

None of these look good to me.

I just checked the auction house - there are more than this for sale, and none look good, IMO.

Has anyone ever heard of Autographs Authentication Services? I was told by an employee of the platform Live Auctioneer and I quote “This particular signed record has been professionally authenticated by Autographs Authentication Services, a widely recognized and highly respected authority in the field.”. Referencing the HELP signed Lp. I’ve never heard of them and a google search reveals nothing no information on them. Must be a secret authentication service.

Global is sometimes referred to as "Autographs Authentication Services"...

Thank you - Global Authentics - never heard of them. $10 digital assessment and $250 for a Beatles LOA . So it seems they have authenticated at least 1 of the 5 LPs in the OP.

I don't know about the place Ballroom found, but Global Authentics is the opposite of reputable.

Global Authentics never went by Autographs Authentication Services. Ballroom is right. It was the fraudulent authentication service owned by Brian Burkel, then the owner of Autographs America.

For years now he's owned a forgery-selling online autograph store outside Las Vegas. It started as MMP Collectibles, then a number of names including Autograph Collectors Guild.

The guy has sold millions in forgeries.
