Beatles band signed program

This is currently up for sale at Omega Auctions. I could be wrong, but they look suspiciously like the British forgeries that were ever-present in UK auctions a couple of years back. 

What do you guys think? Are these authentic sigs?

Good catch! They very much look like they’re from that same UK forger.

Is the forger new? Or is he a forger from long ago? I've never seen his style. I think George's signature in particular is the best achieved.

That style goes back to at least 2018. It has been discussed here, but not for quite some time.

I'm a little surprised by Omega. They usually screen their autographs with quick opinions from Roger. For some reason, they appear to have abandoned that policy for the upcoming Beatles auction. I've seen a couple of other suspicious items in the sale.

Omega has been good in the past about removing questionable items. Maybe email them with your concerns?

Update: I wrote to Omega and they removed the item, apparently several people wrote.

Nicely done, Raul.

And here's what looks like another one at the highly reputable Adam Partridge Auctions. Maybe the forger is making a comeback ....

They set a low opening bid and estimate and included this disclaimer. Nice.

We have not authenticated this signature, please satisfy yourself as to the veracity of the item prior to bidding.

I should have been an auctioneer. It's basically a legal way to print free money! (as long as you cover yourself in the T&C's)

That's unbelievable! I thought Omega were more professional than that, even though I've never been a fan of their auctioneering style.

That’s from the one being offered by Adam Partridge Auctions. Omega removed the OP from their auction.
