I'd say not authentic.

It looks like it came from the infamous forger from California.

It doesn't look like the real deal to me...

It all just doesn't add up. I don't remember ever seeing a Beatles set where John had added a doodle and again where George has added his, so on that basis I would say a fake.. the George and Ringo signatures are decent fakes.

Thanks for the comments. What I don't like about the George signature is the symbol he made, which is for OMMMM... I've seen him do that, but it doesn't look like this. I posted the signature below in a different thread and Steve felt that it was done by Joe Long. While neither of these came directly from Joe Long, do you think that they may have come from the same forger? Notice the last part of McCartney, the lack of a continuous line, and the weak to non-existent line from r to t - characteristics that are found in both.

Definitely not real, but I'm not sure if it's the Southern California forger. Does it look look like the band-signed albums we're so used to seeing, FB?

Could it be Joe's work?

I wish I knew Beatles better. Erick McKay (our M Jackson forger in CA) does Beatles forgeries too. Every time I see one pop up here I end up going back and forth to my files to see if they match up, but I'm just not studied enough on them.
