Paul McCartney

I purchased this Paul McCartney from a member of this site. I listed this item on ebay and it was removed stating it was not considered authentic. Before I submit this to PSA/DNA, JSA, or Roger Epperson, I would like some of your opinions. I've never had a problem like this before. Thanks.

Joe I would think about finding a photo from 97-98 since that is when you said the signature was circa. I would probably just do one of Paul alone. That is just my OCD however haha! It is all up to preference.

Agree, and agree it is preference. I'd be looking for a b/w photo by a photographer and have that signed as well - just did this with Bowie. Had it signed to me and dated 1/16. Heroes from 1978 @ Newcastle 6/15. Heavyweight, pear finish. ;)

That's a great suggestion Adam. May leave this one the way it's done. But, if I'm fortunate to find another Paul I will create a mat with a circa photo to match the signature. Nice tip!!

Very nice! Wise to stick with a b/w photo which wont "steal the show" from the signature. Remember, one can (when having images printed anyway) have the contrast bumped a touch or the white balance matched to increase the appearance/apparent strength of the sig, and of course all these things can be mitigated with framing/matte choices. This looks great - I might have gone cream and black - but this look wonderful. Glossy black anodized aluminum frame? Wood will outgas. I like that it is not symmetrical too! This does not appear "weak" to me - just very nice. Well done Joe!

Thanks Eric. I just happen to like this particular photo. I did purchase from the original photographer and should have had him sign it. Does have his copyright and sticker on the back of the photo. I try to mat to allow the signature to be the star of the show. Keep things simple. I mat by hand. Perfect not allowed!

I'm really happy to hear that Joe! Both for you and the seller, who is a really great guy!!

I personally really like this bold and strong signature. I prefer that over many of the semi-faded fuller signatures that members often drool about here at AML...

Good work on the framing too!!

I'm also positivly surprised about the long, detailed answer (with examples!!) you got from Roger. I always just get a "It's ok" or "Not real", when I use his quick opinion... :-)
