The first two are penned in the same hand, and I don't believe it to be by Paul for sure.

The third I am leaning no good as well, but wait for more opinions.

I am skeptical of all late macca autographs including these three.  also believe the first two are in the same hand, as evidenced by the strange "m".

The third is much harder for me than the other two, but I don't think it's real either. "Cheers" and the date are what made me most confident it's not OK. There's too big a spread between the C and H and the R isn't notched. And the "000" of the date is much smaller than the 2, which is quite unusual. The 2 is too rigid and Z-like as well. 

On the autograph itself, the P bows forward and not back even tho it leans slightly left, unusual for a leftie (same as the second one). The T is unusually small, which he sometimes does but not that often.

A 2001 example for comparison:

Interesting about the date. While it looks much different than the third one, the 2 is much taller than the 0s. I rarely recall seeing that.

I've seen it before and think it's okay. Here's another example. The inscriptions look pretty solid to me.

I don't think this Rosen Plaza stationary example is good. Lots wrong with the handwriting and the signature.

The handwriting on the second example isn't Paul's writing either...not even close to forgin g the handwriting like the 3rd one at least tries.

Does this handwriting look better?

I don't think they're real.

I seen these myself on the Chaucer Auction website and what is a bit strange that every month over the last few months they have between 3-5 McCartney autographs for sale and they seem to be in this style.

Could you post them please, Beatlebum? That would be really helpful.
