I think it's probably real. It's unusual and may be controversial but it has a lot of genuine characteristics.

Always make sure an autograph isn't printed, though, which often can't be determined until you see it in person. I think that's highly unlikely in this case, though.

I also believe that it's authentic. Both the signature and inscription look quite good to me.

It's a fun autograph, isn't it, Ballroom?

That's a good way to describe it - fun and interesting.

that is an authentic McCartney signature.  But as Steve said, would have to see it in person to make sure there is no funny business.

I think it's real. And it looks very similar to this example in the current RR Auction (the Paul is the second image)

It's the thickness of that marker that makes it look different, but I say genuine.

This does not look authentic.

There is or was a similar from the same seller on ebay with the same - wrong - signature.

A couple of years there was a huge collection of autographs and they all had the same look. The overall feeling is bad and if you look at certain letters you will notice the difference to genuines.

my opinion.

Here is a similar one - and I think even Klaus is a fake...
