What did this set you back,Mike?

Ballroom, anyone else: Could you please post several examples of recognised Aspinall secretarials from this period and point out what to look for, so Mike can understand the situation better?

I have a signed Aspinall fan club photo. I will try to post it  Steve could you could you put it up.

The Beatles couldn't have possibly signed everything that was offered to them. You could get to them in 1962 and parts of 1963. By 1964 they were basically cut off from the outside world. When fans wrote to the fan club they would either receive something signed by the fan club...or an auto-pen signed card. Same with Neil Aspinall's Beatle signatures.  It wasn't to rip off anyone...it was done to try to satisfy the HUGE worldwide demand for something signed by The Beatles. These was no real monetary value associated with this stuff back then. After Lennon was killed in 1980...Sotheby's had the first real rock'n'roll auction in London in 1981.After that....Beatles memorabilia soared in value...and continues to this day. Lots of Aspinall stuff was sold back then as the real thing. Once you got familiar with his signatures...the fan club...and the auto-pens...it became easier to spot the real thing.

Well said Jim. In my early days of collecting I purchased many Neil signed items some for quite a lot of money. I learned the hard way. Once you study Neil's style he is fairly easy to spot. In my opinion this set we are discussing is indeed done by Neil.

Hey Fab...Thanks.My thoughts exactly. There are some Mal Evans sets out there as well. He signed when Neil couldn't...which wasn't too often.

The autopen holds only one pen not two

Mal Evans Beatles signatures...

This is Ballroom's Hard Day's Night album with Neil Aspinall proxy autographs:
