Really need your opinion guys. The man who offers this autograph said that autograph was obtained in Central Park in New York, in the mid 70s...

Your opinion very important to me!
Thanks!

I am not an expert on Lennon, but it doesn't look right to me. In the 70's examples I've seen the "H" and the "L" are never the same letter. He attempts to make both an H and an L. Given the very large amount of forgeries of Lennon, I certainly wouldn't buy it.

Thank you for response and advice. I found authentic example of Lennon autograph from 70's. And this is samples with "H" and the "L" is the same letter.

I´m no Lennon expert either...but just because this one has a PSA sticker doesn´t automatically mean it is authentic. They make mistakes, too. Just saying :-)

Yeah... I'm understand. Just I saw many times Lennon autograph only with one "H" or "L", usually signed in the end of 70's. Anyway thanks!

Yeah, its possible. I do see the similarities between the two. I guess it comes down to, will you be able to accept that it's real? Because I've bought pieces where I was not 100% convinced and in the long run I ended up selling them. Just couldn't have something on my wall where I was about 80% sure it was real. But thats a personal choice you will have to make.

James,

Thanks for this answer. Yes, always hard to make choice. Now I know that Letter of Authentication it's not guaranteed on 100% (I guess only on 90-95%), just because all can made mistake. Sad but true - you can trust only himself, of course if you have experience and nice arguments (comparison with others samples, history of autograph, and ect).

I am certainly no John Lennon expert, but based upon what I've seen of authentic examples, I would say not authentic. And even though fans many times will get an autograph on whatever is available, a piece of notebook paper is certainly nice (and inexpensive) to practice a forgery on, before settling on the final product. I believe I would pass.
