Here’s the original 2021 auction sale from before the JSA LOA was issued. I believe it sold for 5,000 GBP + BP.

A member inquired about it and was told that it came with a COA from a Las Vegas shop. The auction house wouldn’t reveal which one, but I’m guessing The Art of Music. Here’s a George from The Art of Music followed by the one from the Butcher print.

Hmmm.... East Bristol Auctions -- not known for having such high qualiy Beatles signed items. And we all know JSA makes lots of mistakes on music graphs.

When it was sold for 5,000 GBP + BP, it was framed together with a John signature. You can see it in the original auction pic. I wonder what happened with that.

I would say highly dubious. Not just the wafer thin provenance, auction history and suspect sigs but also the likelihood that someone would have been able to collect all these late sigs on this strange item.

I have a Hard Day's Night window card signed in the 70s/80s by these three but I have a strong provenance and the sigs are nowhere near as uniform as these, much earlier and much more convincing. The card also came with a separate Lennon but that was one the collector had bought and almost certainly not right.

Would you be willing to post a photo of your signed "A Hard Day's Night" window card??

My pleasure. Here is a link to a post I made back in August 2017. I posted the individual autographs in a much larger format as well a few days or weeks before. It was agreed that the Lennon was "off", which I kind of knew when I bought the item. I can post the individual autographs again if you like.

By the way, I always get a picture of a certain footballer in my head when I see your name - I used to watch the other Martin Peters at my home town club of Norwich when I was a boy.
