An increasingly commonly seen Beatles forgery style

I thought I would share this from Saleroom. I have seen this forgery style crop up on a few items recently. It is at first glance quite professionally done but has certain characteristics that stand out (the highly regular bunched together writing of Ringo Starr is one of them). Also notable is that it attempts a sort of mid 1963 Beatles signatures style on a late 1964 image. Anyway buyers beware.

That signature factory is prolific as I have seen a few others - I wonder where they are originating from?

I’ve seen quite a few of them too, especially from Dalshire International.

That’s a much better and more descriptive name.

One can only hope that prospective buyers examine a seller's negative feedback but it seems some people choose to ignore it.

Incredible.

One interesting point I saw a few years ago - I think from Frank Caiazzo. Forgers rarely put their marks on any item of high value such as a concert programme. The Four Aces in the listing may be an outlier in that respect. Given the overall scarcity of any fully signed Beatles LPs after With the Beatles, it seems incredible people can be taken in by all this array of "signed" records

Definitely agree with your observation. I’ve noticed that the more recent signings are on foreign pressings and items not often seen.  Not sure why they would bother as the signatures are always bad.
