Roger knows his stuff but it looked off to me. I wasn't 100% it was bad but I didn't trust it. I just checked some exemplars, though, and I think he's right.
I know what you mean. It doesn't look 100% fluid.This could because it was signed on an uneven surface. I see dozens of scruffy Beatles autos selling for big money.
I should have checked exemplars first. There are many characteristics similar to those in Georges they have, including in Beatles sets. I made a bad call on this one.
