Thanks for your reply Jim. I understand that Tracks is the go-to for authentic Beatles autographs, but one can never be too sure.

Did you win this Philip? This was the one I was going to get if I didn't get the Hull autograph. I think its good. Tracks has a great reputation.

Hello James, yes I am indeed the proud new owner. Congratulations to you, the Hull autograph is a wonderful piece indeed. I have asked the group to look at this one as you can never be too careful, and it looked a little different than some examples of John's signature that I have seen previously.

Thanks Philip! I think the reason it might look strange is because when John hit the crease with his "L" he decided to start over. Definitely a lot of speed to the signature which is a good thing. But I understand having to be careful since Beatles stuff is highly forged and 90% or more is garbage . You could always pay a few bucks and have Roger Epperson or PSA look at it too but since we bought from a company with a good reputation, I don't think there is anything to worry about

Thanks so much for your insight, James. Interesting about the hurried nature of this example, it makes sense upon closer examination. I couldn't be happier to finally own this very special signature, and congrats to you too, as yours is a fantastic piece.
